Encampment has started in our downtown SS neighborhood

How were their belongings able to stay in the apartment when the couple was evicted?

Have you never seen an eviction?

I haven’t. I assumed the landlord disposed of the belongings so they could rent the apartment to someone else. It seems odd that their belongings are allowed to stay in the apartment.

Sounds like the problem isn’t homeless people living in a tent. It’s people drinking in public (illegal?), making lots of noise (noise violation?), pooping in public, littering diarrhea shorts (illegal?), and having pants down in public (illegal). The issue isn’t where the people are living but how they are behaving. And yet people get riled up about the idea that police should be contacted.

The belongings get tossed on the curb

Wow that is many encampments!

The property where they are camping belongs to someone. Allowing trespassers there is creating a nuisance. Nuisance is actionable.

And as PP’s have said, call the police every time. Public drinking is unlawful. Public camping in non-designated areas is unlawful. Public disposal of bodily fluids, etc., is unlawful. Littering is unlawful. Don’t stop with the patrol officer. Keep escalating.

Complain to the landlord. In writing.

You mean like the completely unused / underutilized ghost town space of a "workhouse" in Lorton where the artsy fartsy folks ridiculously pretend they are creating something of value? At tax payer expense? Please.

Title is misleading --- encampment hasn't started in a "neighborhood" but rather on a specific property where the OP and her neighbors are too dumb to know to call police. OP and her neighbors thought that by giving handouts and not calling people, the problem would somehow solve itself on its own -- but OP never explains this glorious logic.
