Oh, signs. Upper-scale areas that maybe were less concerned with shoplifting, so maybe less security, less locking things up. Anything close to downtown was pretty much untouchable. They had everything locked up already. So, you know, I didn't really go to the Valley, but, you know, we'd hit Culver City, Malibu, Palisades, things like that.

Yeah. So this is, this is very, yeah. So the policy, the policy, the broken policies incentivize bad behavior because they don't punish bad behavior. Um, like I told you in 2011, I didn't shoplift cause there was a felony. Uh, you know, you would get a felony if you got caught shoplifting. So I didn't do that. once it was removed, the incentive was there to start shoplifting.

So that's just one policy. But, um, you know, I just was allowed to use drugs openly wherever I wanted. Uh, I was allowed to act out antisocially in public spaces and restaurants. I was allowed to not pay my fare for the subway or the bus. Um, and I was allowed to sleep outside any, anywhere I wanted. And, um, You know, these sorts of things, you know, people will do what you let them do.

You know, it's a pretty basic concept of human psychology that for some reason the people that are in charge of making policy, they just won't listen to me. You know, it's very obvious, you know, you will do what you, and then another thing is that I wanted treatment. I wanted detox. I wanted treatment. There was incredibly few resources to achieve that.
