I am responding to the "burglaries went away" statement. Nowhere have I claimed that the numbers couldn't have fallen. Your downvote (my assumption) is uncalled for.

That is entirely dependent on interpretation. Taking a comment saying "burglaries went away" at face value to mean ALL burglaries for all causes is just... diametrically opposed to any meaningful debate.

Its obvious that it means drug related burglaries went away, which is a claim we have fairly good evidence to support.
