Looks to me they have done what they set out do & it has a good chance of staying that way. The problem has just moved to the side streets.

The drug that causes them to become motionless is called Fentanyl! It’s a very potent synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than regular opioids! It’s used in medicine for acute pain relief when administered correctly! As a street drug, it can be sold as anything, heroin, cocaine, whatever the dealer wants to sell it as! Unfortunately for the addicts, they don’t find out until it’s too late! They fall asleep standing up. I’m amazed they don’t fall over as well!

@@joananthony6323 Kensington Avenue and the surrounding areas has always been a medium to long socioeconomic district. It has had a checkered past surrounding drug use, racial segregation and discrimination and very questionable government policies and leadership! That being said, in the 1950’s it was a thriving urban community with a mix demograph. The streets were lined with retail stores, restaurants, grocery shops and other small commercial businesses! As for employment, in the 1950’s Philadelphia was the hub of the US textile industry, and the Mills were located in the Kensington Avenue district! The community continued to prosper until the late 50’s to the early 60’s before manufacturing was taken off shore to save on costs! Since then, the district, the community and Kensington Avenue has slowly declined into what we see today. Rows of abandoned buildings, businesses and homes with the majority of the population now drug addicts, dealers and the homeless!

My glasses aren't doing me much justice these days 🤦🏽♀️A damned shame, if that's the case 😢 We've been having the same issues up here, in Montréal, since a lil before the pandemic started. It's a lot worse now. Instead of the addicts claiming a few métro stations (downtown), it's past the dt area, and up to 4 more stations have been claimed. I just found out that we have our version of Vancouver's East Hastings alley; ours is called Allée du Crack (crack alley; how original). It takes up a few streets By 2019, crack wasn't really crack any longer. I lost a dear friend in my life due to smoking what he thought was crack, then. There were traces of fentanyl in his system. He'd started smoking about 6 months prior to his death. I wish we could've seen the signs earlier. It's terrible how the homeless are treated, and there aren't enough resources or enough qualified workers to help them. This epidemic was amplified by the pandemic. It's fkn scary fr fr Keep doing what you're doing, spreading awareness 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I wish to do the same for the greater Mtl area, up here, eventually. There isn't that much of any up and close exposure here. We do deal with a lot of gangs de rues (street gangs), especially s@x trafficking. It's pretty fkn bad up here, too. It's mainly Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver - now Ottawa, too - that gets a lil more coverage on the fentanyl crisis Anyway, this shit's been up here for a minute.

I have to give them credit. It's 100% better than it was - at least visually. Every street this dude walked on was trash covered from building to curb. Don't see that here. Tents? Not here. Are a few stragglers in the area - sure. That's expected. But the concentration of people that have been in this three-five week zone is about 5% of what it was pre-cleanup. Do they need to do more? Absolutely. They need to get people to take over those empty businesses again. The tents at least used to hid the roll-down gates during the middle of the day showing how many of those businesses were no longer existing. I'm sure most people want 100% turnaround instantly . Things in the real world just don't happen that way. This is a huge win for the Mayor and the city. Now, if the degen's are now occupying a different area of the city and will turn that into the next Kensington - that would be a nil. No progress - simply maneuvering things for a political snapshot. They need to keep up with this - and not just for a month or two. It took about 2-3 years for K&A and the area to absolutely go down the drain. It often takes two times that to get it fixed again. Kudos to all involved and I really hope they stick with it.
@ronferguson96952 ай бұрын
I agree, Mayor Parker has achieved more in her first 130 days in office than previous mayors combined for decades! A key promise in her election campaign was to clean up Kensington Avenue which she has delivered. The addicts and homeless are gone and the trash has been removed and all the sidewalks have been pressure washed. It’s certainly a vast improvement and pleasing to see! But the community must also be realistic in their expectations as well! Cleaning the streets and moving the addicted and homeless on was the easy part. Now the real challenge starts, managing the problem in a sustainable way! A lot of comments focused on the fact many of the people have only moved around the corner and into surrounding streets, which is true, but the encampments are gone. This step was very important because Parker is now enforcing loitering laws. They are constantly being moved along by law enforcement officers, if they settle on the sidewalk, they are arrested! This strategy is the first step in managing the addicts! When they loiter they’re arrested, then they’re offered 30 days rehab or 30 days in jail it’s their choice! For those who choose rehab, during treatment they offered assistance to take advantage of all the government benefits and programs to aid them into recovery. For those who chose jail, they face withdrawal with prison based treatment! When they are discharged from rehab or released from jail, they can either choose to continue their journey to recovery or return to the streets. If they choose the latter, the cycle begins again, loitering, arrest, rehab or jail and release! Eventually they become overwhelmed with the cycle and start making better choices! The process has its limitations, but it’s another step in the right direction! As for Kensington Avenue, there’s a lot of talk about rejuvenating the whole area, council buy backs and redevelopment etc. I doubt it will return to its original status as a residential and retail hub but it will make some sort of comeback! Only time will tell!

Then do something about it, you keep voting Democrat in Philly, what changes? How about putting some fear into them and voting for another party to scare them straight so to speak. Until then they laugh at you and continue to have DAs who won't prosecute criminals, the drugs will keep flowing and everyone on KZfaq will whine and complain.

@@hettyphilips I understand your frustration and I agree, the community shouldn’t have to put up with it! Unfortunately drug addiction is exactly the same as any other addiction! Tobacco, alcohol, gambling and drugs are the top 4 social issues that have plagued society for thousands of years, and I promise you, things will never change! Of course they can be managed but there isn’t a silver bullet to solve the problem because humans are the ones causing the problem! Mayor Parker is laying the foundation for a better management system but it will take many months to see any progress.

@@bran1886 I agree, a change in state and local government would certainly throw a cat amongst the pigeons, but the likelihood of that happening is zero!Philadelphia has been a Democrat strongholds for around 70 years. The reason for this is simple, the voter demographic in the city is pro dominantly blue and the reds are out numbered! In saying that, newly elected mayor, although being Democrat, has certainly made her presence felt and is spearheading a campaign to clean up Kensington and the city’s drug problem! But the community needs to be realistic in their expectations. Drug use is a social issue which is created by a group of individuals (in) the community. This is why they can’t be solved, you can’t stop people from doing dumb shit! As I said earlier, I agree with you, the leadership certainly needs a good shake up and nothing meaningful will change until that happens! In my opinion, all levels of government need to take a more authoritarian approach to drug management in the country. Laws need to change, crime must not go unpunished and people should be held accountable! Their rights and freedoms removed until they are fit to return to the community as productive citizens! State governments should also be held accountable for every cent of federal funding received and should not be allowed to undermine Federal Drug Control. The November elections will be an interesting one. The Trump Administrations campaign has 15 pledges to solve America’s woes. These include immigration, drug trafficking, education reform, national guard management etc! If elected, the 2024 elections will be a defining moment in American history, and has the potential to change how the world views the American Nation, and its ripple effect will be felt for generations! Just food for thought 💭
