Right.

What, what we get branded for is because, you know, we don't have the urban living and

that most people associate with a big market.

And that's because when you come to Utah, you actually kind of want to spread out.

But we're the fastest growing, youngest demographic in the country.

So what people also don't know is within Salt Lake City, within 90 miles, you've got 250,000 college kids that most come out here, want to stay here.

And so you always want to bet on youth.

If you take Stanford and Cal and Caltech out of Silicon Valley, you kind of don't have Silicon Valley.

What makes Boston special and kind of rejuvenating all the time is that education system.

And so I'm super long on cities and growth where there's always youth coming in.

and then what they do.

The key is, and I feel like it's unique that my wife and I and our group, we're in a position to kind of take a little bit of the announcement or the baton of city building and community building.

So right before I came here, I just announced a new health

partnership for both of our teams we're building this we bought a mall so 110 acre mall right in south salt lake and we just put our utah mammoth hockey team is two years old the practice facility there we've got a corporate offices there and then we just announced a new practice facility that'll be done you know in september of next year

for hoops all together, but with their own separate worlds.

So we just announced within our mountain, a 60,000 square foot healthcare facility that services both.

That's like super innovative and, um,

This is part of our responsibility now with these teams.

And we're actually doing the same thing downtown.
