I&amp;#x27;m fine being quoted on that.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s just about a joke anywhere else I&amp;#x27;ve seen. Such as annual fees just to maintain an LLC. As if you&amp;#x27;re not already paying a high effective tax rate.&lt;p&gt;The cost of living and cost of doing business doesn&amp;#x27;t make much sense in other major metros. Unfortunately, so many people are coming here that it&amp;#x27;s raising our COL, too.</text></comment>
