[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop buying your smoke from the local sellers and then complain about the crime. There's no crime around the smoke store in brookland.[/quote]

The neighborhood crews might engage in casual drug dealing, but I don't think they make any kind of serious money at all and haven't in decades. Which is counter-intuitive, but there seems to have been a major shift. Like in the 80's/90's there were drug markets that supported a few king pins who became actually rich. I don't think anyone is getting rich from the neighborhood crews today. It's like only the violence is left. [/quote]

I feel like only a decade ago the guys on the corner would sell drugs, no one cared, and there weren't regular shootings.  [b]Now it seems like no drugs but just shootings.[/b]

Also, to the guy that had the friend get beaten into a multi-day coma:  F*ck.  That's horrible.  I hadn't heard about that one.[/quote]

It's definitely still drugs and also shootings.

When we were house hunting in 2015 we went to see a house right near this part of Brightwood Park (just on Illinois) and my DH wouldn't even go in to look at it because there were like 8 adult men lounging outside the corner store.  His attitude was all of these people should have jobs, and if they don't their chosen job is to destroy property values.  I thought he was being extreme but now we live about 2 neighborhoods away where there are not adult men loitering on the sidewalk and the steady stream of shootings in BP has made me think he was on to something.[/quote]
