hard. is it sustainable? can they just keep going here from one neighborhood to the other or o park to the other? i believe that they have. i believe the answer, the short answer is yes. i do believe it's doable. the question is, do they have the will? they seem to have the political backing now, and that's always been a serious issue in san francisco. if he didn't have the political backing as chief, you weren't going to really do anything. so i think they have a chance. i just hope they do not. i hope they break that pattern of pushing the problem from one area to the next, but they have to stay on top of this. this has to happen on a regular basis, and i think it's fantastic that they do have the mayor's support. yeah, there is some optimism in san francisco. michael henninger, thank you for your time. very good. interesting insight as well. appreciate it. thank you. let's move on now. economic shockwaves as we prepare for president trump's tariffs. the trump administration says tariffs against canada, mexico and china will go into effect march 4th. that's next tuesday. today, the president al
