They go into the legal system, judges, lawyers, courtrooms, you pay. They get incarcerated, you pay. Let's go downtown, Main Street. We were in Seattle. This gentleman, 21-year-old kid, blessing, was overdosing. They hit him with Narcan, revived him. They hit him with paddles, got his heart started again. He vomited.
He turned around and said to the fire department, get lost, I don't want your help. That was right in front of the Wharf in Seattle, the original Starbucks store, and he was laying on the ground in front of the Nike store. You have to say, how is that affecting tourism, commerce, small business administration, property values?

They're all declining in northwestern cities, and we have to course correct. We have to provide these universal services. these universal services, 360 services, because you're already paying too much to not get enough results. And Marvin, maybe you want to jump in here with some of the results of the care that's going on at Johns Hopkins and with CityGate and with you at Haven for Hope.

You know, getting back to this kid, Blessing, he was gone. He was flatlined. They revived him. He vomited and turned over and said, I refuse your help. And the reason they do this is not just because the high is so good. They do this because the way they feel emotionally, psychologically, and physically when they're not on the drug is so terrifying that

It's so painful to them that they would rather risk their life. We were speaking to the fire department in Spokane, and they had a 911 call for the same person six times in one day. And this leads me to something that's radical that I'm going to say that doesn't sound very left because they talk about the freedom, the freedom, the freedom. Someone does have the freedom to get high.

Someone does have the freedom to be homeless. Someone has the freedom to do drugs. And if they overdose and they die, that is free. But not when it costs you and me The taxpayer's money, that's not freedom for us to have to pay for the emergency room and for incarceration and for all the different ways in which this is affecting our lives. So I've done conservatorships before.

I am suggesting, and I am not an expert, I want to leave it to the professionals, the paramedics, the lawyers, the doctors, all of those people, the nonprofits that have their sleeves rolled up and they're getting their hands dirty, literally in the encampments, like I did for a long time, but the encampments and the shelters, I want to give them the ability to take conservatorship out of the courts,
