Kensington-New Documentary (Levittown, Bristol, Newtown: real estate, houses, to buy)

[jazzy jeff]

This Doc is about an hour long, and very interesting. Gives a brief history on Kensington and talks about how Levittown in Bucks County had a role in its downfall. Something I never had heard about. It goes into the drug trade, and talks about gentrification. Can not confirm the accuracy of the stated facts in the doc, but still a worth while watch.

When did I imply the druggies were supplying information to the host of this documentary? Watch it. It is not the typical youtubers type Kenzo vlog.

But it is. I watched a few minutes on a few parts. It suggests that the reason Kensington is so “bad” is that outside forces “want real estate prices to go down so investors can take over!”. That’s heinously stupid and disconnected from reality completely.

YouTube is a hive of cultural rot

Did you see the the meeting with the 2 guys that control the tranq trade in the city? Cartel driven, and what happens to dealers who do not play by their rules? Starts about 10 mins into the video.

I'm always sceptical about the drug dealers/criminals on these Vice-type documentaries. They're entertaining as heck, but why would these people share their secrets with the world (even if they are all covered up)?

There's no secret undercover gangster kings living like Al Capone. They're fat losers living with their moms in dumpy little houses driving around dodge chargers on dirty streets. third world losers who don't know anything about anything other than drugs are addictive. Filth.

I haven't watched this to hear exactly what they said, but Levittown and the surrounding area down to Bristol has had a big problem with opioids for many years.

That may then be where they end up if/when the city gets serious about rehabbing the area.

The mention of Levittown in the doc was the journalists claim that the development of Levittown was what started the white flight from Kensington. His claim was that Levittown was the go too place for the whites looking to move out. The Levittown homes were considerably cheaper to buy then in other suburban communities.
