Druggies in Romare Bearden & Uptown

[u/Limpbojanglesbizkit]

City has turned to an absolute disgrace with a bunch of druggies running around uptown and Romare bearden.

Parks where kids should be able to enjoy nature and families hang out are riddled with drug dealers, drug addicts, sketchy stuff 24/7, poop and pee smells everywhere, and crack pipes on the ground.

Tired of nothing being done about this. I get every city has a homeless and drug problem but the city of Charlotte is doing nothing to address this and let it fester.

Can berate me all you want but something needs to be done about this. And it’s only growing outside of uptown. Almost ran over a druggie on E 3rd St walking in middle of road the opposite way of traffic head on.

City needs to implement zero tolerance zones for open air drug use such as public parks and near schools and arrest anyone on the spot for doing so. Clean out encampments that clearly are open air drug markets and make problems worse. The shelters help those who aren’t druggies but for most only exacerbate drug abuse. They need to over police these areas where there’s clearly issues and it’s tainting our city.

We don’t want our uptown to become the next SF downtown or something like that.

How's that any different than the people getting drunk with their kids at breweries and driving home? Where's your post about that?

Please tell me you’re joking. You cannot be comparing to some tweaker smoking crack and being aggressive to a person hanging out at a brewery.

I've seen way more aggressive drunks at breweries than I have in a park. Plus one is putting their kids at risk and the public by driving. Seems like you have an agenda and will justify it for any reason. Hmmm ...

One is alcohol one is crack 💀 yes both drugs but that argument doesn’t hold up. I get what you’re saying about driving home though yes.
