People do this in my neighborhood. But they don't have signs.

I've heard of this before only I've heard it referred to as "positive loitering." They do it from time to time in a neighborhood here called Uptown where teenage gang thuglets, mentally unstable drugged-out zombies, and Starbucks-gulping BMW-driving yuppies live elbow-to-elbow. The lattermost group uses positive loitering as a way to signal to the formermost group that they will not be intimidated out of the neighborhood while the middle group tries to hit up both for spare change.
