So what Elaine...
observed in a really interesting theory is that these were not novices, Elaine, right?
These developers were not just some first-time yutzes looking to build $2 billion worth of luxury housing here on Fisher Island, the nation's richest zip code.
These are some pretty sophisticated players, and you suspect that maybe this was the scheme all along.
The scheme that cost Jimmy Morales his job was the scheme all along.
Right.
And it's costly and protracted.
Yeah.
The taxpayers is us.
And at the risk of stating the obvious, these developers who are very active for decades and decades in this community are also very generous donors, of course, to the elected class of people who are making these decisions or in this case, failing to make the decision to pull the trigger on purchasing this property prior to its public listing, which they could have gotten for 140 million, I think was one of the prices that were floated recently.
Early in the process, and I want to tell you, Roy, at the risk of stating the obvious again, you can't have an airport or a port without gas, without petrol, without fuel.
And so the Port of Miami is the only port that I'm aware of on the eastern seaboard from New York to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale that doesn't have its own on-site or directly adjacent fuel depot.
This is across the channel at Fisher Island, this gorgeous, very exclusive, very expensive island.
That's probably.
Private Island.
And it's been there for almost 100 years.
And it's very like not secure.
You can kind of roll up on a dinghy and throw shit at it.
It's not.
And so I don't blame the residents of Fisher Island for not wanting this thing there.
