with a level of efficacy i would say what i've noticed in leadership at the local and city and state level that started to do innovative things and did have an impact on the city city is a demonstrably different city. i don't even have to tell you that. brooklyn now is so much different than it was many years ago. manhattan is the same thing now. there are whole other things, but it is a safer and more cohesive study but it is on the cutting edge of things you do right in the city government. los angeles started to experience that and some of its leadership in some of it as is a cohesive relationship with the community. to make it more safer you start to see on many levels they've done some things. some of the programs they've done innovative and these things kind of start in these major cities. they are innovative and standing outside the block that the resulting changes. having the police and community members meet i think those things are invaluable. >> host: there's an increased level of engagement and both of them in new york and increasingly in los angeles where community member
