You're not going to hear much about this story, because it was a crime committed by rich residents of some luxury apartments. If a homeless person had committed this same crime, you'd never hear the end of it.
Two men - a father and son - have been convicted of running a drug ring out of their luxury apartments in Cincinnati. The drugs included fentanyl, crystal meth, and cocaine. The apartments were in the Pendleton and Mount Auburn neighborhoods. These luxury dwellings were gentrification projects that drove out many of the neighborhoods' previous low-income residents. One of apartments cost $4,200 per month.
Federal court documents say the Pendleton apartment was "a major source of illegal narcotics in Cincinnati."
This is like how one of the richest streets in Southgate - a street where lots of right-wing politicians live - was known as the go-to place to buy heroin. The media of course never covered that.
Gentrification. Bringing drug lords to a neighborhood near you.
