QUESTION:

[Need to talk about how Kilroy is better or worse than them] What about private competition? No need to go on getting all the names but is the competition intense? Not as intense? Should we care. Remember public REITs are much bigger than smaller real estate companies so- But then there are small real estate companies that can hold. Some research would be good.
