We all feel it. It’s not just you, and the half dozen businesses near you.
Which is why I said "indeed most (if not all) businesses in the downtown core feel exactly the same way".
I'm not sure what you're on about Mike ... I'm relating a factual series of events that clearly indicate that VicPD doesn't have a handle on street crime in the downtown core.
Further noting that a change in VicPD management might result in a more positive result is simply a logical thought process (Business #101 almost) if the current $60 million dollars doesn't accomplish the mission taxpayers expect to see accomplished with their tax dollars.
BTW ... If you're only looking for folks to post here on V.V. that will simply agree with everything you say, rather than have a robust discussion on the issues, and even offer (GASP!) opinions that are fundamentally different than your own ... please do let me know.
