Do you think a council person isn't going to involve law enforcement? There are many alternatives that can and will use law enforcement to get these people out of OP's neighborhood. Law enforcement obviously isn't the only answer, but an integral part of the solution. OP shouldn't be afraid of or ashamed to use them. And I am not some back the blue bootlicker. I do believe that cops cause a lot of problems more often than they should. But heroin and meth dealers have a special place in hell and should have every available resource used against them to take them down.

Edit: Please don't use a subreddit with less than 25% of the city's population as evidence for anything. That is highly anecdotal and truly means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Please stop telling OP to mind their business or suggesting alternatives that don't involve law enforcement. Selling heroin/meth is not a victimless crime.

Edit: No alternatives should be ignored but every solution should involve all available resources the city can offer including law enforcement.

Call your council person. They're elected to deal with these issues. Also use the 311 non emergency line to deal with the trash and the child endangerment. You keep calling, if you are friends with your neighbors, you have them call too. We had a similar situation with Romanis renting out a house on our block. We spammed 311 and had the landlord fined so many times he had no choice to but evict them.
