    They just clean Kensington but they didn't clean Allegheny they went right around the corner and doing the same thing they did on Kensington streets you can't clear a section of the city when they have no place to go where are they going go to different parts of the neighborhood move into your neighborhood they need a place to go permanent😊

      I don't live there, however, there are enough videos to narrate the conditions. No city in the US will provide folks a permanent place to live who are using, that's why they offer treatment first. After long-term, inpatient treatment, plus sober living (its typically 1 yr) they are given many resources and will have both a job, and be able to pay for a place to live permanently. (also, based off age/income/disability) can include income based housing, roommate, etc.) but I guarantee that person will not be living on the sidewalk anymore.

    All they did was move them a coupe of hundred yards. They are all still there. Just a block or two away. The Mayor seems to have gone very quiet since her media day in the sun. Nothing has changed. Anyone who thinks it has, need to take a wander through the streets themselves (and not just on Kensington Avenue). There are 24/7 live cam videos. Watch them for yourselves.

So apparently this is everywhere. Yet it seems as though nothing is being done about the populace of homeless people.
