In fact, Mr. Chairman, this is about building that type of synergy. This is about ensuring that we reconnect, reconnect people with their civic duty, reconnect the working class with the people that are unemployed. We are not saying that people who are unemployed are not worthy of public housing; we are just saying where we have concentrated the unemployed, the people of very low incomes in certain communities, it has proven to be disastrous. That is why virtually every public housing authority across the country and every large public housing association that represents housing authorities that work with these tenants are in support of more local flexibility, are in support of our approach.
