The city is packed getting anywhere. There's gridlock. You can't walk down the street. It is dynamic. And then I talked to people about offices and they said, people are staying in their houses and their tiny little New York apartments. Instead of going three train stops to their office, they go to the office one or two days a week. But there's a lot of people still working from home. The finance people have all gone back. Media people are starting to go back. So there are three to five days here. And the city is booming. Nobody in the city. Like literally a ghost town. It's a real shame. A real real shame.
