Regarding crack Macs- I have heard that one of the reasons there's not a 24/7 police presence there is they know the drug deals are going to go down; if they close that area down the dealers will simply move. So it's better to have a known section of town- that way us non-users know what area to avoid.
Not sure how much of that I buy, but it does make sense in a "police have given up" sort of way.
