these people have done this before, about a month ago and caused $25,000 worth of damage. protesters say they believe people have a right to take over empty buildings, making a statement about the housing crisis in our country now. police disagree saying this is trespassing and are currently making their arrests. that area is blocked off, wide city blocked by police officers traffic here is impacted. i just checked in with the officers to find out about how long this would be going on because of course gough is a major thoroughfare for people trying to get to the highway. he's estimating about 45 minutes but paused and had to think about that so he's not sure this may impact your morning commute to get more details on how to get around we are going to toss it to frances dinglasan. >> a lot of folks use gough head to 101 southbound towards 101. here's amy at the scene of gough and turk.
