So to bring it back around to Wynn, because I think Wynn sort of is a solution point for everything that we've talked about here in some ways.
Adding density without adding cost or foisting cost upon the state or upon the towns is one of the key considerations.
Adding housing that has to go toward people who make within those bandwidths is part of the solution.
Just adding more volume of housing, even at market rate housing, If you're talking about a developer who's not building the McMansions that Chris mentioned earlier, but maybe just like, I would say modest with an air quote, you know, three bedroom, one and a half bath home with a garage.
Like that would have been perceived as maybe a second home 20 years ago, could be a starter home today, but just something in that set out there in the market allows mobility, right? And the mobility frees up space in the quote starter homes or in the apartments that takes care of, you know, drives down maybe some of the demand for rent, which is maybe disfavorable among some.
but then normalizes rent and you have more mobility through rental into ownership and out of ownership into retirement.
