AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A tent community in a heavily wooded area at Mabel Davis District Park in southeast Austin is raising some concerns for people in the area. "There's so much potential here and when you allow things to keep people from coming here, like the homeless people, it really ruins my neighborhood and it kind of sucks," Sonny Thomas, a life-long southeast Austin resident, said. Thomas grew up right next to the park and still goes to it as much as he can. He saw the park go from a rundown look to the nice park it is today, equipped with a skate park and a public pool. He now organizes community events at the park with his next event coming up right before Halloween this year with a skating competition for kids. He wants to see the homeless population removed from the park area. Safety concerns "They're creating problems. They caught the woods on fire over here. They found a dead homeless person just a month ago," Thomas explained. A person was found dead in the park on July 20...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Should Neighbor Throw Scooped Poop From His Dog In MY Trash?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:31 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Alexandria and it's about dogs and picking up after them. Here's her email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. Here's my social dilemma. Is it right for a dog owner to walk onto your property and throw their dog ‘droppings’ (even if it’s bagged) into your trash can? My family member does it when he walks his dogs and doesn’t think it’s wrong. I find it annoying since left in the heat it can smell, plus I don’t want it in my trash-it's not my pet and you are walking up to the side of my house to dispose of it. Thoughts? AlexandriaI don't think it's right. No one should be walking on your property to throw anything away. If the can was at the end of the road and it was garbage day and the trash was yet to be picked up, then go for it, but any other time, I say no way. What do you think? Let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
