I think there are two things happening. One is that there is business confidence and the actual, real costs that businesses are suffering. A general sense from businesses is that they don't necessarily always parse which level of government is responsible for which pieces of law and enforcement. They're frustrated overall with the system and the catch-and-release they're experiencing. There's the business confidence piece, which we see and are monitoring, and it's just going down.
The other piece, with the general public, is that downtowns are like people. Their reputations can be ruined very quickly and they take a long time to recover. In our business, we're used to saying, “Come downtown. It's perfect.” It's very hard for us now to make a pivot to say, “You know what? Things aren't perfect.” We're hearing this from our customers, so we really see the urgency in acting now, providing confidence to business owners and getting the message to the public that there's going to be a change in the way things are enforced downtown.
I would agree that there is some urgency to move this along.
