We have seen a tremendous growth in the mobility of people. We've seen a tremendous growth in where they go. The old spoke and wheel system from outlying areas into the center city to work has basically disappeared in favor of people going from one suburb to another suburb or traversing through various communities.

We are the oldest populated part of the nation, therefore, we have land that's been developed forever.
