I don't know where you're from, so I don't know how the police operate in your area. I'm a life-long USian. Everywhere I've lived in the US, the police absolutely do not perform regular patrols inside of people's homes. I can tell you from experience that if you don't have the drug deals happening out in the open, then the vast majority of them are going to happen in someone's home. As I mentioned, it's _way_ easier to keep an eye on things when you can funnel it to a relatively small, open area so you can just drive by and see it, than it is to go knocking on a couple-hundred (or even couple-thousand) doors across an entire metro area. And no, I'm not flagging your comments. I don't believe I've flagged any comments on this site, ever. If I disagree sufficiently strongly with a statement, I engage in discussion, as I have here and elsewhere.
