In Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, where drugs reign supreme, there is talk of implementing curfews on businesses to combat addiction and crime. City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada has proposed a bill mandating specific establishments to close from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., aiming to tackle the drug crisis and enhance the community's well-being. Kensington suffers greatly from overdose deaths and rampant violence and drug-related offenses. This bill forms part of the city's broader initiative to tackle the social challenges plaguing Kensington.
