At 17 minutes in you ask what do I think about if they made a law so they could just take them up and take them somewhere. Plain straight like that, they could not get by with it in America. But there are workarounds. If they were offered free fentanyl, no guarantees about quality, the same stuff they get now, and a free meal of some cheap kind, but more than and better than they now get. Also offer them a free spot on asphalt or concrete with some kind of roof, plywood, and put this place far in the countryside, it might begin to work. Free food, free fetty, free spot with roof; that'll go a long way. Offer it with a contract signed and fingerprinted digital. with a promise of no investigation of warrants except for murder or some heinous crime, don't worry if you have a warrant for 9 dui's and escape or owe an ex a lot of alimony. It won't be reported. Now this place in the countryside needs services like any unincorporated community. Just make it like 200 acres. Lots of thin inexpensive asphalt, some concreted areas. Needs some convenience stores. A check cashing place. A bus that comes and goes a few times a day. A dispensary place or 2 or 3. A fire department. Water, and water spigots. free sodapop and snack food places, day old bread, day old donuts, protein bars, coffee. Some folks might qualify to work at these places. Have a rehab place with an actual building to live inside if they want to try reducing. A few ambulances. Just off the place should be a precinct of police who only appear if called, and do a once a day drive thru. Some ground rules easy to follow. Folks divided by number 1 thru 7 to pick up trash once a week so trash gets picked up every day... a moral to develop that make less trash and to use the many trash cans if possible. This community will need the infrastructure of electricity, and a power outlet at each "spot". Spots can be of different sizes for 1, 2, 3, 4, and a few bigger ones. A manager with authority of some kind to sort minor problems such as someone who might have a car wants it parked nearer to his or her spot. Stealing to be prohibited, but it'll happen because theft is their present economy. It is in some places for sure, such as in san francisco. But if someone has a real problem of something stolen, it should be required to return or replace it. The manager and police can make appointments for persons to go to a justice of the peace court. Court held once a week for somebody keeps stealing, they go to county lockup for a short time, and probation requires the person to wear prison garb during that time, and must not leave the community until probation is over. See, these people need to be decent persons as most try to be anyway. There could be sessions provided for folks to learn basic things. Public showers, public toilets, park bench tables, safe places to go to use those drugs. So many more details, but there should be at least one of these places in most every county, county run with funding by county, state, and federal, plus donations. Oh yea, there should be a donations facility with a thrift shop of free and inexpensive stuff. So yea, I think something like this might be nominated as one kind of solution. Something like this.

[@Deepviewmedia]

That almost sounds like prison with work release or something. I like how it sounds though. Thank you for your comment

[@robertmonroe7168]

Yeah. Our people are still waiting for that 40 acres and the mule. !!

[@YourSexyPimp]

Up to 1965 or so they used to have work farms in most counties. County work farms had mostly unemployed persons who were offered to live on them, plus some who were bankrupt. I see this as similar, except modernized for the realities of drugs and the sh.. that goes on these days that didn't in 1948. Another workaround is partial: They used to have large mental institutions, several per state, until Reagan shut them down saying they were too expensive. I think shutting them down is more expensive. The shouters, paranoid, very low iq'd, and other types would be better off taken care of institutionalized. Some of these places were actually beautiful college like. Napa and Eldridge are two examples. What percentage of homeless would qualify for these places, I don't know, and experts would need to define the protocols. But mental institutions would certainly reduce the numbers homeless by itself. They could be run much better than those old ones, giving much more dignity to the patients. Doping them up and lobotomies no longer done.

Give everyone living on the streets a large plastic garbage bag, a pair of disposable gloves. For a full bag of garbage, they go to a redemption spot, the garbage bag gets dumped in a huge container, and then they receive a new bag and gloves, along with food and toiletries, etc. Sounds simplistic, but it's a start in instilling care for their surroundings.

[@zenqi4121]

It’s a great idea for support already. And plenty would probably make the effort. they are idle in the head but not to the point of not understanding what is vital for their own very modest comfort and the dilapidation of their life. Let's hope those who are at least not addicts to begin with (some of whom we didn't have to force much) get out of this shit. And to drug addicts to stop their stupidity. Some are doomed: it is too late. Sony too busy

[@johnkoury1116]

I went to Pharmacy School in West Philly before I went on to get my Master's and PhD. in Chemical engineering. I remember how it was right before it was cleaned up. People used to run up to your car if you even drove through there. It is a lot more safe and clean from what I can see. I still have friends who live in North Philly and I drive through there. It is definitely safer. I do not see as many people all over the place. To me it seems like everything is in much better shape. I remember what you were saying about people being down near the tracks like that. Excellent camera work my friend!! Really crisp and clear images. You really give that area a good feeling despite the sadness and homelessness. I always try and keep a handful of dollars and fives in case I see someone who is begging. It takes either a complete breakdown of any pride and be on your last good graces or to not care but either way I am going to help one of my brothers or sisters who are stuck out on the street. I do believe that in the whole scheme of life that helping others is one of our biggest responsibilities. Maybe I helped that person for a day or a couple days but at least I did something.

[@missymoon2831]

I don't think anyone "chooses" to be in that situation. Life is hard, and no one is perfect and sometimes we make bad choices. The world would be a nicer place if we chose to help people who are less fortunate. Love and respect from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿xx

I don’t think so either but they do decide to do the drug that they know will cause you to end up like this.

[@missymoon2831]

@Deepviewmedia thankfully drugs missed me by a mile, I grew up in the 80's with the rave scene and ecstasy...I live in a block of flats and we had a "drug house " ...it left a neighbour wanting to take her own life because of the issues and I'm on medication because of the problems it caused, but I will always extend my hand to offer help no matter what, I am not a perfect person, we all have our struggles as human beings. Life is hard for everyone right now and we just need to be kind.

[@Deepviewmedia]

@@missymoon2831 I agree and thank you for being such a nice person because the world really needs more of that. It’s just I feel people need to be held accountable for their actions not blaming everyone else. You made a good decision not to deal with it and you were aware of the drug spot in your neighborhood. Probably peer pressure also. Most people had that same choice. Most of us started recreationally and others have different things going on in their lives. I really get it. My mom has been a crack addict since I was a kid and I’m now 48. Just don’t blame the government or anyone outside of your self except for maybe a situation where someone was actually taught as a child to do drugs. Other than that it’s your fault. Basically make better decisions.

Thanks for the update after the clean-up. I watched the clean up video and it was very amazing, but this situation is one that needs to be on the forefront every day every 2-3 days, every week ... because they will come back and start camping again. The city needs to assign a Kensington Ave team to patrol and clean up / up keep the neighborhood. I do wish that most of those individuals get help to stay sober and move away from such a devastating addiction. Once the area stays clean businesses will begin to move in and invigorate a neighborhood that has so much potential. I believe some of them can be paid to clean up the area and they may become proud of keeping it clean. 🙏🙏🌼🌼

First of all, a littering law: jail and $300 fine must be imposed and enforced. Second, after arrest and interrogation, detox and rehab opportunity or jail or mental asylum. Repeat all instances and let courts manage. I am not a person that likes to be mean to people, I like to see people happy including addicts. I used to be one. No littering is a part of getting clean (punt intended).

[@GoHARD99]

You say you're an ex addict but saying people should be jailed for littering?you would not have room in the jails and you also have to arrest non addicts who litter.what you do is have them clean the streets as punishment community service cleaning the streets should be the sentence

[@hesedken]

@@GoHARD99 Government can make more jails. They can also interrogate the new prisoners and see if they need to go to a detox/rehab. If an addict repeats too many times, jail with no opportunity for detox/rehab must be the consequence. Deterrence is part of rehabilitating a fallen society. Condonation and neglect is death morality; proper government response and sobriety promotion is life advancement.

I've watched videos about addiction in other countries and they also have areas like kensington they are just well hidden. People have to realize if you have an addiction you can only get clean if YOU WANT TO. They can force people into treatment but as soon as they get out they are going back to what drug they want. The old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink is very true. You can't force a person to get clean unless they want to. As always you provide an overall picture of the issue not just one section of Kensington 😊I made it 💯

Historically laws around prohibition and criminlization have not worked. It further entrenches a black market and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is a multilayered issue that involves mental health care, housing, substance abuse assistance, education, employment, etc.

[@Deepviewmedia]

I agree

[@belle6219]

Anyone receiving any of that assistance needs long-term supervision and support. Like an AA sponsor relationship, but trained, paid, and well-connected with social services.

I really do appreciate your update and you stand aware of what’s going on and keeping us people aware what’s going on in the city and I really do hope that the mayor keep her word and make sure that that area stay clean. I really hope that they make these people help or arrest them. Take them off. The streets is always been help out there. They just don’t want it. People just wanna get high and they have to get rid of the drug dealers.

That won’t work. Where there is demand there is supply. Y’all need to stop the demand. That starts at school when your young. So I would say bring way more awareness at school. I live in Amsterdam we had a heroin epidemic in the 80 til 2000. They cleaned the city up and brought education in schools and all kinda projects
