In regards to the design, id like to point out that this has been a fouryear process, and that we worked diligently with the Planning Department to come up with this design. Us and the design team, we worked very closely together. Calle 24 and their group, we discussed some potential design changes, and all they came up with during their meeting is we should change the railings to iron railings that looked more spanish style, and thats been it. Weve worked on the courtyards, all of the units have proper exposure. Were creating courtyards that are used by the tenants, that are landscaped, we have a roof deck, we have a landscaped rear yard. This is hardly a hotel. Those units are designed with the courtyard to get front and back exposure so you can have light coming in both directions. A lot of units dont provide that. Commissioner melgar okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Commissioner melgar i just wanted to remind you that this body is, ultimately we understand that. Commissioner melgar
