Culture critic – and Fort Greene resident – Touré writes an essay in today’s Times about his experience renting an apartment directly across from what he deduced was a crack house on S Oxford St. He noticed that when people passed dollar bills through a window of the house, a bag “filled with something white” soon landed on the sidewalk. Touré writes about his ambivalence about calling the cops. But he made up his made when he moved out and bought an apartment a few blocks away. The cops’ response about this complaint from a concerned homeowner? Email the commissioner. Touré says the crack house is still “chugging along.” Maybe the commissioner will be reading the New York Times.
