How would you say this sentence?<br/><br/>1) Crime has affected as much the authority as our neighbours in this area!<br/><br/>2) Crimke has affected as the authority as much the authority in this area<br/><br/>Please, if you could help me, I'll be pleased! I've always had problems when trying to set quantifiers like "much" in middle of a sentence.<br/><br/>Thanks in advance
