1st, the powers that be here, must realize this is a massively growing problem, not just here, but literally everywhere.
"The bubble" is not and will not be immune.
I can, (as others here probably can as well) tell you from my 1st hand experience living near Seattle and as a former LEO, just how badly this problem can explode when decisive, corrective & preventative action is not taken. The passive approach will not work. It never has.

This apparent lack of a preemptive plan &/or preventative action, leaves us - as a community - very ill prepared. This is not good.

I can say this much, (again):
There is clearly a breech/means of access on the far south end of the villages.
The perimeter fence that borders the turnpike and the many sections of golf courses in this area, is a complete joke and stops no one.
I am personally seeing too many transient types on foot, directly coming from that area - for it to just be random.
If they set root here, and word gets out among them (& it will) their numbers will grow substantially, so will random crime, a reduce feeling of safety and a whole host of other related unpleasantries.
It will take much more effort to correct it then...
This needs to get nipped in the bud ASAP.
