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.

So sad to see ?
If someone from the early 1900s could see this today they would surly think, "This must be the last days talked about in the Bible….as in the Days of Noah. We never imagined it would be this bad." So sad….
Skid Row in Cali is worst.
Land of hope.
This is reality.
All of these videos are deeply sad and tragic tales of poor decisions, bad luck and hopelessness but I find the clip of the young woman tripping at 2:30 incredibly moving. I'm not even certain why but she seems to epitomise the sense of loss and waste of a life that could have been…..?
Sad
Thought I had it bad getting hooked on beer and skunk, I'm getting away from it slowly but surely, most of these poor fuckers seem doomed, don't seem real, what they on? Shame on the government for handling these people like this, I'm in London, ain't ever nothing on this scale, vicious circle! I'm wishing these people all the love and luck they can get.
Bless

Shoot up in my neighborhood and see what happens. Why is this acceptable in Philadelphia. Why is this allowed
Wow, how long have been at the war on drugs? Like 40 years? Yeah, that was money well spent. No need for treatment and prevention here.
very sad
Cause of advanced technology
This is how you destroy a nation. You do it from within.

Pobres almas perdidas, se han convertido en la caneca de la basura del diablo.

Where is family when is needed. May be they went on drugs and their lives took different route. Where humanity when is needed. God help them!. That looks like the movie of the Zombies
Police forgot to arrest one or two drug dealer it seems
This is so ….overwhelming….I stare in disbelief…it's so quiet as well…..so IMPORTANT you did this. Thank you….
God bless you and your family and friends and these lost souls.

Welcome to the cesspit of every modern city.
Da wären selbst die Junkys aus Frankfurt noch normale Leute… traurig was da abgeht…
The one positive thing i take from this video is that are no children
i cant figure out where is the camera, surely if they see that their being filmed they would cause a beef
I don't blame drugs. I blame the modern world and all of its stupid rules.
04:09 ? What have on leg? shit.. is destroyed
I hate when people make this about politics. It's both sides who created this. Everyone who lived in the ghetto said this was coming. They just felt better protesting music. You know it's bad when you see white people don't even Care about white people on the streets. So yeah blame Democrat. Blame republican while you do your family on the streets. Damn do sad
