What was said
"The worst place I will say by far, Kensington. That makes Skid Row look like Mary Poppins. I've been in the slums of India and this is way worse just because you have people face down in a curb on fent or tranq, open wounds, flies festering on the wounds, and we're all acting like this is okay."
After visiting drug crisis zones across America and international slums, Santenello declared Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood the worst he's witnessed, surpassing both LA's Skid Row and Indian slums. He described fentanyl and tranq users lying face-down with fly-infested open wounds, calling the acceptance of such conditions a future cultural low point and criticizing harm reduction policies as enabling human degradation.
