OP-ED No place for drug dealers and slum lords

When landlords choose to rent their property to drug dealers in exchange for cash, they are making a short-term financial decision that has long-term negative consequences for the community. This practice not only damages the reputation of the neighborhood, but it also poses significant risks to the safety and well-being of residents.

This practice not only damages the reputation of the neighborhood, but it also poses significant risks to the safety and well-being of residents.

Landlords who prioritize immediate financial gain over the ethical responsibilities of providing safe and secure housing contribute to the erosion of the moral fiber of the community.
