Now, how much of that is Americans coming over versus Europeans or international visitors?

That part hasn't been teased out.

Bar owners are saying they've lost 50% to 70% of their revenue as a consequence of the loss in foot traffic.

And this goes on and on and on and on.

And I'm going to say...

If you want to improve the crime situation in any city, I think it starts with not hurting the economy.

Because to the extent the economy gets hurt, I think you would probably agree you're now causing – you're risking – The crime rate goes up.

The crime rate going up because of all these other factors that are in place.

I mean, again, people –

Let's take D.C.

because I can't speak for Chicago, right?

And I have no ability, and I can't speak for D.C.

I'm not D.C.

I lived there in the 1980s.

I've seen what crime looks like in a real bad way during the era of Marion Barry, for example.

What I would say to people is like people ask, is D.C.

safe?

Everyone's going to have a different answer about that.

In my opinion, yes, of course it is.
