I understand where your concerns arise from, but I would like to refrain from being too reactive toward recent events. For there to suddenly be a constant presence like that within their neighborhoods could be perhaps even more threatening to them. I would not fault them for thinking of us as invaders with ill-intent at that point regardless of the goodwill we have developed with the garden and discussions of this project.
Thus, while it is wise for something to be in place at night after work for the day has come to its conclusion, it is best that we otherwise rely upon the City Guard until the need for it is identified.
And even then, I would hesitate to take that step before considering alternatives. This is as much a delicate exercise in diplomacy as it is anything else. I would not want to provide anything that could be misconstrued as aggression unless it were absolutely necessary.
