Frank Rodriguez, a former heroin user, doesn't think Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood will ever be fully free from addiction. But can it be contained?
Rodriguez toured Kensington with Fox News, stopping occasionally to check on addicts passed out on the sidewalk. He stressed that even though the neighborhood is infamous as an open-air drug market, it's also home to families, including children.
Unlike many advocates, however, Rodriguez doesn’t believe widespread addiction is problem that can be solved.in Kensington could be contained, at least enough so that"people can walk and don't have to see people laying all over the place." But even containment isn’t an easy task. Data isn’t available for Kensington specifically, but, according to the city, Philadelphia faced nearly 1,300 unintentional overdose deaths in 2021, with more than 80% involving opioids like heroin or fentanyl.
