There is just some requirements ive worked around it a little bit. But i do think that child care would be very important. We do have some onisland services already, but were expecting the island to have a lot more families in the future. And we just want to make sure were not repeating some of the same issues that we have, you know, in the mainland of San Francisco where we have child care wait lists, and the wait lists are 2,000 people. Okay, great. And then lets see. Im also curious you cited examples, like mercy and other existing commercial uses on the island. And ive often wondered about whether or not those existing restaurants, which are great, and i go to them, but i wonder what the proportion of local islanders residing on the island are really using those restaurants and retail versus people who are coming from outside of the island . And just be cognizant i think it would be very important for us to make sure we have retail and restaurants that caters to the island resident
