Cleanup of encampment on Kensington Avenue completed, but what's next?

[@zaybx3485]

They literally just moved around the corner no actual solution 🤦🏽

[@PBE86]

That's wat Ivd been told but Im usually in the area once a week...ill see for myself...

[@user-xs5so5rz6r]

Lol facts

[@Ummkelechi]

Are you serious? I haven’t been up there to see what is actually happening

[@KatrinaWall-qq2qm]

I give it a week before the homeless come back there. It will be the same. You can't fix a city wide problem that been going on for years.

[@t123tina]

They're not homeless junkies their drug addicts they have places to go they have places to live to homeless people does not sleep under the bridge there are addicts want to be closed by when they give out free blue bags. And drugs deal are live n the tent

[@yvonneplant9434]

Maybe not this time.

[@yvonneplant9434]

It's not citywide. 😅

[@Mr.White10-65]

Live cam confirms it took less than a week and they already came back in less than 24 hours. Go get em Philly.

[@emsj86]

They did this years ago just moved spot to spot. Before that they lived mainly under ground tracks or abandon houses. This solves nothing only makes things worse

[@robertchapman6795]

Expecting a visit from Xi ?

[@jimmycain8669]

Did y’all ever consider arresting them for their dope crimes?

[@jamesheggs6825]

being an addict is not a crime jimmy

[@phoenixman8569]

Civic leaders wont even consider this, they call it unethical to jail them or force them In to psychatric treatment against thier will, that's what's so wrong here, most are clearly not in thier right minds and cannot make the right choices, but leaders only seem to care about not taking away homeless peoples freedom and their right to choose, so again forcing them into state care against thier will is called cruel and unusual punishment. And leave it up to them to go to treatment themselves, dispite the fact they are so addicted and delusional they never will.

[@Robyn-mf3go]

Arrest for what 😂😂😂

[@VinnyCarwash-js8op]

That would be revolutionary!

[@VinnyCarwash-js8op]

@@jamesheggs6825 They are selfish criminals. They're not addicts, they are responsible for their choices.

I used to work as an Uber driver Some passengers take the train to the camden stop to buy drugs. I have seen more drug dealers than the cops. Many of the drug dealers hang out at the camden nj liquor stores. A few passengers have asked me for rides to the liquor stores but they don't buy liquor. I told them where is the liquor but no answer. I reported it to the cops but they rudely asked me for identification.

[@ToBeAnnounced2024]

I know what you mean. I had drug dealers living next door. Rent is expensive enough to have to deal with dangerous criminals connected to your walls. Even taking video of the traffic and usage. "Call crime stoppers".. they only want YOUR INFORMATION.. and no cop ever comes. I've been told the feds are "in on it". Drug dealers are protected.

[@Robyn-mf3go]

Camden? So you’re saying they go to Jersey for drugs?

@davidwang4364 thanks for calling me “kid”👌🏻

There is a ton of open land just west of the Berks EL station up to American St. Developers are wanting all of that land...including K&A.

[@diannh2894]

Right

[@ceo20561]

I'm excited that the mayor did her job and got the people out of there and the reason why I say that is that now that it's clean I will set up my barbecue grill and start selling rib platters starting at $50.00😊

[@jamesheggs6825]

$50 for food from kennsington😂😂😂😂

abandoned schools and churches...there are plenty!!!!!!!

Same as San Fran. They can clean things up anywhere they want. Developers came in…

They must have elected a republican to take care of it.

[@VinnyCarwash-js8op]

When you think this behaviour is okay, it will all come back and nothing will change.

[@emsj86]

They are not going anywhere. That’s why I say keep it down there. Before people stayed in abandon houses than they allowed them to come out just to shut it down again. Solves nothing

[@Timetravller1]

Did they move the homeless into the Roosevelt Hotel with the non Americans?

[@Robyn-mf3go]

Lincoln Motel😂😂😂😂

I hate to say it but an open drug air drug market gives Philly it's flare! If you want a clean city, go to some of these up and coming cities.
