Other agencies part of the city budget for whatever it might be are having to spend money stay great cost per tree because they dont have the inhouse staff. Thats valid.

Reporter neighbors stopped by with flowers. San jose police say they are worried about the quick escalation. They want to hurt you, they want you to see their weapons, they want you to be in fear for your life so you give up whatever property you have. Theyre working in tandem.
