Have you heard good things about them? If I've heard about them, it's probably that they're bad.

I can tell you what happened. Go for it. So when COVID hit, they had shelter in place. So they had this project where they would overtake hotels The state forced hotels to rent their rooms, or not rent their rooms, but give their rooms to homeless people. So for one example, there was Hotel Whitcomb. Whitcomb? Whitcomb. How do you spell it? W-H-I-T-C-O-M-B.

They let 400 homeless people live at Hotel Whitcomb, and they just sued the city because they reported $25 million in damage done to their building during that period by 400 homeless people, 18 of which died in Hotel Whitcomb. So in a short period of time, they housed 400 people and they settled for 19.5 million in damages. But, you know, these people- That was a failed idea.

That's a really bad idea. And that is housing first in a nutshell, like right there. Like we had all these homeless people, COVID hits. We gave them housing. We gave them studio apartments and hotels and they destroyed the hotel and 18 of them died.

I believe that's linked to the SIP shelter in place program.
