My Uncle lives on Kensington. He is happy they pressured washed his concrete patio for free 😂😂😂😂😂
Kensington Ave is a sad place. They haven't solved the problem just moved these people to another location.
But it is solving the problem. Like when Republican states force people who are mentally ill and addicted in their states to go to large blue states. That’s solving the problem, obviously!
3 weeks at most back to normal anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy
Thank you PC. For not only shining a light on the current state of affairs, but -perhaps more importantly- offering a reasonable expectation of quality and accountability through the lens of what once was and what could be again. People will never know what could be if they have no context and perspective of what once was. If people are conditioned to tolerate low standards, they will never understand the opportunity for a better reality
Gotta love the cameras pointed at taped off restricted area no one is allowed to enter, looks clear to me! Thanks Captain for actually showing whats going on, this looks like a field trip for city hall like the second graders do but now theres press.
Thanks for trying to explain what’s going on to that “Kensington” UA-camr, who only learned the day before about the cleanup. Funny you mentioned about making money, off the homeless, which is exactly what Drones is doing under the guise of giving out wound care supplies and syringes (which is still illegal) in PA. Dude is a homeless, convicted ch*mo who stalks women in Kensington, proof on my channel. Can’t wait for another Adam The Woo collab!! ❤❤❤
I don’t understand how he didn’t know about the clean up. Signs were posted. He’s on the Avenue more than I am. He should have known. You are the third person to use the term ch*mo. I had to look it up and I’m shocked. How do you know that’s true?
@@ThePhillyCaptain He's all about calling out the cops, who he thinks are wrong for enforcing the law and trys to provoke them any chance he gets and catch them on camera for content.
@@ThePhillyCaptain It's all on my channel interviews with his family, sisters and mother
👏🏻👏🏻
💯
Nice work . This how our country should be clean to make a safer America ❤❤❤. Proud of everyone that made that possible now let’s just do something to maintain it
Gotta get it cleaned up before the World Cup.
I would love to have seen those council people walk down that street before they closed it. Maybe then they would have really understood The depth of the problem with the homeless and the drug addicted
What's the depth of the problem
@LuxLife24 there is no adequate affordable housing. The hospitals are not equipped to deal with the withdrawing addicts who are also dealing with severe infections. There is no medication available to deal with zylozine withdrawal symptoms, and people can die from withdrawal alone. Where do we put the ones who do get clean? Where do we put the people who are homeless only because their income from SSD, SS, or SSI can't afford any place. I am 61 and can't live off of SSD and widow benefit. I don't drink and don't do drugs. Even living in Florida, the waiting list for affordable housing is 2 to 5 years. I live with my man friend but if something were to happen to him.. He has children and grandchildren to inherent his home. And I pay a small amount of rent even though he owns the house. I was raised that no one lives for free. The bottom part is my problem, but the facts at the top are the problem Kensington and everywhere!!!!!
@LuxLife24 12 hundred dollars a month is not enough to survive off of, and many get less than that
I was thinking the same they cleaned it up for them to walk down an once they open the road it will be the same
oh im sure they drove by in thier own cars & Looked Around & see how it is / was
Now...we are back in America!! This is what l'm talking about!! 😊😊😊
A load of crock. Politicians as usual.
Yeah thanks for the update a fan from Chicago ✌️
Thanks for the update
No way they can get everybody leave their home in Kensington they be right back
Those people that you said were getting high on the corner were but they're also selling their food stamps to a guy that buys them that lives right there. This is all a joke. They have to get tougher on everyone involved with drugs. Either get help or put them in jail
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Smoke and Mirror tricks.
So true!!✌️
Tent cities with razor wire. You get a cot, a blanket. Peanut butter sandwiches, water. You want to leave you get off the drugs, cold turkey. You do drugs again you go back. If you are a church feeding these people, enabling them to stay living rough and doing drugs then you go to the tent city too. We either get tough or we are done as a society. If we won't govern ourselves outside forces will govern us.
Your basic idea was reported on/about by the Wall StreetJournal decades ago. The conclusion- This would put the bulk of our criminal justice system personel and everything surrounding it out of work. The Kensingtons of our country generates billions. Go figure.
Why is it the people helping these people should be punished for helping them,? That's what's wrong with this world not enough people who care.
we got ourselves a genius here! Peanut butter sandwiches for the Win!!
It is called rehab.
You rode right by my house today on Allegheny avenue by frankford
I saw YA
Captain said it perfectly, "this is strategic"...exactly, this is IDENTICAL to what they did in Venice, CA about a year or so ago which was on the news. They restored the majority of the beach area back to normal without tents, filth, and drug abuse rampant. But Kensington Ave. was well overdue. It was atrocious what was going on, however, 36 people getting clean is awesome, but it's barely scratching the surface. There is still going to be much more to come. I pray it gets better and the suffering stops, but at some point you have to really tackle this addiction epidemic in the U.S. because it's as bad as it's ever been and continues to get worse. People were having their limbs amputated because of the drugs they were ingesting.
Good for Mayor Parker.....You have to start somewhere
I went to Conwell. Across from the drug store was a donut shop. It was called Donut Galore.
I would love to see the old neighborhood become livable again.
As a 3rd generation born and raised there, I agree. The problem is, is that the gentrification will continue up the Ave and it will price out the neighborhood ppl😢
Thanks for the update on what's happening. I try to follow what's happening in Kensington as I am from Philly but, now live in the northeast corner of PA . I certainly hope they can clean the place up for good.
I’m out here now with the zombies shooting a video with skrilla 😂😂😂
FINALLY!!!!
If you remember years ago when they cleaned out the trestle area near Lehigh, this is a replay of that. Those folks migrated through the neighborhood and eventually found themselves at K&A. This is what allowed the property value on Lehigh to exceed $400K. Along the El corridor the property value has dropped since then and now is the perfect time to buy up the neighborhood. It’s truly sad because a lot of families that have lived through this will be priced out
Love the intro tunes! Thanks for keeping the pulse on stuff. I appreciate your delivery on such a crisis situation. x
Thank you for this! I can enjoy a street view of our city in my home! PHILLY ❤
Cheapest politics it’s a big election year! We have to make it safe for the big money to take over the hood!
excellent comment and true
Exactly!
It's not election year since the mayor was elected six months ago.
@@Louis-iz8nq I was thinking House of Representatives,the senate and various local leaders
And who is funding the superficial solution? For short term gain?
Thank you PC..Thank you Anita for introducing 🫶🩷
People want to live in safe places ! The kids don't need to see drugs being used and people laying around on the ground . They deserve better . Thank you the new administration at least they are trying it's up to all of us to be involved and keep our communities clean and safe for our families!! Thank you 🙏 again to the new administration !!!!!! 😊
They was supposed to be doing clean up last month Captain
I lived in Baltimore and all over Florida. You clear their tents (homes) you give them 350 dollar tickEts for panhandling in Florida. They can't get hired because they have no address. There is no affordable housing that even if it was available, as a 61 year old disabled woman who is widowed can afford on just over 12 hundred a month. America, the rich and the poor. No middle class anymore
Captain I was waiting for you to ask him the tough question and put him on the spot and ask him " what is different about this cleanup? and can we as residents expect the same as years past to watch them creep back in and settle right back here?"
Even if they succeed, they would just push that element up to the northeast. I'm a naysayer on Kensington
Hope not
Yo Cap, the last time they cleaned up kenzo back in Aug of 21 was when I first watched the channel and got to know you and it's been a blast ever since! Thanks for everything and being a great friend!!
HERE WE ARE! KENSINTON!
Love it people are agreeing to getting help
Never noticed the accent until I moved away lol . Philly Philly that is where I am from .
I lived in Philly for 20 years. 6 are only doing parts of Kensington do the whole entire area, including HanCock part of Kensington.
I want to see a 2 and 4 week update video. By then it will be business as usual again and no politicians in sight
They'll be back in a few days
HERE WE ARE Kensington Avenue
It’s all about real estate, 100% correct. 👍 Increase that tax base! Less see where the misplace land.
We all want to see positive changes for the Avenue...but in reality will it happen? Once the media and politicians go back to their offices,,I think things will go back to the way they were.
So great that they're taking it seriously, the homelessness and drugs on the streets of the Spiritual , Nay the REAL capital city of the USA...Love & Respect & Greetings from Ireland ☘️🇮🇪 Philly Captain 🇺🇲❤️🤍💙🥇
Dog & Pony show... 🎉🎉🎉
Cap as of 3am they are all back down there on Kensington ave from G st to Lehigh looks like alot grouped up at somerset/hart lane area and G & Allegheny
So when are they going to clean up the rest of the city? Kind of pointless unless they are all off the streetsThe politicians are patting themselves on the back saying look what I did.Clean up the whole place
WOW!
They must've lowered the property enough to buy it up real cheep time to bring in the Starbucks and 4000 dollar apartments
I was just saying to mamam that the shell houses going for 25-30k are gonna go up to 75k if this is actually real
I love when you said it's political theater.
This is a Damn shame, they cleaned this up before and now keeping it clean, for all the mess to happen again.
these politicians don't care and this is a big joke
Whoo chile!
Figures its a election year and they wanna do their once in a while cleanup
The area is being gentrified.
Every year is an election year.
Or it was one of Parker's campaign promises and she's following up on it.
Good ❤
I sold my dad's house 3 years ago to a developer, he is waiting, has most of Fishtown bought up, my dad lived in Port Richmond and is originally from Kensington lived there for 40 years. It is about real estate as you said. Sad Kensington Ave was a major shopping area, my mom bought furniture and appliances at Levins on Kensington Ave and Orleans Street, painted our Stella Street house with the paint she bought at Kresges, I remember what it use to be. Besides Kenney the useless DA is just as responsible as well.
They also need to clean up South Philly South Philly is horrible.
What about the tent cities at 76 in south Philly? and the tent cities north of old city along 95?
It does look better I have to admit well they can look back at the videos when they wouldn't dare come down to that area I have been watching these videos of homeless in campments since 2019 and it was going on before I started watching I'm glad they're doing this and getting some some help they helped 33 people yesterday and 25 people today but yeah there's hundreds so it takes time the thing is they need social services councilors for each one of them homeless people and get them back to the state or city where they came from as well because many aren't from Philadelphia or that area they came there to purchase and use drugs and they can go back to their states and city's of origin I'm glad their going to detoxification facilities and rehabilitation hospitals thank you all for your hard work and service we appreciate all your doing
Homeless is an under statement
Thanks be to God. My heart breaks for my home.
It was 2017 or 2018 when they did a "clean up" in Kensington to this extent was of what was called El Campamento which was in West Kensington/Fairhill also around B street Bridge area and after that what caused them to move to where they are cleaning up now. In August of 2021 they did do a minor clean up where they cleared it out like you said but nothing after that so people just returned. I read local news online that Frankford residents are afraid the addicts and homeless will move to Frankford station plus surrounding areas only 3 miles North or less from K&A station
Wheelchairs are the people that use tranq, and are infected,and have amputations. It issooooooo addictive. That’s what scares them to not use. Withdrawal is painful. They can’t just go cold.turkey. Very very sad.
They need to crack down On the xyllzine to say nothing about fentanyl.
It breaks my heart to know what is really going on. They removed the people, not the problem. They don't even have a clue or a plan
Glad the Eagles fans base is getting help today. Hopefully they can get back before the season starts.
Too little to late. There is not enough places to house and not enough places to treat these people with infections and addictions. You should have had a plan in place years ago. Now you have people not only addicted to fentanyl but also xylazine. What are you guys gonna do about that. Politicians have no answer for that one...
It may be to late, but at least they're trying! Everyone who lives in Kensington that complaining about the state of Kensington should praise this effort and get out there and try to help clean up where you live 💯
Would help if they stopped doing drugs. Personal accountability has to come into okay. Sick and tired of coddling these people.
It looks great , but will be a mess quick
Win for Philadelphia
Top 👍
I road the el for forty years and seeing this hurts my soul. I no longer live in Philadelphia and when I tell people that I grew up there I get strange looks. Google luck 😅
Now look at a video of Chicago and see why its #2 beautiful city in the world!
It’s about damn time been this way too long
Hopefully they get the help,that they need.wishing all of the or at least 50 porcent get sober and have a productive life.plus a lot of them go back to the family and make them happy.
This area was bad in the sixties and nothing ever changes in Philly
It’s a bad idea! There’s no place for them to go but down the street.
Let them go to another street. For over 14 years every day I have to walk through their to get my groceries and it's horrible walking through there.
Yes I Totally Loved What You Said The Trauma The Kid's That Had To Suffer Through This Epidemic Who Has To Live There !!! Most Are only Worried about the Users. I did notice when You Were Talking To Mike About That he Couldn't Even Say Anything Because he Been Walking Around Blaming n Criticizing the Major n The Police but Can't give A Solution. I Tip My Hat to You Sir For Looking at The Whole Problem Especially Those Children Who has to Live With this. The Addict's even will say they would never want their Children to witness them like this n they are n a better place than being around there.
They'll be back
Was the reporter really short or was she kneeling at that press conference?
It's like ECW never left and every fan from the past just relocated there
As an ECW fan I find this comment insulting lol
It’s sad because because it’s the taxpayers who is paying for people to get high and sleep on the street where is our tax money going?
Sweet Anita Head Sent Me
❤❤❤
Now we new need to build new housing in Philadelphia!
The community and the people of Philadelphia need to come together at all times so that no active addicts take control of their neighborhoods. They move from the L train area and into the blocks of residence. It's out of control but people please come together because it's infrecting the children that's our future.
YO SANTA
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨
😮 Good f***ing job, way to go Mayor, now they can open up their businesss today
this looks good. power wash the sidewalks and keep it this way.
11:31 11:32 11:47 13:15 I'm us🎉🎉🎉
Good to see some effort, at least, to clean up the joint briefly though it might be.
When you go back please check on the chickens for me.
Out of curiosity, does Philly get a lot of New Yorkers moving there, because of NYC's high cost of living? I've noticed rents there being pretty much a bargain compared to places in NYC.
Yes
How how do you wanna be ???? 😅 CLASSIC exactly time to get help
I’m glad they cleaned it up because Kensington was terrible looks a whole lot better and now the kids don’t have to see all that while going to and from school
In the late 70s I started work at phila gas works and Kenzie didn’t Avenue was always spotless and during Christmas the stores were nice you could shop there it’s a shame what happen but maybe this is a start back
Every store owner came out and kept it clean or paid to keep it clean. My dad's store was at 3135. The business association enforced the rules and decorated for Christmas.
They are going to move a couple blocks away. Then they will move back. Just like before & with any other city that has done this.
I know with what I’m about to say people are going to say something about it but like it is NOT the city’s responsibility to house the homeless! Each one of those individuals are adults and as adults we are responsible for our own way in life! Every one else in the world wakes up each morning goes to work, works hard to make a living and then pays for their way why the hell should these people get a handout!? This is what’s wrong with the world today. Everyone is always looking for a damn handout! We need to resort back to the old days when people were proud to work and proud of their lives. So many people today are lost because their sense of worth is gone.
In my opinion no the homeless should not get anymore handouts they e had enough! Maybe help some of the residents that have had to put up with all of their bullshit for all these years! How their children can’t even walk down the damn street because people are doing drugs or passed out dead or they’re encampments all over the sidewalk and shit and piss everywhere how about get those families help like therapy etc since they are the true victims here!
The “homeless” that are down there are choosing to be done there. No one has made them stay there. I agree that they should be offered treatment but that’s about it
How long did they think they were going to be savage on that strip
No place for Homelessness in Phil
Free samples tomorrow morning at 530! Be there! Be square!!
Right?
How many lives were needlessly lost during the Kenney Administration who did nothing to stop this.
