It might be bad.

But I think if you look at this carefully, for example, what's one of the impediments or one of the costs of buying or selling a house is

is the real estate price.

So the realtor takes, you know, they used to take, what, like 6%.

But, you know, now sometimes you can get 3% and you go through a bigger company.

So corporatization or making something bigger where a bigger entity owns something sometimes leads to lower costs because they can actually lower costs.

So to me, it's just a freedom issue.

I don't think actually probably I think the price of homes has gone up because the value of dollars gone down.

We are destroying the dollar.

It's like, is gold more precious?

No, people are freaking out about how many dollars have been printed and how much debt we're incurring.

So the dollar loses its value and prices are home.

I don't I'm not making light of the problem.

You know, I have kids of the age of trying to get into houses.

It's it's difficult.

Prices are extraordinarily high and interest rates are still high, too.

That's the fear.

I know.

I think I would probably want to study it more thoroughly to find out if that's actually the result because some people talk about a fear of it happening.

You know, if I'm Blackstone, I'm not doing stuff just to hold them around.
