Let me ask you. It's like the Hippocratic Oath. Do no harm. Do no harm. How can mayors address...

Like San Francisco recently... I got all caught up in the fact that you can't put these phone booths in your office.

So everyone loads up their offices with these phone booths. In San Francisco, they're illegal.

But the mayor's kind of like, I don't know if there's enough action that I can take because it's in law that there's all this kind of regulatory stuff.
