Kensington Philadelphia Drug & Crime Problems
Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem. The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas.1 Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015.2 A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensington.
Because of the high number of drugs in Kensington, the neighborhood has a drug crime rate of 3.57, the third-highest rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia.3 Like a lot of the country, a big part of this issue is a result of the opioid epidemic. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed over the last two decades in the United States and Philadelphia is no exception. Along with having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% percent of Philadelphia’s overdose deaths involved opioids2 and Kensington is a big contributor to this number. This Philly neighborhood is purportedly the largest open-air narcotics market for heroin on the East Coast with many neighboring residents flocking to the area for heroin and other opioids.4 With such a high number of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have zoned in on this area to try and tackle Philadelphia’s problem.
I never in a million years thought that a place like this existed in America. It's like zombie land.
It’s a shame because America is the land of opportunities.
@@vripper2678 opportunity does not mean 100% successful. Only that the opportunity is present and available
lol look at downtown la, Nyc, Dallas, san francisco & numerous more
Guess you never heard of skid row in Cali
@@vripper2678 land of opportunist, not opportunities
as a person from "3rd world countrys" , ROMANIA, you never see this state of decay here... it is really sad and mindblowing, wow.. this world is just getting out of control.. scary
That’s the land of the free and the home of the brave! This is why the rest of the world refuses to be like America
I guess tunnel junkies and sewer kids don't count lol
Why do you call yourself a 3world country??!!! This is an imperialistic word that comes from people the same people that destroyed the world..
@@MrAlshallal more like land of the polluted and home of the crackheads. Alaska, Texas, and probably Tennesse must a bit better I guess
Yea America is the home of the free alright.. a little too free!!!
One of the saddest videos I have ever seen. I cannot imagine living or working in that area and seeing this everyday. Total Madness.
Imagine delivering, growing a baby for years.. and then he ends up in the streets, a useless drug addict that the world does not care about, this makes me so sad..

Omg their drug epidemic is absolutely horrendous. Have never seen this in first person but bet it would humble me and make me realize how precious life is
It certainly does humble you.

For real! How could anyone let it get this bad? Makes me wonder how many people actually care for their city!?
This shit ain't nothing new. Hell Skidrow been like this since the early 80s.
Kensington has always been like this
It's sad how fast someone can go from having their life together to living out there.
Here in Latin America our countries may be called "shit holes" but you don't find cesspools like this here only in the USA.
That's because your countries basic gross national product is the shit,that provides your EVERDAY living,to send over here,ran and controlled by the cartels who run the nations,And could in no way send that shit here,if not being in ca-hoots, with people HERE!!!!!!!---
That's because you sorry Bastards bring the drugs they use over here so shut the fuck up
Where garbage is produced,it will STINK-Those who produce and provide poison to other humans,are far lower than those that they provide it to.SCUM---!!!
That cannot be true because i heard an interview from aclady from Puerto rico i believe anyway latin america called crystal on APL films channel and she mentioned the drugs were worse there and looks like ppls flesh is open wounds i am paraphrasing what she said so its not word for word but i find it hard to believe there are not cesspools there in some areas even in Saudi where i grew up partly there is a drug problem to a degree in some areas , even though the punishment for selling drugs is death.
Thank you for showing the reality that the media does not show, a big greeting from Buenos Aires Argentina !!!
Reality alright but he’s not helping he’s getting money for this shit.
Aparentemente la justicia y politica de philadelphia (EE.UU en general) no tiene intenciones de terminar con el narcotráfico......seguramente no es una tarea facil, pero por lo menos tendrían que dejar de hacer marketing con el tema, porque muchas personas aqui en Argentina lo compran.

It kills me that some of them are wearing masks, as if they are concerned for their health.
I was thinking that exact same thing,
A total eye sore... Who knows, Maybe masks are for drug longer, you need a life to enjoy drugs right?
For real!
They probably forgot they were even wearing them
They're wearing masks to conceal their identities because they're drug users and drug dealers. The pandemic is just a convenient cover.
When I was a little kid, my biggest dream was to live in USA. I watched a lot of sitcoms like "I Carly" "Drake and Josh" etc. Those series was creating my vision about that country. After those years I'm really glad that USA it is not my homeland.
If you don't have money, you can't do nothing. This place is like third world dressed in fancy suit.
Imagine these sitcoms and movies are shot in studios too. It really is just that TV.

It is like any other place in the world you have to work to make your life better from yesterday. Most people don't appreciate the next day that shall come since they lose hope and fall victim alcohol drugs or the worst one of them all depression, you must be asleep to believe the american dream
These are homeless & drug addicts .
Stop watching sitcoms & travel a little .

It was in past, right now I know that USA is a country, that is standing only on a dollar. Now I know, that people can make a lot for a couple of dollars and that "American dream" is just a fictional theory. I never was in US, but I'm sure that in the future I would travel there only for a sightseeing, nothing more.
this saddens me so much 10 years ago my cousins owned a diner in Kensington and it was not this bad but they had to close it due to how bad it got seeing this reminds me of all that I should be thankful for
So many places are getting bad because of drugs. I live in a small city in Canada and I know of one restaurant in my local downtown area that had to close because the drug addicts were just hanging around outside, so no customers wanted to go in.

In the 60’s my friends and I would walk to K and A from Port Richmond to go to the stores to look around, grab a pretzel or go see a movie at the Midway. We weren’t even teenagers yet and it was safe and our parents didn’t have to worry. We would even take the El to Center City by ourselves. I’ve been out of the area since the 70’s and in shock about what it has become. It’s surreal... wow.
What the hell are the government of that country doing? How could they let their people live like this.. so sad to see..
All democratic cities in America are shit holes!
In the 1960s K&A, Kensington and Allgheny avenues was a pleasant, clean working class shopping area. This is heartbreaking.
My dad would talk about Kensington Ave growing up. It was beautiful. Walking the Ave with his mom, and all the stores, bakery’s. If he was alive and saw this it would break his heart ❤️

@@louiecosmi3611 i have two eyes when i see the difference of blue and red big cities
@@rightwingweeb7832 Literally no such thing as a red big city. Every major city in the US, even Salt Lake City in uber-conservative Utah, is blue. And most of them have drug-laden areas. And it's honestly not hard to figure out why. Large population in a close area = perfect market for drugs and cartels. Salt Lake City, the closest you can get to a red major city (still for sure blue) has a major meth and opioid crisis on its hands. This isn't a red vs. blue issue. it's just where the drugs tend to flow because of population size
It's sad especially when you realize it's a never ending loophole with people growing up in that area. I imagine not many survive this shit....
I plan to go on vacation to the US especially East Coast (NY, Boston, Philly, etc) as a solo traveler. But my mother doubted it, and she showed me this video. I was thinking I have a bad neighborhood in my city. But honestly after watched this video, this goes beyond where I live. It’s so sad to see that, and I hope the government pays attention to taking care of the Kensington area.

@@davechristian7543 We have this situation due to decades of despair.
I’m confused and have so many questions. There are so many levels to this. Level 1: Why is the city so dirty, like an excessive amount of trash all over the place. I have never been to Philly, does Philly have a trash collecting problem or it’s just concentrated here? Level 2: this is broad day light and people are comfortable to just shoot up openly, like it’s nothing. Level 3: people are walking around or just passing the addicts like it’s nothing, while they take drugs openly or look like a zombie bent over, which means it’s normalized so clearly it’s been happening for quite a while. Level 4: is the state doing anything about this? I saw more than one ambulances parked up in one of the frames, are they on standby in case someone over dose? And if there aren’t enough problems here comes level 5: the crime scene. This is a heavy heavy heavy video.
Because it is Allowed.
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea it was this bad.

There’s a city called Frankford? That’s hilarious. Frankfurt is a huge city here in Germany. Guess some German guys founded this city back in the days. Ironically Frankfurt is the drug hotspot in Germany too
@Miami Heat nahh. It’s the financial hotspot of Europe. The city has dangerous areas but it’s also one of the richest cities on earth so not a whole shithole^^
@Miami Heat that’s not the whole city haha. You should go back sometime it’s actually pretty awesome. I guess you could compare it to LA. There’s a lot of dangerous areas there too but then again it has it’s nice sides too.
@Miami Heat haha yeah no Germany isn’t only tall blonde girls xD
But the professional and high quality thing is actually true^^
This is the saddest thing I have seen. The great USA for all the world to see. I have watched many many similar videos taken in many towns and cities in the US and it’s a problem that’s out of control.
Its expensive to be poor here. Alot of systematic racism too. Lots of people never have the chance to escape poverty and turn to drugs
@@Veronica-kw2vj I can imagine that would be the case. When I first started seeing these videos I was shocked to see how much it was a problem across the states, I have watched short films in Vegas, Skid Row in LA and the Tweakers in Phoenix. The numbers involved is huge. Coming from the U.K. you have an image of the US but when you see all this it blows that image wide open.
At the end of the day you can’t help an addict who isn’t willing to help themselves. What’s depressing is if there are seriously handicapped people being alone out on the streets. Working in a hospital showed how some people will never change their way of life and some only use the government for their own benefit not to make true changes.
I appreciate your work to bring this to the public awarness.

Yes Sir! Kenney and Outlaw have everything under control. Nice clean streets they have in Philly too.
This has been a problem for years and it’s not a D or R issue. It’s a systemic issue. The country caters to the wealthiest of the wealthy and screw everyone else. Decades of wage stagnation, deregulation to the point of criminality, education system that’s crap considering the country spends 6% on education (k-12) and 60% on defense. The country spends more on defense than the 10 other developed countries combined. I’d argue we are no longer a developed nation and the numbers back this up.
Failed nation. Boomers literally looted this country and denied reality for decades ......now they want us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps lol. Tell it to the people who has several USEFUL degrees, working 2-3 jobs, who STILL can’t afford a place to live. Do you think that makes a person hopeful? Happy? Motivated?
You can do everything right and end up here. When you do everything you were supposed to do and still can’t get ahead then you got to ask yourself..........what is the point?

@@patleonardo1889 My uncle would point out the big line around the corner in the projects: " the "heron" must be good today". Ha!!!
I'm an addict so I understand heroin and opiates. What I don't understand is why does fentanyl make people hunch over like they tying their shoes. I know they are nodding but this is definitely a different nod. I started using opiates around 2003 and got clean in 2019.
Good for you. Stay clean bro!
I was wondering what drug make all these people fold. Now I know is the dangerous Fentanyl. Thanks for the info
Proud of you for getting clean!!
@@fonkamex yeah I've seen people hunch over like they tying their shoes and get stuck like that for 5 or 10 minutes. It's crazy to see
This is cruel. So many people just slumped over, fighting to exist. What do they think? What do they look forward to? Is anyone looking for them? Does anyone miss them? Questions that just sadden me
I had a friend (Shauna ) and after she stole thousands of dollars from me I could care less if she is dead! So yeah she did that and had three beautiful daughters but this is her life now as you see on here. So no one misses her !
the only thing they think about is the next Needle
I m from Serbia and my country is paradise for this :/ ...This is madness 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Somebody out the way getting rich asf no bs
Going to look up some real estate prices on Zillow for this area.
Let me know when you find out?
@@jasminecontreras7341 Nothing on Kensington itself....but 1-3 blocks off you can find fixer uppers for 40-80k.
I'm so glad I live a small town life!
Every second tells a story. So many people live like this inwardly--trapped, can't die, just decided to suffer and do anything to ease the pain... whatever it takes to get through the next second numb!
The do nothing approach is working wonders
@Wilhelm Rackman hakapaladonat and the government lets it go in unabated. Its going to get worse
@jim veit there is a solution, where do they get money from? I mean those addicts? Only drug dealing? I hope they dont get any social benefits, If they do, they way to fix this is pretty simple
@@DK-sk5lj prostitution or sex trafficking rings thats what they said or alluded to (the latter) on another channel where the man interviews them. Theres a really pretty woman, she looks like an innocent child to me in her face, and she does that and she has to give half her money to whoever is pimping girls, she gets beaten up too by some clients I watch these videos of these streets mainly looking to see if shes still alive and still there and she is.
Mogadishu looks a little wild.
Why on earth would anybody want to live like this or even live here.
I am from Europe Lithuania. We have these problems too, but God bless not like there in USA, this is scary 😨, this is like lost world, zombie land.
I remember when kensington was a respectable neighborhood
Thomas Kay - geez you must be old!. From what I've heard, it was always a bit of a hell hole, but nothing like it is now. How could the relevant authorities have let it come to this? They should hang their heads in shame!.
@@judywaddell6065 I remember it well as a kid in 70's
Good shopping district. Now the majority are closed. All that lost income and revenue for the city.
@@judywaddell6065
☠️💉💊🗡️ if you did your own research you'd see that every major democrat city is like this shithole as the Dems are crooked and corrupt and they do nothing to stop gangs, murders, drug dealing and homelessness and violence...Wake Up and stop voting democrat!! 👀👹🥵
I feel sorry for the normal people who live there having to see this on a daily. No way could i let my kids be raised there.
i agree but when kids see these videos they get scared n stay away from it knowing if they do drugs this is where they will end up
@@Amirgrg unfortunately a lot will end up there or other places like skid row or San Francisco’s tenderloin district simply because American authorities can’t keep drugs out of the communities.
They took over the whole area! Poor locals.
Are there even normal people living there??
These zombies took over the place.
where is DEA?
I like the guy with the orange shirt and off white pants. I think I will do that walk when I am at work or Walmart. Thanks for the video.
.can someone enlighten me about this place?.what happened to those people?
