Blogs and message boards do work. A notorious "drug house"/"crack house" in Bay Ridge has finally been taken down after a couple of years' worth of message board and blog posts about it and its affect on the neighborhood. There were two house, actually, on 93rd Street. "Several more crack heads came out of 346 93rd street," one woman wrote last year, "and one was trying to steal a ladder while i guess another which i could not tell was male or female, who may have lived their claimed ownership to the ladder and they begain to fight."
