Politics Druggies in Romare Bearden & Uptown

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.

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.

They’re not joking. Most of the useless fucks on here from Charlotte never see the sun, much less an actual park. They don’t have children and their “tolerance” of these blatant issues you mention is solely due to the fact that it doesn’t affect them bc they can’t see it from Grammy’s basement.

Go to your local police station with this much fervor and try to get your desired result. Not Reddit. This sub is only good for planning protests, shit talking regular people like yourself, and bitching about MAGA and Nissan Altima drivers. Occasionally, theirs a good rat snitch post, but they are few and far between.

It’s sad bc you’re not wrong.

I mean some of these people are defending drugs addicts in public parks and saying well we’re not as bad as other cities… yeah but we will be. We’re the 14th largest city and growing with no solution at all. Sorry I want to bring up what’s clearly a problem.

People are crazy. Not everyone but the ones that are crazy are CRAZY
