[@reefHW215]

[@kanenstuff]

They do of you jumped the boarder it's a problem.

[@josephjuba4797]

Excellent comment 💯. I ponder that same question all the time. It's true the people that do right get no acknowledgement

[@josephjuba4797]

And this is coming from a 12 year serene recovering addict

[@NicholasMancari]

[@yvonneplant9434]

Who cares?

[@636tone]

They are already back, check the Kensington live cams on here. It’s actually looking worse.

[@lamar3697]

They mayor came to Chicago

[@jarahkaren8074]

Nothing more annoying than watching people protest who most likely do not understand the incredibly complex, aeons-old issue of Israel and Palestine. To protest for either side displays a lack of understanding and information.

[@SamuelHendrix-kb8nn]

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.

[@ThomasRiosJr]

They be back this weekend sad just sad it be clean for a day or two

[@Intuitive1]

Let’s see what happens this time around. This isn’t because they care.

[@akhetcypresssage2580]

Oh really 🤔 I saw folks there on live last nite! At least teach these folks how to.clean up after self! Atp do they really want to get off the street if everyone is saying help is there!

[@akhetcypresssage2580]

🙄 Millions of $ to line the greedy folks bank accounts again! And didn't they do this last year? I do feel bad for the people having to live like in a Zombie land smh!

[@WEALLWEGOT1325]

[@Vrillon2025]

Its like mopping up dirty water with a dirty mop

[@lastingbeauty7416]

[@Legatus2kx]

So the city just cleaned up the hotel for the drug users, they can now come back to a freshly cleaned floor for their tents.

[@pabloadame6060]

[@the1zar]

[@jojogurl83021]
