Oh, I know, bro. And you want to know another thing about, I don't know if we need to take this conversation a completely different direction, but once the government sees that your business starts to do well, they're like, Oh, they start salivating. Cause my jujitsu Academy was open for fucking, we opened in 2015, but I was a cop for a lot of the time. So it was more like a little hobbyist club.

And as soon as the Academy blew up, Oh, well, suddenly you need a higher flow rating for your water and you need more shrubbery around your parking lot and you're going to need this and you're going to need that.

So bro, yeah, perfect example. I've been open 10 years. Last year we needed a parking lot assessment. I said, well, cars have been parking here since 2015 without an issue. Why would I need my parking lot to be assessed by the county?
