Perhaps this is a policy question. It has often struck me that it would be far better if public money was used to own. We get 10% or perhaps 20% of new private developments. The ISIF is involved in some of those. Would it be a good investment or could the ISIF make an investment decision for us to own 50% or 70% of them? That would also potentially mean we could control rents a little better when they get completely out of kilter.
