the the land ownership development issues are are complicated.
And um look people the the idea that public policy can be passive in the face of people's genuine anxieties about the basics of life, right?
shelter, food, and fuel and the ability to choose a life for yourself and that public policy has closed doors for people and they feel trapped economically and uh uninspired.
I mean, this is what causes the smartest, most talented people to leave the country.
