Who of you reading this can believe that drug dealers would be
allowed to openly, and in numbers, do business at 50th and Xerxes, or along
Lake of the Isles. Who of you reading this would believe that if half the
drug dealers from 26th and James or Knox were transplanted to Kenwood behind
the Guthrie they would be there even an hour?


This argument doesn't wash for me because, as I think I've stated before, drug dealing happens in a different way in the high rent districts. In New York City, it's internet ordering and home delivery (just like the pizza guy, but without advertising on the roof or the car). In Edina, Minnetonka, and Kenwood, it's private parties and the dealer delivers to the party just like a door-to-door salesman. Probably more than half our objections to dealers would end if the corner boys would adopt a different method of dealing. Rent an office or something? Only part of our objections lie in the dealing. Much more important is the activity ancillary to the dealing.
