I need advice...

Homeless people tend to bring other problems with them like addictions and communicable diseases. Call your village hall and get the name and number of the department or individual that handles housing. Tell them your problem and ask that they get involved. Keep calling the police, because the wheel that squeaks is the one that gets the oil. Ask for more frequent police presence in the area.

How about this - find the biggest dog you know, record him barking, and play it loudly and often.

ok that was freaky, I swore I had lost my mind... I read your old last sentance & thought to myself... I don't recall her having a dog named Bear... Then I come back to the page seconds later to reread it & its totally different HAHAHAHA :P

I could record Bear barking & snarling.. its easy to get her to do it without me making any noise... but it might scare the heck out of her poor kitties lol Bear sounds like shes going to KILL me, when I play with her, but its just her Rottie voice
Edit: Chad thought she was attacking me cause of how DEEP her bark & snarling it...

I'll make the recording, then I'll let someone edit it to make it a random loop that can be burned onto a CD.. anyone use it, I don't care, esp if it can help someone out

I have a similar situation in San Francisco with the homeless. I call the police department at least once a week on a group who camp out in front of my apartment building. They do keep track of how many complaints they get - I guess once they get enough complaints they actually roust them out. Unfortunately for us, the homeless keep coming back. The people in my apartment building are getting to know the police officers pretty well, and they now know us too. The officers always tell me to just keep calling.

I've been in my rent-controlled apartment for almost 30 years and have no plans to move; it's more than that old fear of financial insecurity I really to like my apartment, my neighbors and the neighborhood.

I see you're planning to stay - good for you. Just take it one day at a time and call the police on them every day if you have to.

I have no advice really, but it seems a darn shame that apartment
management can't keep the building from becoming a parking space for
people who don't live there. Charitable thoughts aside, it is not safe to
live like that.
