Like some other big-city ghettos, south central L.A. is infested with rock houses: also known as crack houses or base houses, they are centers of the new cocaine trade. Typically, a rock house is a rented apartment or bungalow with a reinforced steel door. The dealer sits inside with his drugs, taking money and doling out doses of crack through a slot in the door.
