Our average unit is 2-point-something beds, and most of our units are families, so I house well over 1,000 people. If 2% of them suck, we still see a lot of crime every year. Like, there's— you will see some crazy stuff in this, uh, in this business. People will, who are not on drugs, even in your nice properties, will get hooked on drugs. You'll see a lot of everything. There's a reason that we get paid a lot of money to do this. You will deal with some crazy people and it will happen and it will be okay.
