- 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 "NewsNation Now" 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.

Every city that’s soft on crime is falling apart
Philly is neither "soft or crime" or "falling apart".
Every city is soft on crime. The whole country is collapsing. We are living in interesting times.
It's been 30 years. The harm reduction model is the ONLY thing that works. Everyone here knows that. Nothing has gotten worse. Lay off the news max juice
Evan is all the way downtown... Nowhere near the scene.
he is reporting from the Ben Franklin parkway about 6 miles from Kensington , BE SAFE !!
@@dpn2331 Again, nowhere near the Kensington he is reporting on.
This is such a miss… they just cleaned up Kensington a few days ago… why not go report on whether or not it’s still clean? He’s like 5 miles away.
Here are the FACTS.... "UPDATE: June 11th, 2020: Your pressure is working. Because of you, Mayor Kenney and City Council have agreed to cut at least $19 million from the proposed Philadelphia Police budget." - source: PhillyWeRise - Well done! Filthadelphia gets exactly what it votes for.
The only real problem is it’s getting to close to old city!!!SO NOW SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!!
I'm sorry ,, This is a disgrace... So sad.. I'll pray.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
funny how they use the same b roll multiple times like they couldnt have gotten more lool
Why run this story now when the Mayor is trying to clean up the area. THAT should be the focus. That area has nothing to do with or near Old City, the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall where tourists go. Fair reporting?? Not so much!!
Finally because
from one side of the U.S. like Portland, Oregon to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania there is a Purge by leaders its sick.
hopefully she can stop the drug problem
Lol!! Every mayor since 70s have said the same thing!!😆
.. ‘ Think you meant to say “use the side of the street as a restroom” .. 😞
It's disgusting you have to walk children by these people.
Sorry what the solution to stop drugs in this area these people are very poor please help these people thanks🙏
They have let this fester for years. It’s disgusting. The smell is never going to go away.
Sorry cuz Kensington been this way before last mayor n the mayor before that n the mayor before that
Handing out sterilized needles to supposedly help the problem really 🤦🏾♀️
Kids should not have to be seeing this shit its disgusting down there 😢
Its about time
Just like Every major City~ across America & the World!!🙄🤨🤔🤓💪🏻
Get ready the new mayor Chevelle L. Parker is not playing games with those bad boys of Philly
The heat will (is) being turnt all the way up
This is ridiculous because mayor or no mayor They have no clue wtf they’re going to do because they don’t have enough hands to help them with this problem. There are way too many addicts too many homeless addicts that’s there’s not enough resources or help. So the mayor can think or say what they want but ain’t shit gonna change. It’s a shame for the poor kids but they have tried this before and look what happened.. Nothing. They’re wasting their time and never gonna make any dents period
I live in Kensington this wouldn't be a problem if most of the residents here didn't sell dope on every other block then they want to complain about what they see to the mayor when there the root of the problem and this is facts
I’ve seen this place decay for years. The smell is unreal. I’ve seen humans with their limbs literally rotting off. Arms legs face. It’s not fentanyl,, it’s xylezen. Never heard of it???? You should check into it. It’s a Benzo and it’s going to be the new thing. Cheap.
Wake up the party is over .
Voting Democrat has grave consequences.
Truth!
Right! because no republican run town has drugs! Good observation!
Sheriff Parker is on a mission I already got one disabled car impounded and another car got a 31$ ticket for street sweeping, next month I'm pretty sure I'll get a 100$ ticket for tints on my other car, straight MONEY GRAB. She's giving a brotha hard time that's how I know she's on job. Now she needs to go fight real crime and leave me alone.
Take care of your business brother and you won’t have problems from the Mayor. Support her-do something in the neighborhood that’s uplifting!!
Yes stop being part of the problem
My God! And it's all by design
