I find it disheartening to learn that, some years ago, I too experienced homelessness and resided in the mentioned area briefly, among other locations. It is truly disheartening to realize that individuals in similar circumstances often seem to lack both logical reasoning and respect for the community and its homeowners.
My sincere apologies go out to the family that has endured this unnecessary stress affecting their lives, homes, and property.
To clarify, in my opinion, the reluctance of law enforcement to enter encampments is primarily due to concerns about potential ambushes. There exists a certain level of uncertainty when entering such camps, with variables like the number of occupants, their mental states, and the possible presence of weapons. I am not suggesting that this serves as a legitimate excuse for limited or no contact with these encampments; it most certainly does not. However, it appears to be used as a justification. It's worth noting that the fire department tends to have more frequent interactions, typically when responding to fires, at which point they usually provide some form of guidance on the circumstances that warrant their intervention.
As for the police and their presence, I cannot provide factual insights into why they do not employ more enforcement or engage with individuals on-site. Personally, I believe there may be procedural flaws and a general lack of duty in this regard. If three different organizations can make regular personal contact with these individuals every week, without proper gear or means of defense, then the police should be capable of doing the same. Perhaps it's a matter of their approach; it's challenging to say for certain. However, the homeowners who have suffered due to these shortcomings in the system deserve better support from their community and city.
