The NESC report I mentioned also referred to the speculative nature of land deals and that speculative hoarding was also driving house prices. That is not something the LDA will be engaged in. What Mr. O'Rourke said as well is that the cost of land coming to the LDA will have a positive impact in driving down prices to make housing, and cost-rental housing, affordable. It is a good NESC report.
