No one who lives in the area that spoke to CBSLA knew who was responsible for putting the boulders on the sidewalk along Westmoreland Avenue
In an effort to keep homeless encampments from sprouting up, someone in a Koreatown neighborhood placed boulders on the sidewalk.The walkway and access driveway to Shatto Park was blocked by 26 boulders that neighbors in the area said showed up after a homeless encampment was cleaned out. While advocates for the unhoused said actions like these limit where homeless people can sleep at night, some neighbors said it’s much safer this way.
“I feel distraught because I don’t know what happened to these people, if they’re better off or worse off, if they got the resources that they might need,” Campos said. “Yeah, very much, much better,” neighbor Jay Yoon said when asked if it’s better without the homeless living on the sidewalk.
