Neighbors recognize plight of Parkway homeless, but are fed up with trash, needles, nudity, and human waste

For residents near the encampment, the garage incident is emblematic of how their prosperous slice of Philadelphia has been altered — some say “distorted” — by the presence of 100 to 150 occupants of tents staked in a ball field since June 10 as an omnibus protest to support homeless rights, disarm the police, and buttress the Black Lives Matter movement.

“The Parkway, this bejeweled boulevard of museums and cultural institutions, has been trashed to the point where it’s lost its magnetism,”

It's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Aware that the perception of well-off Philadelphians complaining about a group of homeless in their midst doesn’t make for ideal optics, retired financial analyst John Mosser, 67, who lives a few blocks from the encampment, said: “We’re not saying their cause isn’t just. But we’re concerned about the health of the environment here.”

What a bunch of hand wringers. You're concerned about the health of the encampment but not the disgusting blight that is in middle of your neighborhood?

Keep voting Democrat and embrace the suck.

It’s not plight, it’s blight. Liberals are not doing the “homeless” any favors by letting them indulge in drugs, alcohol and mental illness. The problem is not that they are homeless. The problem is that they are not functional as human beings. They have problems that probably divide up into four categories. The three listed above and then, the rare person who has just fallen on hard times. The fact that society indulges them allows them to continue to live as they are without solving their problems. Only the rare case could be handled by a social worker.

We did not have this problem until the ACLU forced the closure of mental institutions. The inmates were given a bottle of pills and turned out on the streets. At some point society has to start caring for those who are functional in society by keeping them safe from predation and disease.

Funny how there's ALWAYS a reference to drugs in these kinds of stories. Always...

The Secretary of HHS is now in Taiwan for talks. They ought to include what the Taiwan government does to deal with crap like this. Then we need to do it here. After all, we do have a much higher GDP per person than Taiwan does.

But, the Libtardarians keep telling us that more and legal drugs are a good thing.

Which leads us to the inescapable conclusion that libertarians are either liars or genuinely stupid. I say it's the latter.

The answer is to spread the problem around and Allow Homeless Camping anywhere within 1000 feet of Any Officer of the Court or Elected Official’s personal Residence.

JFK Parwway and Fairmount Park as a whole used to be absolutely magnificent and like everything else the left touches,it is now a sh*thole. The leftist rot is growing into once untouchable areas soon to come to the ‘burbs.

Yup - with almost 100% of the votes in many areas of Philly.

They own it lock, stock, and barrel. Embrace the suck.

This is what the spineless weasel of a mayor will have to deal with! Jim Kenny is truly a POS that should be flushed into the Schuylkill river after passing through the disposal plant.
