And I've used that term before.

At the same time, I I appreciate some of my colleagues have said we have to provide some certainty to this industry to make sure that they know we're not just keep jacking up every year.
podcast-host
I will say at the same time, um, we are here, at least in my opinion, because we wanted to finally sort of reach a point of equilibrium where folks, at least on the real estate side, whether they
podcast-host
Residences or businesses don't see as nearly big shocks because even if there is a slightly bigger assessment, their base rate is already lower.
podcast-host
So it's not gonna be much of an impact.
podcast-host
And to go back to something I know Suragori has talked about before.
podcast-host
Data centers also benefit from lower t real estate tax rates.
podcast-host
So I hate to say it this way.
podcast-host
I mean I I don't know exactly where this point is, but we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars or a couple million dollars in terms of racks and computers, but they're also then saving
podcast-host
Hundreds of thousands, not millions of dollars in the real estate tax bill at that point.
podcast-host
Us going down on real estate also helps them too.
podcast-host
So this is not like they're only losing when we raise this, if part of what we're doing is lowering the real estate tax rate.
podcast-host
So I wanted to make sure people are sort of clear about that.
podcast-host
The last thing I'll say about this is I think that you know if we go through with these rates as they are, um, I have
podcast-host
No intention of going back to the wellness because I think that you know Sureza Vegas said it well.
podcast-host
We can't keep going back the same uh uh eggs in one basket.
podcast-host
We have to find other ways to raise other revenues or figure out ways to cut to get to where we need to go to to keep uh living affordable for our residences and our businesses.
podcast-host
And the very last thing I'll say to go back to something that Super Razor Gordy asked me earlier in terms of
podcast-host
Uh exempting some of this from from the Revenue Share Agreement, I still want to put back forth on the table the idea of doing 30 cents of this increased rate.
podcast-host
exempt from the revenue sharing agreement.
