A group of residents in San Francisco have come up with a novel solution to inhibit homeless people from camping on their residential street: placing roughly 25 boulders on the sidewalk.

Clinton Park in the city’s Mission Dolores neighborhood has been plagued by homeless people; one resident told KTVU, “They’ll shoot up and stay overnight. A bunch of my neighbors, we all chipped in a few hundred dollars and I guess this is what they came up with.” Another resident added, “Since the rocks, it has helped,” neighbor Ernesto Jerez told KTVU. “It’s something. We’ve got to do something. I feel like there is nothing being done.”
