   SEATTLE — Seniors who live in an apartment complex in south Seattle say   
   the city's efforts to clear nearby homeless encampments have pushed people   
   living in RVs to move right next to their building.   
      
   No parking signs went up last week along Myers Way in the Delridge   
   neighborhood, where RV encampments lined the street. The city enforced the   
   closure, but neighbors say the people living in the RVs moved around the   
   corner into the parking lot of a Metro 'park and ride'.   
      
   “They moved them from that street, and they just came up and pulled their   
   vehicles, their trailers, their accouterments right here," said Diane   
   Radischat, who lives at the Arrowhead Gardens apartments. "So now we have   
   to essentially start all over. People once again don't feel safe to come   
   out."   
      
   Residents at Arrowhead Gardens are no strangers to issues with homeless   
   encampments - Radischat led the charge last year to push the city of   
   Seattle and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to close   
   down a sprawling homeless encampment in a forest between Myers Way and SR   
   509.   
      
   “I’m sure they’re tired of hearing from me again, and they are going to be   
   tired of hearing from me until they live up to what they committed to,"   
   Radischat told KOMO News. "All we want you to do is live up to the   
   commitments you made to us so we can live in a safe home."   
      
   Neighbors have reported hearing fights in the encampment and generators   
   running all night. Several residents have reported car burglaries, and a   
   car was stolen from their parking garage last week.   
      
   “It’s horrendous that after putting up with that encampment over there for   
   years, now we’ve got them in the backyard," said Patrice Cox, who lives at   
   Arrowhead Gardens. Cox and other residents say issues in the neighborhood   
   spike when encampments form.   
      
   “Now I’m to the point where I’ve got to move. I don’t feel safe here,"   
   resident Herb Egge told KOMO News.   
      
   Egge was the victim of a car burglary last year and thieves also stole his   
   car's catalytic converter. After the thefts, someone else came and drained   
   his gas tank.   
      
   “Just for the gas tank alone to have the gas tank replaced was $800,” Egge   
   said.   
      
   KOMO News reported last month that several Metro shuttle busses had their   
   gas tanks tapped and empties in the same parking lot.   
      
   “Our garden hose was used for the stealing of the gasoline," Radischat   
   said. “For the longest time when it was cleaned up and the encampment was   
   gone and there was no parking on the streets -everything was nice and   
   peaceful and quiet. The,slowly, as this group has come and stayed over   
   this last amount of time, we’ve noticed once again property damage."   
      
   Radischat and Cox said they have reached out to officials with the Seattle   
   Department of Transportation and hope outreach teams and the city can   
   quickly connect people in the encampment to resources.   
      
   “I could not believe it was starting up again. We would love to see them   
   gone tonight,” Cox said.
