Once again....

10% of properties going up 15% is not a 15% devaluation of the program. It's (without getting into weighting) roughly a 1.5% decrease in the value of the program.

You don't believe that 1 property going up 100% and 4080 properties (MR count from my 2015 data) staying flat is a 100% devaluation of the program, do you?

We haven't seen the entire MR program weighted devaluation go down 25% since...ever.
