Through the chair, this we believe, one, with properties transferring to the municipality like from the school district for management authority will slow the disposition of them. For instance, we cannot start some of those preliminary actions before it is in the inventory and that takes time. And more so, we see it constraining as drafted, recognizing just the emphasis on housing is noble and important to where we have to go, but there may be properties where it is— the weighing of those factors will be difficult under these criteria to demonstrate part of that maybe should be a commercial use under PARP parcel. And by slowing the process, will you end up losing the ability to develop certain things, or will you lose opportunity, do you believe?
