And any new builds are pricey, competitive, and or teardowns at this point. 30-45min from downtown it gets affordable and there are a lot of new builds like Wendell, Wake Forest, Youngsville, Fuquay Varina, those kind of suburbs.

REI Central is on the first Thursday of each month at Palmetto Brewing on Huger St downtown at 6p, and the CHS Circle is usually either the first or second Tuesday of each month at different locations.

Can you kindly send me some recommendations for GC too who have experience working in downtown Philly
