Yeah, so talk to me about this.
I mean, it's kind of a side hustle, but maybe an experiment that's going to work?
Yeah, normally what we focus in is adaptive reuse of old buildings.
So, you know, our mindset is already, how can we take an old building and find something new out of it?
So, you know, after the fires, I was just thinking like, okay, I don't have buckets of money to donate to people.
How can I put my unique, weird skills to use?
Then we started a group of architects trying to figure out how can we help rebuild.
And people were talking about prefab housing and moving RVs.
And I was like, prefab housing?
That's kind of like moving a house, which they used to do in the city.
We moved hundreds, thousands of houses when they built the Hollywood Freeway.
We should say Los Angeles has a long history.
I mean, I'm sure it happened in a lot of cities, too.
But here with the freeway construction and everything, that was the gig in this town for a long time.
There was a lot of land open at that time, so it was a possibility.
And we, to some extent, ran out of space to put houses.
There's only seven movers in the state.
