A percentage goes to a black hole 🕳️….never to be seen again.
Yep 7.4 million of that money
lol right
True most will go to white holes
💸💸💸💸💸 bye bye money
Do you know how many times I’ve heard this? They’ll do a clean sweep and then it will go back to the same way.
It may work this time. Developers want to build more apts nearby...extending the Fishtown gentrification.
They won't do a thing with that money Kensington wil be dirty and dingy forever. Smoking mirrors... all they do is talk in Philly, no action.
That's nice the city officials and none profit groups get a raise. None of that money will go for what it's meant for.....
Lie after lie 🧢
Thank you skrilla!!! All because of you help is on the way 🤗
I’m a Philadelphia resident I need my cut too at least get back some of my taxes 😂
Yes the ridiculous amount of taxes that we pay but nothing to show in this chit hole city
Dont let them.control the money. Look at what theyve done with that City already. They need an oversight committee so no one steals any of it..
This is a waste of money. You guys are only using this money at this location because of the gentrification that’s going on there. The city uses this money for repairing this area but you guys don’t have money for more police on our septa trains on broad street where people are driving around without license plates. SMH then you wonder why police officers don’t live in Philly. Why council members don’t live in Philly. This is just sad.
Because most of the drug addiction are white use some for np
Democratic Party Freak Show what a Living Hell Hole!
Stop it what do politics have to do with it
@@vanessamckenzie9179 lol everything...
What happened to helping the addicts and getting them into treatment? Or moving them away from Kensington? What does this have to do with addiction? I don’t get it
Exactly I don't get it either
Think positive🙏 for Kensington Ave.
How about pay some of the home owners there that had to deal with the shit !
Often the residents believe they will recieve benefits from this sort of thing..Property taxes will go up .The very folks that want this will be pushed out after the smoke clears...And this doesnt clear over night..This money may clear them from one area..But they have to go somewhere...
Obviously they are there because the drug dealers are there …many neighbors know who are selling the drugs but don’t ever see that .
Interesting that they did this segment at the “silver bridge”
Back in the 50’s-80’s there were epic battles on the bridge they separated two neighborhoods. Those around back then surely remember.
It then became access for addicts to get down onto the tracks.
My grandfather lived there on water street up until the late 80’s.
Super hot mess of a neighborhood back then.
Let see. I hope they don’t put it in their pocket
How about paying for the methadone patients monthly bill
So none of the money I think that is barely enough for the most important clean up: A place for the addicts and homeless to go. More police to enforce this. They do it everyday near the tourist attractions, so it is feasible to do it. Concentrate on that, and the people will keep the streets clean. Then they can request more money for the residents to fix up their neighborhood.
🙄 Like pumping money into this is going to do anything . 🤔 How about JAIL. ! 😺
They ain't doing notthing for years !!!!!!!!!! To YEARS !!!!!!......... SHIT JUST GETTING WORSE
That has breadcrumbs compared to what they did and we all know that this is not going to impact anything just line the pockets of greedy politicians spring up for profit agencies that are there to help when all they do is facilitate the problem
Ok my question is will the taxes increase because the homes are fixed? And because the taxes may become higher will that cause displacement for those that own the homes? The whole area under the El and around has been seeing a revamp for sometime now, is this a bigger scam in the long run? Monies is being funded into the neighborhood, but is it going to the residents? I imagine over 10 year period they will continue to make unaffordable homes, taxes will increase and residents will be forced to sell. Yes Kensington will be cleaned up and parks/recs will be updated but it’s Gentrification really… can’t call it anything else but!
Just 7.5 million? That’s all?!
I’m sure this money will be used wisely 😂
Watch what happens..😅
YALL SHUT DOWN THE SAVAGE SISTERS.THEY WERE NON PROFIT
Kensington will never see a dollar 💵
But Cherelle Parker and Democrat friends sure will 😂
Bs u going spend da money 💰 Philly born n raise me yes but these free money full of crap parks rec centers they could not open the pools cause no kids wanted to be life guards kids scare to come outside n play
I’m sure the addicts will get housing to get high so the poor babies won’t have to see it. Did they mention any money go to the schools for new books and technology?
How much will
be used to rehabilitate the people on drugs ???
That’s where it all should go!!! It’s $$ from the opioid epidemic settlement from what I heard them say …Addicts are in these neighborhoods because they want to be close to the drugs …..so the people that sell the poison obviously live there too ….
But nobody says this why??because that’s why the addicts are there in the first place …but from what I seen their are businesses that opened on Kensington ave . It seems like take out food places , nail salons always will go into these run down areas especially when it’s so cheap cause nobody else wants to besides drug dealers or is that they know redevelopment $$ coming to area seems they always have a heads up in Philly . Just think about it.
Hahahahah only 7.5 millions , but make sure you give 60 billions to Ukraine
How about using most of the money to help people get off the drugs and off the street so they have a home.
They have homes . Some families offer to help etc… they still choose not to. And if they have a home it will only turn into a trap/crack house . More then half ain’t even from Philly
Lll
