Certainly, just based on the experiences I've had with them, I think Colorado Springs is a very good model, in part because their experiences certainly have not been a panacea. They've really wrestled with some of these important internal questions about whether they're sacrificing value in one area to preserve value in another. I think that's probably more honest and normative. I would be a little skeptical of agencies that make this seem really easy and painless.
