The new thing in pot growing is “Hidden in plain view”. You will find, probably on youtube, plenty of examples where they took a very nice house and turned it into a greenhouse. Thought being “why would anyone look in a nice nieghborhood?”. I am sure you can find the same for meth. But in all of these case there was no one living at these sites. The people maintaining these places you come and go at night to keep exposure to a minimium.
Then again, if you tore out the old carpet the street value of it could be in the millions with the right connections!
