I was thinking the same. Now we have the added problems in Liverpool of easily found drugs.
I am going to get at least one of those books.

I don't see this in my neighbourhood but during the presidential campaign when I was going door to door in Pennsylvania I was in an old mining area in the Pocono Mountains one weekend. Mines were closed, work there ended years ago. There were broken alcohol bottles littered in the streets and empty cigarette packets. It was so depressing. I am sure we have these neighbourhoods in the Bronx and other parts of NYC, I have just never seen them. I do however work with the Red Cross (Have not been for ages, this thread is giving me a push to go back in) and the people who lost everything in tenement fires in the Bronx etc. seemed so used to it and empty. Red Cross trained me as a case worker (volunteer) and so I had to get all the info from them and allot them $300 each man, woman and child and whatever they needed but they went through it on 'rote'.
I have no answers, where there is poverty alcohol and drugs will always be prominent
