problems with human waste and disease with rats. also with fires started by campfires or cooking stoves. still homeless advocates say if the city is cleaning up the unpopulated side, it'll make it harder to deliver services to people who depend on them. >> this is a back handed way of doing, accomplishing the same thing, by putting a fence around here. the people have no way to have access to this area. and then they cannot feed the people down below. at the same time, the people down below won't be able to come up and get fed. they're forced to go elsewhere to get fed. >> reporter: city officials did respond saying that they will continue to provide access to all organizations working with the city's homelessness response team. the last time there was a clean up of this sort, folks had to be notified in writing so they can gather their things and take them elts where. a lot of folks left the area, waited for the bulldozers and the dumpsters to be gone, then they moved right back in. this is considered one of the biggest homeless encampments in
