Question/Recommendation 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?

Maybe we shouldn’t have decided to not enforce laws

Who decided that?

The Raleigh City Council has told police officers not to clear out homeless encampments even though there are laws on the books making them illegal. You can't just go live on public land or private land you dont own.

Do you have a source for that?

Absolutely. "We shall enforce the laws that WE want to."

BLM and anti-cop protests probably wont have any downstream effect 🥴
