But you know, some would argue that's what makes Houston so special. It's a loud development, but you know, we are really being challenged by our transportation. I think Metro, Metro needs to go through an Ernst and Young Review since, since 2019. Hear me out. They've not improved their service routes at all. No increase in service routes. They've hired 750 people at Metro since 2019. We need to scrub it, make sure they build things that people will use and hold people accountable. (27:22–27:33)
