The following excerpt is from CPR for Skid Row v. City of L.A., 779 F.3d 1098 (9th Cir. 2015):
A content-neutral time, place, or manner restriction on speech is narrowly tailored if it does not burden substantially more speech than is necessary to achieve a substantial government interest.... [T]he existence of obvious, less burdensome alternatives is a relevant consideration in determining whether the fit between ends and means is reasonable. Berger v. City of Seattle, 569 F.3d 1029, 1041 (9th Cir.2009) (internal citations, quotation marks, and modifications omitted). CPR argues that 403 is not narrowly tailored because it applies to expressive conduct, no matter how momentary, and sweeps within its breadth large amounts of protected speech.
