They've just got to 468 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 9: be better apartments.

You know, 478 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 9: you want to live near where the action is.

And that's probably better than 484 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 10: half of the suburbs, with some with a home on 485 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 10: an eighth of a quarter. 486 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: Yeah sure, Rossie.
