Why I'm asking, so I think we can do it. It seems like zoning to me, but yeah, yeah, I mean, we certainly, I mean, we usually attack things from what's permitted, but then I guess you could just add a provision saying data centers are prohibited in all districts from this date to this date. Yeah, and then just have a sunset on it. That's my proposal. So it would be a standalone, and it would go in effect as soon as, as soon as we, we get it through.
