And you see what I worry about, like being here and, you know, we talk about a lot more national topics, but like as it relates to small town America a little bit. The changing dynamic when housing brings in people from other markets because it's more affordable, but not necessarily affordable. More affordable to them because they were used to paying $800 to $1.5 million for a three-bedroom house.

Where in South Carolina, that's been a $200,000 to $400,000 cost. I'm not talking about high end. I'm just talking about middle of the road. And people come here and they're like, hey, we're used to paying this rate. We'll take that. And they get a little more square footage.

So what happens, though, is what happens to market like ours when you get an influx of different personalities, beliefs, etc.? And I'm not saying we're all so different, but it can change the makeup.
