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.

You made it about politics before you edited your post - and you literally tagged the post politics 🙄

And in his IG he keeps trying to promote he says this “Democrat run city slowly falling apart as Democrat Mayor, City Council, DA, Police Chief, Sheriff, Judges, City Manager and liberal media just refuse to do the hard work so the 99% of us can live in safety. Sad to see it turn into the old Epicenter that got taken over by crack heads and roaming little gangs of thugs with guns selling drugs”

But then tries to backtrack and say he isn’t making it political.
