And the drugs and violence in the city is getting worse and worse. It's not on the level of someplace like Chicago yet, but ever since the legalization of weed a few years ago, the homeless population has just exploded, there are homeless begging on nearly every street corner now, even in the suburbs, and the violent crimes have become more worrying. Just over the weekend there were 3 more shootings in the city with multiple dead, all homicides. And just a little over a week ago, just a few miles from our house, a deputy sheriff was shot and killed when responding to a report of an attempted robbery.
