I just wanted to post an update regarding the area near the Crest Shopping Center in South Oak Cliff (
link). Since the drug houses along Crest Avenue were demolished, violent crime has virtually been eliminated. The area reports one break in of a storage shed, and nothing else since the summer. Previously, the corridor was held hostage to drug houses and vagrants.
When you get rid of drug houses, crime goes down. Way down. For the naysayers, there you have it.
UPDATE: The Mayor just said tonight that at least five more drug houses will be served papers in the next few days. They are chronic offenders of drug laws and will be sued and the houses taken.

how do we report known drug houses in our neighborhoods? if you call 911, they ask you to somehow "prove it." when, in reality living down the street from one and seeing the activity is the real "proof."
