It is a very interesting fact that Fulton Mall is the 3rd highest ranking retail area in the city based on average of rental price and sales volume -ranking behind 5th ave and madison ave. The argument is that LOCAL businesses such as the ones on Willoughby that were forced out for new developement were doing well and serving a customer base.

There is something you can do when you have drug dealers in your neighborhood. I know because I battled with one that set up shop next door to my apt in a building that we had past trouble with.
#1 Call the local precinct and report all activity. I used to call about two times a day. Keep a record of the call times and who you spoke with. Don't get frustrated they most likely will do nothing and be annoyed that you call but you need to do this to do #2.
#2 Call 311 and keep calling them. Report the incidents and calls to precinct. They will put you in contact w/ the narcotics investigation unit. These are the only people that actually do anything. It does take a while expect at least 1-2 months but they came down my street w/ a SWAT team broke down the door and took everyone to jail and the problem ended for good.
