In the homelessness community, particularly. But I'm not I'm not familiar with anything additional. I mean, you know, sometimes, you have people that are suffering from mental issues, mental health issues that can be addressed, you know, through treatment Sure. And whatnot, and they can get back on track and and and get back into society. Right? And sometimes you have people who are, you know, drug addiction, and they need a similar path. Right? They need to work through some of their issues as well and get back into society. But there are some, like mental health cases or in people suffering from mental health, issues that are a danger. And there's no amount of, first of all, you can't make them go to treatment. So if you can't make them go to treatment, then you can't make them take housing. But they're, you know, some people, that I've spoken to and at some of my community meetings have said that, they're dangerous, and they're terrorizing, you know, already already vulnerable communities. Immigrant communities Very low income communities. They're terrorizing those folks. And so I would like to see our state lead the way in coming up with a fair and just compassionate policy that deals with them as well, that is able to deal with them. Because there are some people who are not gonna take the treatment at all, and they're not gonna take the homelessness, and we need to figure out how we deal with that. There are some who are just flat out dangerous, and those are the ones that I'm more concerned about that, that for everyone else's safety, that they they need to there needs to be a process by which the state can intervene. I don't know. Yeah. You know, I don't I don't know if I don't know how many, you know, people are upset about what I just said, but to do nothing is not the answer. So if you've got a better idea, I am welcome to hear it.
