Playa Vista community in Torrence, CA is a privately owned hillside that is now currently beefing up their security and access by erecting a 6-ft-wall to deter trespassers, wandering animals, and even kids who make use of mattresses to slide down to the hillside.

The changes came after people repeatedly ignored and removed new signs posted in the area, he added. “We were hearing from several people who live (at the top of) the bluffs and who walk on the road,” he said. “There were even kids getting on mattresses and sliding down the bluffs. … We had tried more passive ways to let people know what the rules were and to abide by the rules, and that didn’t work.”

Some residents aren’t too happy about the perimeter fence though.
