    I just returned here after being away for 50 years. Some good things but a lot of bad. The roads haven't been touched since I left, they're worse than most 3rd world countries. Potholes 4 inches deep with no plans to fix them. No wonder she took this video in the snow. The business areas have been taken over by druggies and the fentanyl crowd. They're passed out on church doors steps and everywhere downtown with garbage, blankets, cardboard signs demanding money "for their kids that need surgery." Anywhere there are bushes you'll find them. Umpteen tents, garbage, human waste and stolen bikes in various states of chop. Plus anything else that isn't nailed down. Expect Kingston to look like San Francisco North very soon. The waterfront "scenic trails" along the Rideau River have been taken over by the Hub, a government funded place that promotes the legalization of narcotics. The whole area is a cesspool, with plans to expand, despite the outcry of local businesses and residents. Such a shame to see the area you grew up in turned into this. Should you cycle, the main street, Princess Street, will destroy the carbon forks on your bike north of Division Street. Plus it's full of REALLY ugly buildings of mismatched sizes and uses.
    So much for "Official Plan" conformity. City councillors are mostly a joke, waxing on about the environment and climate change while their own town goes to hell. They don't even have an office, where they can be reached - they work out of their bedrooms on gmail! Total farce! The Queen's University area is nice though because that's where all the big donors are. However, prepare to fight your way through throngs of college girls dressed up like Hooter girls as the moral decay continues. One other thing: Don't even think about getting a family doctor, make sure you stay very, very healthy because there's a 20 year waiting list! The city has one walk-in clinic that's manned by a physician's assistant (i.e. a nurse). That's it! Plan on living near the hospital emergency entrance if you can find a parking spot on the pot-holed roads.

      Amen 🙏 you said it all and very well … I live three houses away from crack head central .. I love fentanyl Friday’s .. Brings out Kingstons finest!!! Park toy car across the road sometime and watch the parade of people seeking drugs .. they go around the building and leave 10 minutes later .. non stop .. Ameys taxi asks for payment before the crack heads get in the car .. they’ve been ripped off sooooooooo many times !! The homeless run this city !!! The mayor has lost control of a situation he created.. Kingston never had this level of crack heads before the pandemic.. all these old hags wanting the poor homeless to stay in this area is because they don’t want them in their own neighborhood.. !! Tourists.. stay away.. it’s a disgusting city and it’s run by crack heads
