What makes your community a great place to raise a family? So I think my community is a great place to raise a family because I think the biggest thing is just the inclusivity here. I grew up in Simi Valley, California. It's kind of the suburbs. It's probably about, it's right in the middle of everything. It's 45 minutes out of LA, probably 30-40 minutes from the beach. Closest one's Malibu. There's mountains all around. Very safe neighborhood. And I couldn't, funny part is I could totally see myself raising a family here, having kids, and just growing up it was, it was unbelievable. Sports and everything is great. The food is awesome. My favorite's In-N-Out. I love In-N-Out. I can't get enough of it. But like I said, yeah, I think the biggest thing is just the inclusivity. It's very, very nice. A very kind of niche community. It's in the suburbs. It's an unbelievable spot and I just can't say enough good things about it.
