Philadelphia's most dangerous street.
Problems with Drugs and Crime in Kensington Ave, Philadelphia
In Philadelphia as a whole, violent crime and drug abuse are major issues. The city has a higher rate of violent crime than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas. The drug overdose rate in Philadelphia is also concerning. Between 2013 and 2015, the number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50%, with more than twice as many deaths from overdoses as homicides. 2 Kensington's high crime rate and drug abuse contribute significantly to Philadelphia's problems.
Because of the high number of drugs in the neighborhood, Kensington has the third-highest drug crime rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia, at 3.57. The opioid epidemic has played a significant role in this problem, as it has in much of the rest of the country. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed in the United States over the last two decades, and Philadelphia is no exception. In addition to having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% of Philadelphia's overdose deaths involved opioids, and Kensington is a significant contributor to this figure. This Philadelphia neighborhood is said to have the largest open-air heroin market on the East Coast, with many neighbors migrating to the area for heroin and other opioids. With such a high concentration of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have focused on the neighborhood in an attempt to address Philadelphia's problem.

As a person living in the Netherlands, I have never in my life seen anything like this anywhere. The USA needs to get its stuff in order because this is inhumane. Why is the US government not taking care of this? Do these people not count and do they not deserve a normal life? Invest more money in social support systems and insurance policies that make mental health treatments free, addiction treatment free. Build and provide proper social housing (but *proper* social housing like in Netherlands where economic demographics are mixed to prevent poverty-ghetto's from forming). If a country can send 77 billion USD to fund a war overseas, you'd think it has the money to restructure its social support systems for its own citizens. Sickening!! Poor people.
I believe that the left-wing and corrupt political policies of the American Democratic Party are causing this. Left-wing politics pays lip service to nice things, but in reality, they are power-oriented and will fight by any means necessary to gain power.
Excessive border-opening policies that seem to intentionally worsen domestic security, abnormal reductions in police personnel, granting voting rights to illegal immigrants, etc.
We are doing As a result, public order deteriorates, shops are looted and closed, people lose their jobs, and become poor.
Don’t you get it… Democrats are intentionally destroying America. They’re evil. Greedy. Corrupt. They want complete control of the world by dismantling America from a free republic to a controlled one world government where the elites own ALL even you. This is much bigger than just America. Besides, a government big enough to give you everything is a government big enough to control you with it. No thx.
Treatment IS available, the addicted has to want it and seek it out. All Time Media interviews the homeless, they have chose that life.
รัฐบาล ไม่มีคุณธรรม
Ce sont des victimes.programe de réduction de la population mondiale. C est fait exprès un pourri de politiques disait qu il fallait nous empoisonner pour réduire le cheptel
Listen, I'm a resident and public servant of this city. The root cause of the "homelessness in Kensington" IS because of the opioid addiction. Many of these people left upper to middle class families after falling hard into this addiction and ended up in Kensington. These people have health partners free state issued medicaid choose to be on the street by their dealers. Affordable housing projects and shelter is available in Philadelphia. OPIOID ADDICTION is the root cause of this video, not this other nonsense narrated. Please have your narrative corrected. Thank you, and pray for those souls to seek recovery. I don't know who wrote this WOKE manuscript, but I'm going from life experience as someone who serves here daily in the thick of it
agree with everything you said until the pray part.
I grew up in Philly. This area used to be a working class Polish/Irish area.Kensington Ave was a business street. I bought my first kitchen set at a store on K and Somerset St 40 years ago. Rocky’s home was filmed in this part of town. Whites that could move out did. When the factories started closing down in the 70s-80s, people that couldn’t leave got stuck there. Many of the people there are transplants from the counties, that come for easy drug access, without repercussions from the law. If you don’t cut off the source(drugs/drug dealers) it’s won’t end. Go about 10 blocks to the East, there’s 800k -900k homes built. Police not gonna let them linger around there.
@Tyrone_Bone I hear you, I felt similar until I watched addiction kill off a couple coworkers and friends. It humbled me out
@JW-do9wq exactly this homeless narrative that's being pushed is not the root cause. many "fresh transplants" who OD still have their Bucks Chester or Jersey licenses from well to do neighborhoods.
Absolutely, I came to say the same thing. They try to make it seem like it's just "another factor" when nearly every person shown here is on the streets because they're an addict
Thank you for using your platform for information purposes and not to judge these people.
It's heart breaking. I thank God I raised my daughters like a father is supposed to and always am a support system for them. It really saddens me
@robinsantiago2200 - Sir there are many people on these streets that were also “raised correctly” that type of judgement is not friendly. “proper raising” goes out the window when it comes to opioid addiction. Imagine you are home with your beautiful well behaved daughters and you are cutting vegetables for dinner, one of your little princesses comes into the kitchen and says, Daddy let me help you, she grabs a kitchen knife and starts chopping, next thing there is a loud scream, she cut her finger with the knife and is bleeding 🩸 really badely, you take off your shift rip it up and tie a piece around her finger to stop the blood flow, throw everyone in the car and head to the emergency room, shes lost alot of blood and is passing in and out, you get to emergency and they take her into surgery immediately to save the finger, they come back 2 hours later, she had a blood transfusion and the surgery went great, finger all sown back up and you are going through the release process signing papers, the doc comes in hands you a prescription for pain killers so your little baby that you have “raised like a father should” can get some sleep and pain relief, you look at the prescription and say ok thanks doc, great work, so grateful etc and you stop on the way home to get the prescription “pain killer” filled for your little princess. You get home and at 9pm go to her room with a glass of water and her 2 painkillers!! This is as easy as how it starts.
What now Dad ?? You raised her right, but you gave her the opioids, trusting your doctor/surgeon for pain. Just saying, be like a hawk raising someone right has absolutely nothing to do with this situation 🙏
This isn't really about homelessness it's about the drug addiction that makes you homeless..Philadelphia’s zombie drug ‘tranq’ already in NYC
Thank you for telling the truth beautiful lady.
As a person from Philadelphia, this video although highlighting a serious issue, is misleading. The depictions of 'homelessness' shown here, say nothing of the underlying cause of this particular subset of citizens.
Speak to the true cause in this instance. What you are seeing is an area and people well documented for its unforgiving opioid addition and the ravages it has caused. Homelessness in these cases is often not simply due unaffordable housing or lack of government assistance.
It's more complex and layered than the video shows.
100%. KENSINGTON is about Addiction
Housing gives a foundation first it's what's stable in life . That's the first thing established.Thats how control is obtained.Once you become grown it's your main goal.
Fentanyl now and some other new designer drug
This cat is just using that to film women and get views. He's stalking these women with a camera from his car. Filming them without their consent.
He literally brought up the drug abuse at -10:02 smh. I'm from Philly and know people n have family IN this SITUATION....just watch it n move on.
Thank You for a look at the ladies of Kensington.
Creeper
Wonder if OP samples the merchandise?
Right
Oremos por esos jóvenes 🙏🏻
Why? Praying is useless
This isn't about mental illness and depression tell the truth it's about drug addiction nobody is making you take that drug
Drug addiction is a mental illness.
❤
Thanks man
Yo I’m from that side of philly… more then half of them ppls not even homeless they not even from Philadelphia they come from other parts of the state and get caught up on the fentanyl
I think it would've been better for you to walk around that area so we can hear the actual noise from from all sources. Not just your music.
Walking around there is a good way to catch a disease or get mugged.
@@BarryWinner2075I live in the area and do community service work, I’ve been doing it for two years and never got touched. Never got pricked with a needle. Never felt like I was in danger of being robbed. Nothing
As a recovering addict my thoughts and prayers are with these people that are sick and suffering
Tackle the drug and alcohol problem and the homelessness will vanish
❤ MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So sad😢... I took my partner there last summer, as He took wa an addict, I wanted to show Him what could happen if I decided to stop helping Him., (I carried Him for 20 yrs in addition.) I had enough, I broke it, after 6 months After getting incarcerated I helped again HE DIED 1 MONTH AFTER OVERDOSE DIED ON MY BED.. PLEASE GET HELP ..
LETS ALL PRAY IN JESÛS NAME ... AMEN
The City that never sleeps
The zombies nod .. they on that dope fiend lean .. we just don’t go there .. nobody in Philly and those people are not from Philly they there to do , get , or sell drugs .
They sleep standing up.
They try to discover something that the world have ever known.they work so hard
I wish this video actually showed those effected by the cost of living increase . This is simply due to addiction , in which case the government should have more programs readily available. Not to mention most of these people are " transplants " from neighboring states and city's .
Many of than do not want to work they don't want responsibility of any kind..
Laziness contributes to homelessness
Poor merchants, having to put up whit this plague, and the government sending 40 billion dollars to Ukraine, instead of helping these people, is very unfair
Now it is up to $125 Billion
Ditto. 👍
Don't know about than but the once n Tampa FL..Do not want to work..They hang out bumming money all day..At the circle k or were ever they can...Or soliciting..For money n drugs..They are young in can work...But don't want anything that has to do with a job..
Usually when there are homeless men, it's a normal thing as men take max hit, but society protects the women. But when girls and women are seen homeless on the streets, then it's a sign of beginning of crumbling of society.
@@lynnpeart4195 you should learn how to write properly before saying something about others.
I couldn't live knowing my kid is out there in that hell
can't believe it
This is hard to believe, when I was 9 we used to shop this area during Christmas and I had a girlfriend that lived on Clearfield Ave when I was 14. If your from philly you know taking the L to Margret and Orthodox or Frankfort sometimes you can get off at K and A and get food from the bodega! Now I wouldn’t even pass through!😮 Damn drugs have destroyed so many lives, in our city.
Yeah it's everywhere. I have been homeless 3 years-Lancaster, PA.
I feel for these people!
People always assume without knowing the facts of each individual.
I knew one that was in that situation, and the only way he got out was that he met a good person who shelter him now he's doing what he likes, construction, and own his own home. And all thanks to JESUS whom he trusted!
I pray for them, it's hard to break addiction!
in other words, he was brainwashed into believing in a lie, and it gave him courage. religion is ALL man made nonsense, and is evil in itself. I look down on those who believe in magic and men in the clouds. Just stop it, you look foolish.
It is. But there is free help if they would just seek it ❤
Completely leaving out drug addiction in film, obvious that some of those in it have some type of addiction is part of the cause of homelessness
Столько сил в это вложено, столько трудов на это потрачено ...
I thought the streets of America were paved with gold 🥇. Once again somebody LIED
The blue cities streets are paved feces and needles
Love is life 💕
you look like you have a white BMW.
@@Tyrone_Bone Thanks 👍
wasn't really a compliment@@sameerjd837
It is strong but it is the real life there in kensington..
Homeless ? This is about drugs. Funny, when it's about white people, the narrator stayed away from the word DRUGS.
DECIMO COMENTARIO
whoopio shittio
Your full of it, addiction isn’t a discrimination problem. Most of these people made poor life decisions and chose drugs over responsibility. Lets focus on stopping the influx of drugs in our country and less on racial division.
Exactly 💯
*you needed to listen more carefully he didn't say discrimination or systemic inequality leads to drug use but poverty, there are millions of people living in poverty that aren't abusing drugs, but it could be a contributing factor to why (some )do used drugs*
Root cause of it all is the hopelessness in society. You have to compete with Artificial Intelligence to get a job these days. It's just gonna get infinitely tougher. If you're well off now, your children / grandchildren may face the challenge against AI, unless countries start becoming more like utopia where all get basic necessities. AI is used by the rich to get richer and eliminate as many poor and manual workers as possible as of now.
And the housing shortage doesn't have much to do with it either, they could rent an apartment easily if they didn't spend $100+ a day on tranq.
You don't know what you are talking about. The main reason is the capitalism, but I see you are not ready for this conversation.
This Is Going on In Every Major City,Large Or Small. It’s Deceiving To Let This Go On And The Youth is Seeing This 😢
Never see an old face always new one .Overdose ? Or death.
yup
The computer voice rattles off a bunch of reasons why these people are out there but it leaves out one biggy, really poor life choices.
what KURWA have you done to your country???
KURWHAT? we no speakie hammmalaahammala
I lived on those streets for a while, it's becoming better, it used to be a lot worse ( really, really bad). That place will eat you up and spit out. I pray for those I left behind.
Hmmm heartbreaking but we could always send them over to Mexico
This video is not an accurate account. The people who own homes and live there are not living a poor life. They are not middle class but not dirt poor. They are hard working class people some who rent.
The issue is these people are drug addicts and alcoholics, who made bad choices. Most of them are not even from Kens., but travel here from other states, other parts of Philly. There are numerous organizations, who feed and cloth them both in the winter and summer. Many had been kicked out of their homes because of their addictions. Will follow up later.
And why don't social workers don't go out there to help them
พระพุทธเจ้าตรัสว่า ทุกอย่างเกิดจากเหตุ จะดับเมื่อเหตุดับ ❤เป็นกำลังใจให้ทุกคนคิดได้แล้วกลับมาเหมือนเดิมครับ
He did indeed. The cause of this is socialism. We must extinguish socialism.
All I see is comments I fell for them I'll pray for them however their is hope for all if we can all help get together and unite and help each other if anyone has knowledge of resources use them to help
"fell" and pray all you want. neither does anything.
HAVE,some of the homeless don't want help. I seen it myself. Out reach programs come to them to get them off the streets. Don't like Rules!!.To clean up there at.
Substance abuse contributed to choice. Most of these homeless people have love ones who beg them to come home or stay with then and they will help them to get back on track. The homeless choose not too. Most just want to be free and do drugs. So u need to get real and not saying what ever to make ur documentary
Where are they going to sleep when winter is here?
premium = better transfer speed WTF if a youtuber loads a video 1080p I have to pay to see video in 1080p is that it ? that is fucked up.
wow, that was random
the one at 7:38 it's so much fun.
Americans exercising there democratic right to choose. A dumb choice but their choice and must be respected.
Hannover pennsylvania please come I will take care of you
They not all homeless they're heroine addicts.. this is crazy how yall used these images.
Ce pays comme le Canada une catastrophe ,

Drugs contributes to homelessness
what going on in this part of USA,,men and women are in drugs edicted and living homeless in streets,can USA government look for a land to settle this homeless people???
I was "like" 420 Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🏽🤙🏽

This seems like a creepy stalker vid to me!🤨🤨🤨

Opioids and liberal laws. Seattle, San Francisco,Chicago. Defund police, no cash bail, shoplifters shutting down entire shopping areas. Hatred that’s been instilled against police and on and on. Student loans?? Come on now
Bingo
You might wanna add all the repubs cities too..Nashville, Memphis, 70% of Mississippi and Louisiana and I can def continue..this isn't a right or left issue..these are human rights issues..how is one expected to live on 8-10 bucks an hour, little to no health care, food banks that give expired or nearly expired foods, rents and utilities are outrageous and now they want you to have three months rent in the bank on top of first last n security..it's unrealistic..used to be able to rent 3 bdrm place at the beach for 600 a month from oct to memorial day..now? 1200 which leaves little room to save for permanent housing..this is on the govt to fix, change, improve..saw a guy two years ago on the news bragging about his affordable housing to be built..then I saw it started at 300,000.. who tf is that affordable for when you make 16,000 a year? Why I'm still living in my van and prob will for a long while..
🤑🤑🤑 All money 🤑🤑 went to ukraine 💰💰💰💰
no, we have plenty more money. we CHOOSE to not address this. Ukraine has no effect.
Easy or not
Seems like half the people in this video maybe a little less are simply working class people walking to and from to work or home. Some are obviously waiting for a bus and this video portrays them all together as homeless dopeheads; plus the camera seems to be focused a wee bit too much on the little white girls in short shorts. It's hard to tell but the cameraman could easily be a perve.
💔❤️🩹
I’d say 90 percent are there cause of their habit and open air market. At this point they want what ever is their choice. They are homeless cause their choice was their habit not rent or other necessities.
I couldn’t see the homeless people for all the junkies and the hockers!
hockers
Can't understand guys going there
Is it true , that many of the homeless are not on drugs but, just cannot afford housing? ?
99% are on drugs and they could afford housing if they didn't spend $100+ a day on tranq,
Yes some of them are not on drugs yet but due to being homeless sooner or later a person will start taking drugs because they see no way out of their situation and feel defeated.
nearly all of them are not even from Philly. they come there for the freely tolerated drugs. It's not about homelessness.@@jasonmau2012
@jasonmau2012 if you're homeless in Kensington, you're a junkie through and through. Junkies show up from out of state to be a junkie there
If you can't afford to live there.....LEAVE!!!! There are many places in this country i couldn't afford to live so I don't.

@@Tyrone_Bone we never let the nato abuse are Ukrainian speaking Russian. Long Live Russian Empire Long Emperor Putin
I'm just wondering 🤔 why they only follow females?!?!
cuz boobies 👀👀
U know y
@@j.w3559 why do you think so?
I love this fucking place.
This country may be corrupted but you can still make an affordable living if u try try try
The government know what's happening there and what drugs,opioids etc is put in that area u think they care,they have an agenda their working on and the American ppl isn't included,they know the heartship this country is goin through,no answer for things we really want to no that's affecting us all and what do we do sit around on ah formatt like CZcams and talk about it knowing that some of our statements will be sensors,it's up to us to do something about this issue,...I'm not Dien on my knees what about you all?!?🤔🤔
I agree with you I was a addicted to herion for many years and I just left the area in the South Bronx in N.Y.C I just hope we can save a few lives, stay strong and God bless you 😢✌🏼
If you send your kid to college in Philly and they stop answering your calls. This is probably where you will find them.
This video is misleading it continues to be viewed with misleading content! This is a drug issue not housing. If your addiction is drugs and alcohol you will sell your mother to get your next high! How can addicts pay for there bills? One of many roots to homelessness is drugs and mental health etc then housing. TY for showing the video society needs to see the reality of homeless and addiction which is killing our youth
It's September where's the updated videos July was two months ago WTF
his mommy caught him in the basement yanking to pictures of feet, so he is grounded.
@@Tyrone_Bone LMAO
I watch these types of video about Kensington for a few different reasons.
Most importantly bc although I didn't end up on the streets in Kensington, had I not moved back to Delaware that's where I was on my way to. Very quickly. It's not a game out there at all.
So after watching this, I am absolutely DISGUSTED.
First off this was the most uneducated and perverted documentary I have seen so far. Every single person that was focused on was a female. Most of them were wearing shorts with their ass hanging out. The ass was the focus point of each lady. Please by no means think that I'm saying anything negative about the ladies in this worthless documentary. Anyone can carry a camera around doing this. Did anyone actually learn anything or hear how they could be helped?? I can't even wrap my head around this.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you're going to do something like this, try to at least make sense and have some kind of educational information.
Satan making people stupid contributes also
Ghouls I say, Ghouls!
Why do you focus only on women in your videos???
The main driver for homeless is not affordable housing but mental illness and drug addiction. Which goes hand in hand much of the time. You cannot keep someone housed whether it’s government provided or family and friends. Most would rather stay on the street, and don’t want a place to stay. The need mental help and rehabilitation. Unfortunately government run help is big business and is a revolving door. Staying on appropriate medicine and staying off self medications. It is not discrimination either many people have family members who are in the street. This is a very difficult problem to fix. I pray for these people. 🙏🩷🙏
It's disgusting to be uploading videos of people in their worst just for clout! Instead of recording-get involved and help. This is not right, and you should be ashamed.
Since when is "homelessness" specifically about whitish women otherwise attractive?
I live near here, can confirm, most people on the streets up there are dudes
this surprises me...since all I ever see are the skanky girls.@@elizabethkrumrine2711
Exactly...a lot of focus on the working girls in short shorts... ha ha fucking perve
I feel you on this. That's all that was focused on
มันไม่ใช่เป็นการไม่ดูแลแต่เป็นการสมัครใจของคนพวกนี้ที่จะติดยาเสพติดโดยคิดเองทำเองโดยไม่สนใจคำตักเตือนของใครทั้งนั้น
Killadelphia!!
WHO WOULD WANT TO DATE ANY OF THESE LOST SOULS
date? my idea of a date with one of these twaks: c'mon honey, let's go to the corner and watch Crotchrot Cathy have a seizure and poop herself, then we can go down to the river and look for bodies... I'll get popcorn.
I hope this never happens to any of your family members or friends. You would probably change your attitude and show a little compassion then.
You know how I know this is staged? No tattoos and wounds.
Is not stage bro I’m from philly Kensington come see ur self half of them folks not even from philly they got all new houses build out here folks do some fentanyl and his a rap
what an incredibly ignorant statement
😪😪😪😮💨🙄
Thankyou for making these videos. This work matters. I would think that it would be good for the entire community of Kensington of The City of Philadelphia of Pennsylvania State to have a sturdy concrete drinking water fountain built within McPherson Square. The cost to build such would not be much. A good group of men could do that gratis and the cost to The City of Philadelphia for what municipal water used would be little. The benefit to all would be good. How many lives could such a public drinking fountain save? Severe dehydration affects the brain and impedes good decision making. If The City of Philadelphia had public drinking water fountains or more of them perhaps The City of Washington, as some say Washington D.C., could build again public drinking water fountains. Speaking as a Son of The City of Washington I remember public drinking water fountains being in many areas of America's Capitol during the 1970's and into the 1980's. There is so much work to be done in America and some of that work costs little but has a big benefit to all. America is not going to be like this forever. I have the utmost confidence in America's future. A new day is approaching, a better America. My Regards Mr. Dominic James Austin.
a sturdy drinking fountain....YOU SIR, are brilliant!!! This will solve all the issues, because hey you got to stay hydrated when you are shooting poison into your skinny infected azz....... YUP!, a communal cesspool drinking fountain that all the junkies can poop in.. My regards, Mr. Tyrone Motherfuqqin Bone.
Bleeding heart homosexual Liberal white privilege piece of HORSECRAP. The government would pay ten million dollars for one fountain. Look up the leadership of the city all black Democrats. That is robbing the city blind.
A water fountain? They pass out water 7 days a week down there dehydration is a choice if you can get drugs and not water then it's your choice most people buy a water for clean water to shoot dope you are focused on the wrong thing... You really have no clue the kids or addicts would knock it over or it steal the copper out of it yea you are looking at this issue from the wrong angle
why local authorities and government don't fight with it? maybe it's because they are financially interested in this crisis? real america's disgrace. very sorry for all these people. the basketball diaries don't teach humans.

That 2nd lady in the dark shorts....I'd be glad to help fund her addiction. $20 at a time. 😎
I don’t like this video went u not even speaking facts on them folks out there it was different if u would ask them where they from why they don’t go back home to they houses and half would say they family don’t want them
and I don't like your grammar. 😎😎
Keep voting for Democrats and you'll keep seeing this.
The Democrats did not cause this problem and voting for Republicans will not fix it.
We should fire hose them on twitch live. Subs can pick songs to play for the firefighters in a discord server.
Америке у себя в стране нужно порядок навести, а не лезть в чужие страны со своим уставом и не снабжать оружием Украину.
I live in the middle of Kensington, houses burn down everywhere, and they are rehabbed in 3. Months, they fixed up a house across the street from me, 3 story and they want 2000$ to live in this hellhole per apartment, My house is paid off and I hate it here and I pay bills, 2000$ a month to live in a drug infested neighborhood, ya know who lives there, the drug dealers, stay close to their money, no normal people would want to live here, it's a hell hole and your lucky to get out alive,, MOST of the people that are homeless, ask them and they will tell you, I love getting high.
