The outcome there is better.

Um, and so I would look for certainly to involve this body, uh, and look for appropriate ways to involve the body.

Um, so that you have a voice and not just a, a, you know, a vote.

I think we need to continue to devote the resources to the underlying causes, and I'm sure that is collaboratively with the county and the areas that the county works in, in human services and human resources, human services.

I think the balance to that, balance is probably the wrong word,

I think we need a vibrant city across the board.

I think we need to take care of folks who are temporarily unhoused and realize that they're not the enemy, that they are folks who are in a situation that we're blessed not to be in as we sit here today.

So we have to be compassionate and we have to put the resources.

I would say, and I think I can help in this process, we have to combine the resources and perhaps help to guide the resources of the public and the private and nonprofit sectors in working on these issues.

And then both for the folks who find themselves on the streets and for those who are using those areas, we need not just the perception but the reality of safety.

And so I think it's balancing those things so that we are attentive to the needs.

These are our neighbors, right?

But we also all have to feel, including those neighbors, have to feel safe in our various areas.

I'll try.

Great question.

I'll try to take that in some order.

I mean, I think we have to continue to show that we are not good, but exceptional stewards of that business because we are, um,

as is any city like us that operates an airport, we are at risk with Raleigh.

And I don't mean that adversarially to Raleigh, but we are at risk.

We are in a state where Raleigh has that type of control, as most states.
