The young people ( under 40 or so ) watching this Kensington "cleanup" probably never watched the Sylvester Stallone "Rocky" movies, but they're a good visual reference. I'll explain... Rocky was filmed in 1975. The last true film of the story, Rocky Balboa, thirty years later. Both ( as were the films in between) featured Stallone's former home: the Kensington District. In the 1975 film, you see Philly for what it was: "Filth-adelphia." The 70s was a bad time for Philly. Out of control crime ( from lower level street crime to organized crime). Graffiti ( tagging ) covered EVERYTHING ( even trash cans and newspaper boxes). Worst were the endless trash collector union strikes that left corners, sidewalks, alleys, etc covered with piles of garbage that could hit 5 or 6 feet high mounds, and weren't much better when the City Sanitation WAS working. The filth you see in Rocky was real. Kensington was the worst. Rocky 2 was filmed, i don't remember, 1981??? Kensington looked worse. Changes in city leadership had no effect, despite trying. By Rocky 5 Kensington looked worse than downtown Baghdad in 1991. Seriously, Kensington looked like a demilitarized zone, and you didn't DARE go down Kensington Ave after dark unless you had a death wish! Notice in Rocky Balboa, 2005, Kensington is even more destroyed than in the 90s. You'll see the very same shops, and row houses " Rocky" lived at, had become burned out shells and crumbling rubble. It's hard to believe rats could live there, let alone people. My point? In the 49 years since the filming of the original Rocky, Philly Mayors and Councilors have tried to "cleanup" Kensington, and improve its quality of life. IT CANT BE DONE! All of this is just the usual election year publicly stunt. A better use of the taxpayers money? GIVE UP, put a wall around the whole district, offer the home and business owners aid in relocation. Then for "humanitarian sake," convert a building to a rehab. Then let NO ONE in or out from dusk till dawn, and let follow its course until there's nothing left, bulldoze it, and start over.

Great, now what neighborhood will they go next? Upper class?😅

Let’s hope. They should move in with the mayor. I’m sure she has plenty of extra bedrooms in her McMansion

This street/area is a shining example of what good enforcement can accomplish.

It will take a comprehensive long term overhaul to make a real difference. The entire city needs this, being honest. Best wishes to all. ❤

Instead of these non profits and community orgs criticizing the efforts why not support the at least little good that is happening? Did they forget that these people and camps are negatively affecting the law abiding citizens that pay taxes in the area? Don’t just point out the negative without acknowledging the positive

@CerciRodriguez Ай бұрын

The law-abiding citizens that pay taxes in area are going to be in the same boat as the addicts. They're going to be priced out and pushed out to NE with the addicts. This is not about making it better for the residents and business owners, it's about making it better for developers and yuppies.

@@CerciRodriguez but that’s what everyone say “help” but what does that look like? If you allow Kensington to exist as is it just attracts more people from all over to it. You need to break it apart and work on the smaller populations that are more manageable
