Councilmember one I'll just quickly add that we, in response to Councilmember Morales's very question that we do, we did have a very energetic discussion and thorough discussion in the Sustainability and Renters Rights Committee on January 23rd. And in fact, the legislation that was discussed was itself an amended version based on the feedback we had already received from tenants, rights advocates and also small landlords. I am happy to look at amendment that are forthcoming, but I would really urge the council offices to send us the amendments as soon as possible so that we have time to review them. Wonderful and appreciate the dialog this morning as well at council briefing. It sounds like this is a friendly request to hold and appreciate the council colleagues working together on this. And I appreciate the question from Councilman Morales, as we're all eager to see the language. Being worked up and I know the community is as well without any additional hands that I see requesting to comment.
