Real crimes -- real police!

I also live in this community and have also had run ins with these homeless thugs living inside these garages. They try and intimidate property owners back into thier homes.
Code Enforcement says it can't do anything because it has to wait for Due Process to first happen.
These squatters have more rights than property tax payers is what the city has told me.

Lots of vehicle and foot traffic at all hours of the day.
Garbage everywhere and the smell is awful and fighting can be heard day and night.
Cars are being lived in and blocking the alley access.
Prostitution is seen visible by children in the neighborhood and needles also are being found.

This issue is has not been resolved. It has gotten worse. Drug dealers on both ends of the alley.

Smells of human feces and uranating up and down the alley and surrounding areas.
Personal property is now being stolen in broad daylight.
Someone please help.

What more can you ask from our police department?

From where I stand on St Vincent's Hill, I don't see too much fixing, And anyone who was really watching our neighborhood would know that!

There is monthly St. Vincent's Hill neighborhood meeting that neighbors can join and work together. Usually the 4th Wednesday evening 6:30 pm at HUB. Face to face meeting is the first step to solve any problem.

"Face to face meeting is the first step to solve any problem."

Exactly how do you get face to face with someone who's taking a dump in your backyard? You gonna invite them down to the HUB for something herbal?

Clarification:

Not talking about inviting offenders.

Several residents are impacted by this. Is there a meeting among all neighbors to meet and talk about what to do? Social media (e.g. Nextdoor..) can raise awareness but people need to meet to work together.

Often no one is calling a meeting, or people are interest to meet but can not find a place to meet. My comment is "There is a meeting scheduled every month at a location which is already secured (you don't need to reserve or pay)" you can take advantage of that.
