In California, the DMV changed a question on the 2023 hand book of, when you have an accident what credentials do you show to a Police Officer. And that's insurance, registration and Driver's License to show your address of where you live. Just seeing all your videos on the Homeless Lord Spoda, who owns all those nice cars parked in the side of the streets Is that why California changed the question One more question, what's that area between Custer St. and Potter Is that a No Zone Area to drive You have cars parked in either directions!

This is what happens when greedy corporations are allowed to outsource their products to the Far East, Mexico, etc. People lose their jobs and move away and those that stay behind are poor and once prosperous areas slide into decay like Kensington in Philadelphia.
As long as the United States corporations operate the business model of buying cheap imports from countries that pay slave wages and exploit their workers this is what more and more areas of the U. S. are going to look like so we better get used to it.

I love the way people are trying to reserve their parking spot on a public street with Orange cones. I'm amazed why some people think they own the road that runs outside their house. You would not get away with that in Australia. It's always first come, first served. The council/shire would collect all those cones and remove them, especially if they are on the roadway proper without a reasonable excuse for being there in the first place.

Pro tips for cruising in rough neighborhoods: always crack your window and turn your music off so you can hear your surroundings and if there’s two lanes always stick to the inside lane. While driving the inside lane always give yourself enough room behind the car in front of you so if you had to you could whip into oncoming traffic to get away from a bad situation if something happens.

I grew up in South Philly born and raised. And I would never go to Kensington I've only been around there like a few times in my whole entire 32-year life and I never saw the point of ever going anywhere around Kensington. Actually most of North Philly is a problem when it comes to crime and all of that. I tried to avoid North Philly as much as possible.

The Kensington area is like driving through a 3rd world country - maybe even worse.
And this is in the United States
When I was growing up in white suburban America in the 60’s we were taught in school about how the UI. S. was the greatest country in the history of the world. With areas like this, it sure doesn’t seem like it anymore.

I lived in Tacony for a while and am familiar with Kensington in it's current state. The only thing it's good for is cheap used tires from Joels on Frankford and Lehigh. Also, Kensington and Harrowgate are traditionally multiracial neighborhoods. The traditionally black neighborhoods in Philadelphia do not have all this going on.

Politicians use masses of homeless people as a voting block. They pay these people 10 bucks for their information and fill out ballots for them. Our political parties are literally destroying our country for power. A lot of states are sending their homeless west or east to more liberal areas so they can avoid to tax burden.

Lots of people double park where I live right outside of Chicago. They have no concern whatsoever for anybody else and holding up traffic does not bother them. It's amazing. So manufacturing was sent abroad and much of America has been gutted. That is one thing I am seeing from your videos and the extent of it is shocking.

You can't fix apathy, poor morals and self neglect/abuse by throwing more money or programs at the problem. Excusing their behavior is also a red herring. Some people are content being lazy and getting high.

Its not worse than a third world slum, even some third world villages. Water and food are fairly easy to get in the US. Sleeping rough no matter HOW rough isn't a comparison.

I don't think I would walk around there either. I don't think I would drive through there for very long either. Now Nick Johnson would get out and talk to those people.

I'm moving my ass to the mountains very soon. Rather spend the money on the higher cost of living than deal with living in a high crime southern city.

Why should you move and leave your home when someone wants to destroy their lives and your as well. Those people worked hard for a life style.

The difference with third world countries, is that although the housing and neighborhood are very poor, people are nice and having fun.

I see a lot of cars parked on the sides just wondering about their business and state of mind of those. Surely they can't be peaceful!

The USA is a strange mix. It’s an extremely wealthy leading first world nation and yet a 3rd world country at the same time.
