because it is a concern, as you said, as it s close to the affluent neighborhoods. it s something they don t want to see, and people want to be necessarily herded into shelters either. let me just tell you it is a profound crisis here. this is just in the city. there s over 50,000 people living on the streets, who have pitched tents and a lot of different places. and we do absolutely have to get people off the street right away, but my concern is that our city kind of has two choices to go, are we gonna go back to failed strategies, which is really just about hurting people and incarcerating a percentage of folks, or are we going to build the type of housing that is needed, and address the underlying problems? and so, that is a very big issue. and we have to involve every single level of government, that s one of the things i bring to the table, especially with my federal state county and city relationships. this should be interesting. are you ready for a runoff, if it ha
was a blatant attempt to use force, to destroy american democracy and the rule of law. that s what made that day so uniquely terrifying, such an existential threat to the democratic order. the organizers, the rioters, wanted to topple the rightful government, and install a wrongful one, using mob violence to do so. the president backed them on, as some of the people closest and participated in the planning. in the variety of wannabe paramilitary groups, they view january six as a testing ground for precisely this undertaking, for using force, violence, intimidation and the threat there of, to overturn the democratic order. today, we saw a big development in the case against one of those groups, the proud boys. department justice charged the longtime leader of the proud boys, enrique tarrio, and four of his top lieutenants, with extremely rare charges of seditious conspiracy. as the indictment alleges, quote, the purpose of the conspiracy was to oppose the lawful transfer of p
