Appallingly, shelters are sometimes even erected under the windowsills of the police station building.

With many of the after-hours complaints falling outside of the purview of the police and municipal law enforcement only operational during office hours, these community members feel powerless. Whereas the residents feel empathy for the homeless seeking shelter there, they said it's not as much their presence as the mess they make and the occasional criminality that have locals hot under the collar.
