Question: Susan Marie Maklari - Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: My first question is just around input prices. Can you talk about what you've seen there? We've obviously seen lumber spike more
recently. How sustainable are you thinking that is? And how are you thinking about the outlook for some of the material?
Question: Susan Marie Maklari - Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. That's helpful. And then following up on that, can you just talk to any supply chain disruptions that you've seen. Has any of
that been mitigated as things have come back? And maybe especially just given how shutdown some of your markets are, how
should we think about the impact of that? I know, Marty, you mentioned some delays on some fiscal third quarter deliveries in there.
But can you just give us some sense of the supply chain and how things are working there?
Question: Ryan John Tomasello - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: This is Ryan Tomasello on for Jade. Just regarding Apartments and City Living, you gave some color in your prepared remarks on the
former but can you speak a bit more about how you're thinking about the outlook for those businesses post the dust settling? Can
you remind us how much equity you currently have allocated in each of those segments? And you mentioned you'll be closing a
few apartment JVs in the second half of the year. I was wondering how much capital that relates to and what the intention is to do
with those proceeds, if you expect to reinvest those back into the Apartment business.
Question: Ryan John Tomasello - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: And just in terms of the outlook, particularly in City Living post this environment becoming a bit more certain, if you expect City
Living demand to be a big -- continue to be a driver for the business?
Question: Ryan John Tomasello - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then just in terms of the land market, I was wondering if you're seeing any noticeable adjustments in prices there, either
positive or negative in your major markets over the past few months with the current environment.
