Philly's Kensington: The Most Depressing Neighborhood In America

We drove around the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's a neighborhood that's been forgotten by the city.

[@dianekolbauer6680]

This was a great neighborhood till mid 70's. I was born and raised here from 1941 thru 1960. It was a great shopping neighborhood and people came from all over to shop. It was a Irish/Polish neighborhood and everyone knew everyone. Breaks my heart to see what has happened here. McPherson Square was our library. Knew neighborhood by parishes. Pitiful it has been let go like this.

this narrative is very american, now that the problem took such huge proportions," its never peoples fault", i guess in reality it is as much peoples fault as institutions fault for failing to do their job, that is regulating "pain medecine" and stopping the companies pushing these drugs into the street fro greed with no censequence (pill mills,un regulated "doctors" and "pharmacists"). But there is also a large part of responsibility on the population itself and the american terrible ultra liberal society model.

Pro tips for cruising in rough neighborhoods : always crack your window and turn your music off so you can hear your surroundings and if there’s two lanes always stick to the inside lane. While driving the inside lane always give yourself enough room behind the car in front of you so if you had to you could whip into oncoming traffic to get away from a bad situation if something happens.

[@carolharmon4638]

I was born and raised in Tacoma Washington. This city has changed so much. We have areas like Kensington like I imagine other cities have. Trash everywhere and homeless encampments too. They get cleaned up only to move to another place. Drugs is a big reason why but the high cost of living and ever rising taxes are alot of the problem. Government demands are rising faster than incomes can keep up with. Our priorities in this country are truly backwards. Also politicians with deep pockets.

[@GR-cf4qh]

I also live in Tacoma and they've been rousting the bums, (sorry, but I've got no sympathy left for them),fairly regularly lately. I think things are slowly getting better, but some of them are spilling out into the residential areas that never used to have a homeless problem. Murders aren't that unusual these days. We had a teenager murdered at a nearby bus stop a few months ago and there have been several murders near my workplace.

[@dopeMike_]

Wasn't like that in 2004 when I left I wonder what changed? I'm always baffled by the obvious.

[@GR-cf4qh]

@@dopeMike_ It's mainly the encampments. They started to get bad around six to ten years ago, but during covid they stopped clearing them and things got really bad. They're clearing them out again now and I think that things have gotten a little better, but to a large extent they're just playing whack a mole. I think that any real improvement that we're seeing comes from them deciding to relocate to Seattle or Olympia in order to avoid the sweeps.

[@lrn_news9171]

@@GR-cf4qhYeah they move to cities that are more generous with them.

[@GR-cf4qh]

@@lrn_news9171 And things have actually changed for the better here in just the last couple of months. The police have been much more aggressive about clearing encampments and have been placing barriers, boulders, fences etc... to keep them from coming back. I'd guess that in just the past couple of months 75% of the homeless have moved on to greener pastures. It's a noticeable change and not one that I thought could happen so quickly. Of course they're probably all in Seattle, Olympia, Portland or are just camped out in less visible locations, but Tacoma seems much cleaner and safer than it did just a few months ago.

I've long since seen the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Art Museum, the Rocky Statue, rode both the Market-Frankford and Broad Street SEPTA rapid transit lines through their entirety - all of this mostly well over 15 years ago...

@Henry Horner - Sounds right... The Northeast Region was the first in the US to unionize as far back as late 19th Century, depending upon the trade, industry, and the area... Much more wound up quite unionized all through WW1, Prohibition, the Depression, and WW2... It was after that when companies first started moving down South to bust the unions and their influence .. That only bought companies 30 more years, depending upon the area and industry, and still the unions found them and returned, right where they left off!... After that, came the massive shift in outsourcing and offshoring to ultra-cheap labor areas such Mexico, Central America, Parts of South America, and need I add - Asia!! --- And here we are - or rather, _AREN'T!_

I live and own a home here in Kensington, Oh yes it's bad out here... The city of Philadelphia has raised property home taxes 31%... recently, though it will go in effect in the fall. A year ago the very streets you driven had no speed bumps, those were put in within the last 6 months to a year ago. Allegheny & Kensington Ave El station train stop is heated with addicted & homeless population destroying the so-called safety we residents see everyday getting on those trains. The El train i catch 5 days a week to my comfortable job in Center City is horrible! I call it the homeless express. I work evening shift.. when I leave work to get on the El back to Kensington, it's like the movie (Escape from NY) literally that horrendous. The addicts do not pay fairs, the hop the pay centers and ride Septa for FREE, while i pay almost 100 buck per month to see these folks smoke do drugs in the trains. Oh to add, those folks below the EL are dipping, High as f@ck... those poor souls are aimlessly in a euphoric sate... you'll see in the train littered and the train stops along the way... it's bad.

North from Kensington on Kensington Ave, you first go thru Juniata, then Frankford. I grew up in Frankford. At Kensington and Adams Ave. About a mile north of K&A. I used to work at K&A back in the 80's at a Rite-Aid which was three doors from the corner. Ive seen these videos of what its like now and I'm shocked. K&A was an outdoor shopping mall and people were always walking up and down Kensington Ave. doing their shopping, etc. It was never a great neighborhood but it was never this bad. It's appalling that the city has allowed it to get this bad. I moved to NC back in 1991 and ive been here ever since. I have no reason to go back.

[@tamedshrew235]

It is untrue to state that recovery services are not offered or available to addicts because they are. Ask any Kenzo addict if they can get into recovery and they will say "yes, but im not ready." What the city does not offer is free housing outside of the shelter system and without completion of a recovery program. It is also untrue to suggest Kensington does not have full time residents. Many are new immigrants of Hispanic origin who are hard working homeowners trying to realize the American dream like their European immigrant predecessors. And since Kensington is proximate to I95 it has become a distribution point for drugs attracting addicts from up and down the East Coast, the majority of whom are white working and middle class. Lastly, its Philthadelphia not Philthydelphia.
