The plaintiffs assert that the crowds of people engaged in drug dealing are so large that the streets and sidewalks of the development are unusable and that the crowds create noise and disturbances and litter the premises with drug paraphernalia. In addition, the plaintiffs contend that pervasive atmosphere of crime prevents them from leaving their apartments at night, from allowing their children to play freely around the developments, and generally from living peacefully and enjoyably in their homes. Both plaintiffs have experienced threats and acts of violence perpetrated against them and their families which they characterize as retribution *276 for their involvement in this lawsuit by those engaged in the unlawful drug activity.
