So we have a housing crisis in America. And it's not just manifested in the fact, you know, we take it. This is something we take, take for granted that we should not. We got over 600,000 people who are homeless in America. Go to any city, including Burlington, people sleeping out on the street. This is America, the richest country on earth. We should not have people sleeping out on the street. (58:06–58:11)
