A judge had temporarily blocked those plans, telling Oakland officials they needed to offer a place for the residents to live while they start construction.

Oakland recently constructed portables up the street and says it can now start housing people -- thus leading to the judge planning to lift the order.

"I am really still kind of speechless," said Freeway Blalock, a resident of the encampment. "The judge had the opportunity to do right thing, and they failed to do so, so now it is our opportunity to step up and show everybody why we are holding down the fort."
