Drove past one on Venice yesterday that had 2 guards with bulletproof vests outside. Does that suggest a reduction in crime?

It suggests deterrence of crime. Banks have guards - would you conclude that putting a bank in a neighborhood increases crime?

It’s because of cash.....given federal stance it’s hard to bank conventionally

Some of these places may have 150,000 or more in cash on hand

I’m pretty familiar with the business in Los Angeles and you’d be foolish not to have security like. Brinks etc
