Don't do drugs kids!
That part!
Hank this is great reporting, where is the funding going?
When an individual makes poor choices, the impact is not limited to themselves but can spread to others just like a contagious disease. When you hang around sick birds, you're going to get just as sick, if not sicker.
So the ppl who chose drugs get "affordable" housing while us workers are spending 75% of our checks on rent trying to feed our kids
Wrong
People on drugs are in the street
@@tyronetucker3093 😂 seriously
Get your info correctly. If those that do get housing are on drugs/alcohol, they will lose it soon because they're on drugs and alcohol. Because they'll spend what they do have on drugs/alcohol instead of rent and bills and no one will deal with their BS excuses.. If they choose to be irresponsible for themselves, the housing won't support them and their addiction and they'll be out on their asses without a pot to piss in., That's the truth. A responsible system won't support those that aren't choosing to be responsible for themselves.
Hank and Steve are great reporters.
Yea um no. Steve hardly reports from the scene he too scared to do so. I remember I kept saying something about it for a year finally he started reporting from on scene again but before that for an entire year he was hiding in that alley downtown reporting from behind the clothes pin. And Hank is pretty good recording a segment but when he is reporting live I feel like he needs to give me whatever he is on.. idk if it's a drink or some drugs but he be stuttering looking all around acting kinda funny.
Fox 29 best reporter is probably Shaynah and Chris and Sue and Kathy from weather. Love Mike and Alex and all the morning people. Sheba and Jason are cool too. Sheba look like she just smoked a nice blunt and is just chillen.. Dawn is great also. I say the worst are Bob Kelly Drew Anderson Bill Anderson and Breland Moore in sports. She not bad but she not good either.
Everyone else is in-between.
I like this guy.He is for real.
If only we cared about our American. Brothers and sisters. Instead we care more about a every other country and city but our own. Tell the truth. If it was Americans first
Billions and billions but nothing for our people
Our Politicians are not getting the job done. Hold them accountable damn straight 💪
There's no industry left in the city anymore. When I was kid , I grew up in an area know as garment square. People actually walked to work. There was Botney 500. Several different clothing manufacturers. There was a Segrams plant in my neighborhood. There were several small, medium and large factories that were operational. Now all gone. In Philly if you're not in Healthcare, work for one of the several large universities, Temple, Penn or work for the city itself. Maybe the state or federal government. Septa. Without some education pass high school . It's the drive thru window at McDonald's for you. All due respect. People always talk about how politicians need to do more. Sure, but the bottom line is mofo need a job. A job paying a livable wage. Not government subsidies. A good paying job covers a multitude of things.
I’m from Kensington so sad what it looks like now. I moved many years ago.when it was nice to live their.PHILLY GIRl.😊
Great commentary Hank, just need that resolution up. Looked like 720p or less
Sticking or putting people into "affordable" housing is not a cure all band-aid ... alot of these people have mental issues, and or substance abuse/addiction issues. If you stick these people into these housing units, they'll wreck and gut the place up and become a danger to the building complex and it's residences. Not only that, they'll also invite criminal elements to and within the building. You'll need a 24/7 Police Presence on site like Police Liaison office to maintain law and order, and a counseling and nurse office near/on site of these apartment buildings. I've seen what homeless people do to "affordable" housing/apartment units first hand, (i was a cleaner) to these evicted and destroyed units, and you can see the destruction of Section 9 housing by these people on youtube and landlords have to fix everything up.
Good for you doing this peice Hank I SPENT over a year living in KENNSINGTON abusing drugs, people don’t believe what it’s really like ASTONISHED, NOW CLEAN AND SOBER IM A FATHER OF 2 AND A HOMEOWNER AND GETTING MARRIED NEXT YEAR GODBLESS TO EVERY1 STRUGGLING OUT THERE IF YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT THERES A BRIGHTER DAY, IF YOU DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE YOU WANT TO GET CLEAN AND TRY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE THERES NO WJERE FOR YOU TO GO TEMPLE DETOX I HAS YOU LAYING IN A GYM NO FOOD NO SNACKS NO BEDDING NOTHING 72 hrs up and it’s security forcibly removing you
They say it beats the shelter system and no doubt it possibly may but I feel the true reason people don't wanna go to a shelter is because they don't want follow rules and a curfew. They want to be homeless and enjoy the street until all hours and would love to just pop up at 2am looking for a shelter bed and its just not realistic. They will help people get housing who can commit to following their rules showing up on time and taking advantage of the shelter. My friend my got section 8 from the shelter it took 6 months but she did it. She was on time for curfew and she got her day and overnight passes and when she couldn't go out she didn't.. she did what she had to do and she got a place. Every one else just wants to be running the street getting high having their fun and smoking their cigarettes but they don't wanna obey and follow the shelter rules and really get the help. He would rather stay asking for money in the street to get a room in Kensington go figure.
There are people who like handouts, and some even prefer to go loot for it. Then they expect these hand outs for the rest of thier lives. is it a thing of Lazy or Victim?
Philly is going through it. Just as much as everyone else .😊 PHILLY GIRL.
I feel like Philly isn’t that expensive you can still find 3 digit apartments pretty much all over the city compared to the cities it’s size (Chicago,NYC,LA)etc
I was in Philadelphia for 58 years and the worst thing you can do in life is do drugs or be a alcoholic that will definitely cause you to be homeless! Sex trafficking and traumatic events also cause homelessness! Corruption also is a big Philly problem
.. many children have been born unto those whom suffer severe addiction, inheriting hardships from the beginning
When they say the poorest they are comparing Philly to other top 10 largest cities. Therefore cities like Cleveland, Baltimore and Detroit are left out of the comparison since they are not top 10 largest. All of those and more are poorer than Philly. Surprisingly those three cities are no longer even Top 25 in population. Top 25 cities San Fran 12% and Seattle 11% poverty which seems good. The US overall poverty level is 12%. Philly 25%, Houston 21% Boston 20% NYC 19%. Philly seems high but there are cities that are higher and in many ways Philly's level is fairly common. Detroit 35%, St Louis 24% Cleveland 34% Newark NJ 28%, Miami 24%, Bmore 22%, Atl 22%, NYC 19%.
The large cities get most of the attention but some smaller cities are really bad off such as Gary IN 33%, Camden NJ 36%, Flint MI 36% and so on ....
Hi Hank! Hello Sammy! It takes money to buy those drugs.
Make sure y’all show up for Kennedy Jr on Oct.9 HUGE announcement!! 🇺🇸
So simple. 🙄
It's all a choice. Everything. YOU choose to pick up that drug and use it, nobody else did for you. I didn't wake up one day and decide to become a heroin addict. People have kids THEY CANT afford. stop having 4, 5, 6 kids when you cant take care of 1 or 2!!
Many individuals make excuses to justify their actions, perpetuating a destructive cycle that hinders their growth. Which keeps them sick.
Addiction is not a choice neither is trauma. Health and sex education and resources is lacking. Stop spewing BS you simpleton.
🤙 Patty Hearst didn't expect to get kidnapped by the SLA visiting her boyfriend Steven Weed in Berkeley. Forced her to do a lot , she would have never done it by her choice. Nixon ? Pardoned her n she married Bernard Shaw , i.e., body guard. 🤙💜 Documentary n Movie.
Education, education, education....this is the results of poor education and corporate greed. Being in Philly for 20 years now, you can get veggies if you try...some of these people would rather have some fast food than a plate of broccoli!
Damn, I thought they would’ve been tore it all down. I grew up right around the corner from there on 50th and Osage.
I tried reaching out to Fox regarding a dirty slum lord. Philly has a housing issue across the board. And it’s not any better that the people flipping houses are renting them at outrageous cost. Kensington should not look like that it’s people that come here to make TH-cam videos. But it doesn’t seem to be sympathy for the people that have no choice but to live there. I am scare what’s happening in Kensington can happen anywhere in this city.And my family doesn’t even go to corners stores anymore. These politicians are trash.
That dr is 200 percent correct
This doctor is telling the truth. I used to go into small city stores and most groceries were processed food, snacks, soda. Not much in the way of nutrition and foods that children should definitely eat. Grocery stores don't want to pay higher prices for lots or rent in large buildings in the city and that's one reason why most chain grocery stores are in the suburbs. It's a shame, but it is what it is.
They also called that area the bottom
The Greed In The City Is Wild
Don't excuse bad behavior. But treat people like human beings.
Most of These people are where they are because of the choices that they made. Maybe we should ship them down to Mexico or Venezuela.
The Best Place to LOOT....... Usual Suspects do s Great Job 👍....... just my opinion
It’s a shame because Philly is the poorest of all the major cities.
This Councilwoman is part of the problem.
Drug addiction will keep you broke. Just Say No.
So what is affordable ??
I AM HANK
More like “woke” in Philly. It’s never their fault, right? Always someone else’s? Shuddup.
most people down there aint from Philly
Philly is a wasteland.
@ 14:56 wait, you mean your former (man turned woman) health guru did y’all like that before it went to work for the feds n Brandon? Surprise surprise
But Ryan what is he doing to better himself. Is he getting into rehab etc. I know he complained about the parasite but what he doing to make it better. When i got diagnosed with cancer i stopped all crazy recreational and illegal drugs i had to.. needed to take care of myself.. the streets will always be there and it not worth it. Get off the streets and want better for yourself..
The hospital don't take him seriously because when they do help him he gonna go back and do the same thing that caused it in the first place.. 🤦
I agree with and love the closing statements Hank made...the statements were well-made and honest, especially the last one about who really benefits from welfare in this country. It's like how the anti-affirmative action white people don't realize that white women have benefitted most from affirmative action than any other group. Because of them, white men have indirectly benefitted from affirmative action too.
Pennsylvania went to hell crime politicians 🤬
stop having kids
Liberal Paradise
Press into Jesus
Me estoy poniendo Descolorido que una Azada Arriba en este Jawn Mi Muchacho
Imagine just got his tinkering away with a bucket and his hands so he can make for the night so you can get out of here that he should be ashamed of himself you know why he should have bought a little drummer ready a real drum and stop that nonsense stop playing games
💥💥 This a problem all over America cities this country is fuuked lol
