Philadelphia's mayoral candidates propose strategies to alleviate Kensington, an open-air drug market, but longtime residents are skeptical help will come.

And Marnie Aument-Loughrey, a 50-year Kensington resident and the chair of the Kensington Independent Civic Association told the Inquirer the community has gotten worse in recent decades.

"Even when I was a kid there were drugs but it wasn’t out in the open," she said."It changed somewhere in the late ‘90s, early 2000s with the open-air drug market."enhanced policing operation and called it a blueprint. She said it"showed that a strong, proactive police presence can help to make these communities more livable."

But Colón said the previous operation was"like stop and frisk on steroids" and compared it to the invasion of Normandy. He also told the Inquirer that other earlier efforts were only temporary solutions that ultimately failed. An addict lies on the sidewalk in Kensington. Rodriguez laments that they're seen as just parts of the neighborhood's landscape.
