And it's not only the streets of New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami. There is mental illness that's prevalent. I don't know if it's always been prevalent. I don't know if it's a newer thing. Drugs are much more intense. Even straight up marijuana is much more intense, but they have this K2 stuff. And people are like losing their minds. And we are not doing anything to address it.
