joining me is linda russell, she is deaf and she's the resident manager of apache asl trails. , mary vargas, who represents the buildings is also here. and linda's entree preor the rocky debuno. good to have all of you here. linda, let me begin with you, linda, what are the fears among the residents? >> well, the people are very concerned that they're going to be thrust back into a situation where they are very isolated. and also they were very concerned and we've got a lot of nerves being built up because of that. we don't know what's going to happen. you know, isolation is very scary for any kind of a person, but especially those who are senior citizens or those who are older. you know, and so we don't want to see people be thrust back into isolation. >> and, linda, as someone who is deaf, you know, you have these resources at the apartment complex that was built expressly for people who are deaf. what do you think about the federal government coming in and saying, we don't want deaf people to live in a place that was designed for deaf people? >> well, i'm very disappointed i
