Years, that 500 a year to establish that costing 1500. If you break that down into per visit, if youre making 52 visits in a year, it comes out to 10 per visit and were cog g a lot of that. The hesitation on our part, we dont want to plant a tree if we dont have a program in place to water it. And currently our watering staff is maxed out as many trees as we can water as they take trees off the list as theres room to add more trees.

I think the most striking statistic from the initial data that we got from the Police Department was how African Americans are overwhelmingly, disproportionately victims of violent crimes, homicide, Sexual Assault and assault.
