Great job Mayor Parker . The people in that neighborhood deserve their dignity
Thanks, now i can get high in a clean environment.
😂
they'll be back. Make it illegal to set up camp on public land and enforce it 24x7.
The help has always been available
I really believe this move isn't about safety its political and a way to put more upscale people in this area.
Why don't you go ask some of the people that live down there what they think. You're an idiot that lives in a normal part of the city. I'm sure you would change your outlook if you had to live with this filth around you and your family
It's May the 15th, 2024 and to respond to your comment, I present a scene from the movie "Boyz in the Hood:"
Furious Styles: What are y’all, Amos and Andy? Are you Steppin’ and he’s Fetchit? I’m talking about the message. What it stands for. It’s called “gentrification.” It’s what happens when property value of a certain area is brought down. You listening?
Tre Styles: Yeah.
Furious Styles: They bring the property value down. They can buy the land cheaper. Then they move the people out, raise the value and sell it at a profit. What we need to do is keep everything in our neighborhood, everything, black. Black-owned with black money. Just like the Jews, the Italians, the Mexicans and the Koreans do.
Here comes the Korean businesses..
They only went around the corner.
It’s about time
Ya wanna get the job done or do you want to feel good? Those to goals are not comparable despite what some like to think.
Rosalind Pichardo: "Their just gonna be pacing the streets." Isn't that what they've been doing?
It looks beautiful Great job yell 👏👏👏
They are all still there just no tents.
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.
Election year cleanup, nothing new. Not done with any good intent at all
This has nothing to do with an election year as Mayor Parker was just sworn in this year. She’s not running for reelection.
shouldn't these people be fined $1,000 for public intoxication, then eventually arrested for failure to pay? credit to the mayor, but I think Philadelphia needs to enforce the Law.
They are all back.
Some but considering that blacks make up less then the white population. I saw a lot of old saggy balls lice hair having white men that looked like they voted for Biden.
@@niggakilla1166He said they’re all “BACK,” not black.
Wow..😳
Apparently you are blind. I saw PLENTY of Caucasian people in these Kensington clips.
Por favor pongalo tambien en Español gracias
Help our homeless an addicTed rather then letting Illigels come in an take all THEIR RESOURSES
GGOD THANK GOD ITS GONE ON WAY TOO LONG
Should’ve been done back in the 90’s.
Nope it will go right back to the way it was right after the elections. Until people in Philadelphia vote a different way. This is going to be your reality
Stop yes they do I’ve been down there w pre outreach
100 billion in aid for other country's wars. 100 billion dollars could build housing.
100 billion is fine with me as long as it's not American boots on the ground dying in a foreign country. Also, $100 billion to build houses won't solve anything. The homeless epidemic is just another industry that somebody is making money off of.
These people are choosing to do drugs so it's their right. There's plenty of help for them, they just don't want it.
All of a sudden they want to Gentrifie Kensington
Outreach people eat well.
Bull. Its back in full swing. City lies
75 folks cause so much turmoil and expect help,how bout working do something is there no self esteem especially the males at least get washed up ,any church would be glad too open their doors for you
100 billion in aid for other country's wars. 100 billion dollars could build housing.
