- Philadelphia has become home to one of the country's most notorious open-air drug markets, particularly in the Kensington neighborhood, which is seeing homelessness and drug use on a large scale. Correspondent Evan Lambert joins "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" with a look at the problem, saying the city has begun to address a previous mayor's policies, which many blame for the current situation.

There’s an actual live cam on TH-cam showing this area 24/7.
If you didn’t know any better you would think it’s showing a 3rd world country. The fact they let it go this long is such an embarrassment to this country

Narcan is free while EPI pens are a few hundred dollars
It don't work on the news zombie drug the eat the flesh
Nothing is free
True, nothing is actually free. It's paid for out of tax payer dollars. But it's free for the people who need it, cause I doubt they pay taxes.
@@twinbot2Yes it’s free to the junkies! However people who are in Legit chronic pain, and go get blood tests, MRI’s to see if their issues are worsening, etc.. Well they have to get Narcan once a yr. And it’s not free! Even with insurance it still costs 5-10$. And it’s never even been touched. Let alone come close to be used.🙄 Whilst these people nod out all day, others with legit issues still can’t get to sleep before 2-3am if lucky. I digress.
It’s about time!
The place looks like where all dreams go to die .
If you don't live in the PHL metro why would it matter to you?
@@josephmedina6403Just a few blocks away there's another neighborhood, Fishtown, which has been booming for about a decade.
AGREED
@@yvonneplant9434 You are right. I don’t live there but it still matters to me. Fentanyl is a huge national problem. It’s everywhere. I don’t live in Gaza either but I still care.
Thank you mayor❤
If there's a "Crackdown" on alcohol that's when ElizaDRUNK will be upset.
Damn what a low blow.😳
Why you blur them out?
How can these people not affect those who see this horrific scene. If they get clean it would be a miracle. Really, really sad.
This has been going on for years… 💔 not much has changed tbh - harm reduction saves lives yes but you can’t force treatment.
It wasn't just the PPD. It was a wide city dept effort.
The trick will be keeping this crap from happening again.
🙏🏽💟 my bro out there in the struggle 💔
All those people are not from Philadelphia all of them from other cities 🏙️
And there miles of drugs corners all around
Believe It or not I actually know a person who opened a recovery center years ago in Philadelphia and someone told me that he also had drugs on the streets. Well he doesn't have that recovery center anymore why I don't know
WHat a joke
Nope until they do something that they have to these folks will never go away
Crazy how we excuse their way of life but yet don’t say anything about them doing these things in front of kids so we pit these folks ahead of our kids safety really
Kensington is, and will continue to be, a ‘killing jar’..
That static is a joke it’s always black when there’s more of the other demographic using trust I live not too far from there
So, where did they all go?
Around the corner
@@tinataylor4203 that’s what I figured
united states decides to be honest about america's drug problem now - what a shocker ???!
After years. Close the border, stop the drugs.
Must be an election year.
Nee mayor just took office in January. She is actually doing what she said she was going to do.
Fedderman, aren’t you from PA?
He's from western PA. Not from eastern PA.
But, will the DA actually do their job?
They have come back. Kensington live cam
She's so snooty and condescending. Wasnt she a drunk? I bet she did her own stumbling on her binges.
