I believe very much in a dialogue between buildings - I believe it's always been there. I think buildings have different identities and live very well next to each other.

Leverage is great when it works, and when it doesn't work, it creates a lot of issues. So I think if you limit the amount of leverage that people can borrow, or that banks can borrow, I think you'll find that you'll have a lot less issues going forward.
