So you can see in and sort of enjoy what's going on inside.

And some of our businesses cover them up with all sorts of notices and things.

And some are nice.

But I do think that the idea that you can look inside and see what's going on makes

makes a restaurant or a store much more inviting to go into.

So I hope that when you do the outreach, you'll do a little bit of marketing on our signage ordinance as well.

Thank you.

Yeah, it was my question.

And frankly, it came up when I went on a tour of a new building once.

And one of the builders was saying, yeah, he thought maybe these might actually be used for offices.

And I thought, oh, that's interesting.

And apparently, it's not legal without a permit.

So, but when I think of what you need in a, like a small engineer's office or a therapist's office or something like that, you know, a studio, you have a, you know, you have a nice living room kind of area, you have bathroom, you have sort of, that could work, but apparently you would have to get a permit for that, and we don't typically do that.

Another thing in my asking questions about this to some other people, I found out that this would be a very, very expensive office, unless you live there, because the cost per square foot is, at least right now, much higher in apartments than it is in apartments.

Yes, I submitted a question about vapor barriers.

You're in the area of the MEW groundwater plume.

And so I wanted to ask you about your plans for a vapor barrier.

Well, I just want to bring that up because it's a safety issue for the people who are going to live there.

And it's really crucial that it's done properly.

And one of the things that I've observed over time is that requirements just get more stringent.
