 | So apparently the police have driven the dope dealers from the streets of Brixton. Good news, and to be celebrated across the land. An end to the tide of lawlessness sweeping the nation.
Well. Hmmmm. Yes and no....
No more dope dealers, because the increased persecution combined with the small profit margins make it not worth their while. Crack dealers, on the other hand, have higher profit margins. They are more aggressive. Because the penalties for getting caught are so high, they are prone to edginess and violence. Suddenly, previously pleasant bits of Brixton are becoming very unpleasant.
There is, it seems, only one solution.
City planning to encourage marijuana sellers to flow back into the area, raising property prices and fighting crime.
Nice.
Top one.
Sorted.
