"I can't say that they are completely homeless because they were offered a place to live two years ago when they started this and they refused to go," Maryann Buggie said.

Now, the homeless tents are going up again. One of the camps is set up directly behind one person's house and he can see it from his backyard.

"If this were your home where you left and you left a mess in your yard like this, your neighbors would be calling and complaining," Buggie said.
