If you lived next door to a house that had become a drug spot, would you find it acceptable to call the landlord, tell them what's happening, and then ask them to investigate and evict? I sure would.
- ibizaman 3y agoThe landlord, yes. The electric company directly, bypassing the landlord, probably not.
- pessimizer 3y agoWhy would you call the landlord instead of the police? I'll tell you why you needed to do it for this metaphor - because Kiwi Farms doesn't break any laws and "drug spots" do. Now, we're deputizing landlords. If that isn't the perfect public-private partnership, I don't know what is.

- cmh89 3y agoWho is 'deputizing' a landlord? The police are going to be much slower and ineffective in dealing with the problem than the landlord is, and why shouldn't a landlord take into consideration the effect their renters have on the neighbors in deciding who to rent to.
