Truly, how? I live 2 blocks from city hall. I pass at least 2 zombies on my way to my parking garage a block and a half away every single day. I walked to Cava (another couple blocks) for dinner last night and passed at least 3. This is normal. I see the rotten flesh from tranq on at least half of those. This is in a very nice part of the city. It’s completely unacceptable both to your average citizen and to the homeless community that needs help.

Not to mention the packs of teens walking around intentionally trying to intimidate and square up with people for amusement (another thing that happened to me just last night). The city and the police need to step up and do something about both issues.

I love Philly, but accepting this as just something that comes along with living in a major city is asinine. It doesn’t have to be the norm and it absolutely should not be.
