Peter Mozgo has lined up roughly 140 makeshift planter boxes outside his business.

Why? To prevent homeless people from pitching tents outside his business. latimes.com/local/lanow/la…
Many residents and business owners are frustrated by the growing homelessness crisis — and the city’s often uneven response to it. So as the city struggles to clear encampments, many are taking matters into their own hands.
So far, the obstacles like fences and planters have been effective. Even so, the planters contribute to a feeling of homeless people not being welcomed — here or anywhere. latimes.com/local/lanow/la…

I can't believe it's already been almost 3 years since this case was 1st filed. It's the one I became most immersed in when I first got to @latimes and the legal issues involved in it have been at the heart of much of my reporting here with colleagues.
