And you do 100 to 150 of these on a site.

Usually the land is donated by a wealthy landowner who can get a tax write off for leasing that land to the city for a dollar a year, can write off the taxes.

And then you bring in the services that are needed in that site and mental health services, security, et cetera.

And you triage people who actually can live in a tiny home versus need the mental health system, which unfortunately is more than half of our homeless in California.

And the reason that that is opposed by what I would call the homeless industrial complex in California is the set of incentives for the structures and the nonprofits in California to serve that population are very much oriented to building long term permanent housing.

Mm hmm.

But what we need is to get people off the street tomorrow, Chuck, because in California, day one, a homeless person, 17 percent are mentally ill.

By day 30, 35 percent are mentally ill because they have to get on a drug to stay awake, to not get raped or robbed or beaten or stolen from.

So that's an example where Trump has it completely right.

He just came out with another policy on real estate that I really agree with what's kind of progressive, which is to ban the huge funds from buying up all the single family homes.

That's another example.

You know, there are many others.

I think that being generally pro-business is a good thing.

And in California, California has an inferiority complex about being pro-business.

That's a great question.

Well, I did do it in California, so I can't speak to whether I could have done it anywhere else.

I mean, I've done it in California.

I have California to thank for lots of things, including.

my kids and, you know, my professional life.

So I'm hugely grateful to California.
