with things that could double for new york.e're trying to not just focus on the normal reasons why people come here. i do think when you're talking about new york being cost prohibitive is they do have a very strong state incentive. it is a 30% tax credit. they also then have an additional 5 percent tax credit for new york city. they also have three police officers -- free police officers. they do not charge for police. ours are were $100 per hour minimum. that is $1,200 per officer. so it is comparatively very expensive to shoot here rather than new york. you -- the new york also has a $300 -- sorry, i am doubly down on my words. they have a $300 per project feet and rss $300 per day. really the cost to make a difference. i think that is also why the production has jumped so much in the past were 2006 they had nine television shows there and now have three. they are really using the tax credit to their advantage. unfortunately we do not have that. in california we have the 20 percent tax credit. it is used of the first day it
