AUSTIN – North Austin residents living near Lamar and Payton Gin, Rundberg and Interstate 35 are finding themselves in a debate over what to do about what they say is a growing homeless population.

Several residents living in the Georgian Acres area sent KVUE pictures of homeless camps and piles of trash left behind, a phenomenon neighbors say they first started seeing in October 2014.

I wouldn't want loads of homeless living next to my house though. Can't they find a more isolated spot?

There are no isolated spots really. Counties and States play whack a mole, as the police simply move the homeless problem from one community to another.

I bet the owners of that house are tempted to play whack a mole alright.

Americans are convinced that the homeless are basically decent people temporarily down on their luck. Until they have to live with the homeless.
