Well, Los Angeles is an example. You know, it's poorly run. We have a mayor there that can't even get permits to the people that lost their houses. [U.S. EPA Administrator] Lee Zeldin got every permit. The hardest permit is the federal permit. Within 20 days, every single permit was there for the people to build their houses; but people are writing us and they're saying, They won't give us the mayor is incompetent.
