I think we're probably the first generation in four generations that is starting to pick up and move. You know, you grew up where your parents were raised and your grandparents were raised but your great great grandparents moved from somewhere. You know, mine came from Ireland and from Scotland. Our age group is the first group and then Gen Y. Now we're starting to move everywhere in Gen Z. But for the most part three generations were really growing where they were planted. I think now with the advent of the Internet, with Wi fi, with laptops and then with COVID people are literally just saying I don't want to live here anymore. I want to move to Lake Tahoe or I want to move to Napa, I want to move to Florida, I want to move to Dubai or I want to move to Portugal or Bali or you know, people are definitely unplugging and moving which isn't the normal kind of comfort Grower. You're planted.
