@d9417feb @af82bac8 That's quite a story. I think that drug dealing may be invisible in some neighborhoods precisely because it's a white enterprise. I say that as someone who moved into my house in 1997, only to discover a few years later that there was a methadone house down the block, with dealers coming and going constantly and no one noticing. It all blew up — literally — when an apartment in the house blew up.

In the UK most incidents are places catching fire because of the hacked electrical wiring in Weed Grow Houses. Here's a small anecdote. a comedian who had recently returned from New Zealand said while there she'd spoken to someone about how Meth isn't as big a problem in the UK as it is elsewhere. The Kiwi response was "Yeah, that's because it involves COOKING!". Is our culinary barbarism THAT bad?! #EnglishProblems @af82bac8
