The planters appear to be bolted to the city streets in Playa Vista behind a Home Depot in an area popular with people who live in their vehicles.

Parking in Los Angeles can be notoriously difficult, usually because of a crush of traffic or confusing signs filled with byzantine restrictions on days and hours. But for those experiencing homelessness and living in their vehicles, the challenges are compounded with overnight parking bans that can lead to tickets or locals taking matters into their own hands. And according to homeless advocates, that's just what happened last week in Playa Vista.

That accounts for about 1,200 more vehicles than in the previous year and more vehicles than the county has spaces to provide for under its Safe Parking LA program. When sanitation crews cleared the area last week, homeless advocate and UCLA sociology doctoral candidate Sam Lutzker was there as part of his work, documenting the lives of people living in vehicles in Council District 11.
