Mystery Boulders Appear in LA Neighborhood, Likely Used to Deter Homeless People

Heavy boulders are blocking the entrance to a Los Angeles park. No one has admitted to placing them there, but residents seem to know why. Homeless people once created encampments here, but a 2021 municipal code made it illegal to “sit, lie or sleep in or upon any street, sidewalk or other public way.” KCBS reports neighbors complained about the unhoused campers and that a private citizen likely put these boulders out as a deterrent.
