And who will pay for these homes? Not the people who couldn't afford them in the first place?

Way to show you represent the working class by stopping the working class from working. I know someone is going to post about the Tea Party in response so before that happens please stay on topic. This occupy movement is anarchy.

A. Apparently you are unfamiliar with strikes and boycotts because that's what they do too.

B. Those longshoremen will get paid. The same amount of freight moves through that port whether it is today or tomorrow.

C. Your definition of anarchy is more befitting a 3rd world dictator than a democracy. People picket.

I like th idea that they are moving people back in to foreclosed homes

I remember back in the late 1980s when I was protesting Apartheid in South Africa. I supported the divestment movement and encouraged US corporations to pull out of South Africa. The counter argument was always, "But these corporations try to make conditions better for black South Africans. If they leave, things will even be worse." In the end, divestment was an effective tool and while it may have increased suffering in the short term (and even that is debatable), it helped improve things in the long term. The same is true here. You can limit you focus to the jobs being temporarily halted -- and this is probably one of the rare circumstances that the OP ever cared about unionized labor -- or you could look at the bigger picture.

Why is this movement anarchy?

Ever heard of the 1st amendment?
