Burg, Pico/Robertson may be many things but crack infested it is not. Matzah infested maybe, but not crack infested. It is ground zero for the Hasidim, faux Jews like L-ke and other zealot Jews who wear heavy black coats, hats and clothes on hot summer days.
It is interesting that the same situation can have two completely different interpretations. L-ke will go to his grave thinking that having the shiksa Holly for a few months was the zenith of his life, while Holly will view the same few months as her nadir blamed on the demon grip of alcohol addiction.
