This group of San Francisco neighbors came up with their own solution after they say the city wouldn't help with the local homeless and drug dealer problems, according to CNN affiliate KGO
The group has been going to city meetings and filing reports with the city for six months, according to KGO, but they haven't had any luck.After a turf war one night, one of the residents told KGO the neighbors had had enough."It got to the point where everybody was just done," the person told KGO."People had knives and guns and people were out fighting, carrying on and waking up people in the neighborhood.
"Homelessness is reaching an emergency level in Los AngelesThrough Facebook, the neighbors organized and raised more than $2,000 for the boulders, according to KGO."I don't know if it's a long-term solution, but at least in the short term, they seems to be working in keeping the tents off the sidewalk," Lisa McEachron, who works in the area, told CNN.Another neighbor who did not want to be identified told CNN they like the boulders.
