The complaints Lurie heard from a dozen or so business owners: it’s difficult and unsafe to park, homelessness has gotten worse in the city, the streets are dirty and tourism has yet to recover. They also talked about store theft, break-ins, and downtown store closures.

“He seems nice,” said Diane Tan, who opened New Fashion Boutique at 780 Jackson St. in 2002. Tan, who spoke in Mandarin, said this is the first time she’s seen and met Lurie in person. It’s also the first time she’s seen or gotten to talk to“I hope he can help us small businesses. I hope he can help us Chinese people here,” Tan added.Tan was not alone.
