Las Vegas. And with images of the big short movie in the back of my mind, I went to that Expo. And that really convinced me that this was a fascinating story. It was like a modern gold rush. Yeah, that totally reminded me of that scene in the big short where Steve Isman and the guys at Front Point Partners went to the American Securitization Forum at Seizures Palace in Las Vegas and had a series of aha moments. And you have some similar examples like that in the book, whether it was the guy in the cowboy hat or the former model turned real estate developer with the Andy Warhol painting to sell. I guess one of the questions that comes to mind is how did all of these people become educated on this opportunity? Like what networks were they plugged into where they could learn about Opportunity Zones so early? I also want to ask you about Sean Parker because you mentioned him. I'm curious how an otherwise political novice like Parker could go from having this idea to actually getting it (9/40)
