This is a city issue also, the homeless in the area is a huge problem.

I've lived on 3rd Ave S for 5 years and thought the area would improve but it's gotten much worse.
I had to call the police several times last week, on my camera I saw the homeless urinate by my front door 3 times, then two homeless people changing clothes and one guy hiding by my door smoking something.
And the amount of trash from the homeless is ridiculous, I have four beer cans and lotto tickets thrown in my yard on any given day.
It's become unbearable to live in this area.
Something has got to be done, I should have to live like this!!!!

Thank you for reporting this. I have asked our homeless street outreach team to go by this location to offer their assistance to anyone they find in need of help. If willing to accept help, our outreach team will get them connected to shelter, housing, meals, medical care, substance abuse treatment and other services they may be in need of. I also referred this to our Police Department and asked them to monitor this location at all hours of the day, including evening and early morning hours. Should they encounter anyone, they will also offer their help, including free transportation to shelter. We will continue to monitor this area to offer our assistance to anyone in need of help, as well as enforce local ordinances. Thank you again for reporting this to us.
