Neighborhoods with drug dealers are generally considered undesirable places to live. Imagine that.
If the guy next door to me likes to play loud music, I'll ask him to stop or call the cops. If people in my neighborhood drive too fast up and down the street, I'll ask them to slow down. If I suspect someone is dealing drugs or running a prostitution ring, you better believe I'd call the cops.
When I sell my house I'd like it to go for 10% more than I bought it, not 10% less.

100% agree. Not only that but now adays people don't even want to go speak with their neighbors about small issues like the music being to loud or the speeding up and down the road because they are afraid of being verbally attacked. which quite often happens now. So most people call the police because they just don't want to be the one singled out as the complaintant and have their house egged or vandalized because it pissed off someone that they complained.
