Anyone else live very close to a large homeless camp?

I hope this post doesn't get too controversial, but it's getting to a point where I no longer want to work in my garden when I'm home alone. More people have been approaching our home lately. Me, my partner, and even his mom on separate occasions have been asked for things. We've had multiple things stolen, mostly small, but with kids things get left outside.

Do you have a homeless camp within a block or two of your home, and if so, how do you deal with it?

[u/Duplicate_Recessive]

Yes! We're in the same boat. Also have kids and totally get it. The camp by our home is very established and we do know some of the people, but we haven't had any problems until more recently.

What area are you in?

I thought I answered this here, but you've asked a few times. Caraleigh area. It sounds like op might be in that general area too.

Why did you let it get established

What kind of question is this?? Lol. Just for funsies, how do YOU take down local homeless camps?

I recently saw a video where a few dozen tractors sprayed some potent fertilizer across land to get rid of a bunch of trespassers on private property. I am sure there are many ways to encourage certain folks to move along.

That’s literally treating people like roaches.
