Los Angeles has designated a golf course as mountain lion habitat in a move that blocks a proposed housing project on the site. The decision, reported by the Orange County Register, is drawing debate over whether wildlife protection is being used to stop development, and it touches on the city's broader struggles with housing shortages and the conservation of cougars in the Santa Monica Mountains area.
