We have that problem with ducks. A couple of idiots in our neighborhood feed them, so they **** all over everyone's driveways and carports.
Woman hounded by up to 100 raccoons

In this case I have to kind of sympathize with the raccoons because they didn't do anything wrong. This lady's been feeding them longer than some of them have been alive and in their minds that's how the world works. Unfortunately, I'm sure they're going to have to kill the raccoons because they're a threat to all the people around her.
There was a lady who lived on the west side of Colorado Springs who used to feed bears in her backyard. She may still do it I haven't heard of her dying. Apparently she fed the Bears in the backyard and she left her kitchen slider open so they could come and go in her kitchen as they please.
She got caught because a utilities worker came out to read her meter and walked into her backyard and found several bears eating Wonder Bread.

She implies it got bad all of a sudden six weeks ago.
I call Bravo Sierra. In my opinion, their aggression was escalating as their growing population competed for the same quantity of food on which she had conditioned them to rely for generations.

You'd figure a woman of her age would have learned by now that you reap what you sow.
A few years ago I was watching this guy on YouTube who liked to handfeed swarms of raccoons raw hotdogs. My thought was that one of these days the raccoons will be eating him...

It's only a matter of time before Distemper sets in and thins them out. The problem then becomes that Distemper crosses the species barrier and the neighbors animals can/will die as a result.
Many years ago, when the fur market tanked, the number of Raccoons we saw in, on or around the highways increased because the populations skyrocketed. It didn't take long before we started seeing sick Raccoons everywhere. I called our local Dept of Wildlife Headquarters, concerned that we might have a rabies outbreak on our hands and their Biologist had already confirmed a large number of Distemper cases in the local colonies.

The Dr. came in, wreaking of gin, only to find Gideons bible. He said Rocky you met your match; Rocky said No doc it's only a scratch and I'll be better I'll be better as soon as I am able........
Racoons once fed are incredibly persistent. They never forget where they got an easy meal.
Well you can't blame the raccoons !
Oh this takes me back! I needed a drink of water on a midnight hunt one night deep in the Arkansas Ozark's. I took a swig from the "water" in my uncle's mason jar! It wasn't water it was PURE FIRE!!!! My uncle laughed about that until the day he died. He asked me on his death bed, "John, remember when you got thirsty on that coon hunt. . . ?"
There are few things in life more beautiful than a pack of fine hounds baying in the moon light up deep in the Ozarks.

12 gauge and a few boxes of buckshot should do the trick. Of course, there'll be quite a mess to clean up.

We have at least four raccoons roaming the neighborhood, but I see them only at night. We do not feed them, but they do get into our back yard and drink out of our two bird baths. They are all fairly large, so someone must be feeding them. We live close to a large and heavily wooded city park, and they probably live there most of the time.
I trap and shoot them where I live. They can do a lot of destruction.
OP
That's too close for comfort! I've had them on my property but they stay on the fringes and away from the house. My neighbour - who has several alpacas as she's into fibre - had a momma and two cubs down by her studio a few years ago. Took no interest in the animals but could smell the bags of feed she keeps in an old chest freezer. Momma wanted to show the kids how it was done and said, "Hold my beer (bear?) and watch this" and set to attacking the freezer, which had half a dozen 40 lb. bags in it but secured with a latch. She rassled the freezer and moved it away from the wall but eventually gave up and they moved on.
I've seen this on a t-shirt

Close, but no cigar!
Now, the doctor came in, stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said, "Rocky, you met your match"
And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch"
And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able
Now, Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's Bible (oh, dou-dou-dou)
Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt (ooh Rocky, ooh)
To help with good Rocky's revival, aah
Yeah, yeah
