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?

Thanks for your helpful comment, please explain how the statistics are misleading or wrong.

The study mentioned in the article you linked involved 18 million adults in... wait for it... California. That state is a complete anomaly - VERY different than the rest of the country. Talking about "research" and then linking propaganda is wildly comical. Take a hike, numbskull.

So because the study is from CA it’s propaganda? Got it. Currently hiking to get as high as possible to understand that logic. You could provide an alternative study that possibly shows different results but instead you stoop to insults.
