I lived at GAFB as a teen in the 70's,and years later I revisted that area. I was amazed at all of the development. Where there was desert, now is wall to wall housing. Very sad.
i used to tell people.."the fire department knows where your home is" .. i dont know that anymore.. i recommend the chicks stop having babies.. this is not a rehearsal
Victorville After Goegre A.F.B. what economy did they have? Welfare unemployment hand outs are not jobs. They produce next to nothing in that area. They expect 350k per home, who's got a job that pays that. A bad place to develope nothing but death valley look a like! The bank could have sold them at a loss but chose to inflate the housing market by tearing them down. Don't think it will work, production of nothing= no jobs!
C'mon California, wise up. Legalize weed. You'd be the richest state in the U.S, but because some believe weed to be such a demon, you'd much rather have your homes foreclosed on. And now, you're not even getting your houses completed before the banks are foreclosing, and ripping them down. I should send you some B.C. Bud to smoke as you sit and watch your life's investments getting pulled away from underneath you. It'd be great, you'd just sit there and laugh.
It seems like the city is forcing the issue on code when no one can put money into them. Well, now I guess the city won't get the property taxes either.. Stupid rules with no logic..
To squander the resources that went into those homes is abhorrent. This remedy shows that something in the system is broken, TARP is looking worse and worse all the time. The fact that they had to place executive salary caps after the fact goes to show that the whole thing wasn't well thought out. Teh willingness of the government to bail out sectors at the drop of a hat has created a no fear mentality to investing. Bush pushed this through in his last 3 months in office, his final FU.
I used to live in Victorville (and prior to that Hesperia)... and I saw that coming years ago, back when bases like George AFB were shut down... they caused the collapse of the economy in their respective towns, which only spread outward and multiplied in devastation. I left the desert about 15 years ago... and unfortunately, I'm seeing the exact same trends out in the East Coast as what happened there. I'd like to get out again before another collapse happens... but there's nowhere left to run.
this is absolutely ridiculous how stupid do they have to be to not know they could profit up to 100% more just by leaving the homes on the lots and selling the lots like that???? of COURSE they know you guys! they don't want you to HAVE houses so you're easier to dispose of. lot easier to kill and erase a homeless vagrant than it is a man with a house and a family.
mot a surprise....... since american quality homes are made of frame....only sticks instead of real concrete.....goood demolishe all and start building real houses
Our bank bailout tax dollars at work building homes then destroying them when there finished. I don't know about you but im glad the government takes 30% of my pay check for this.....! ( sarcasm )
Truly a sign of things to come. Government will begin this to move entire populations so they can be better controlled. Water supplies will be controlled, too.
You squeaked on the operator of the machine...he will now lose his job. You did him in after he gave you information. You could have said "I have learned other homes are to be destroyed" and kept it confidential. Ever hear of Karma?
The bank that did this was shut down this year by the FDIC (this video is from back in April 2009). That bank is gone. That backhoe operator doesn't normally tear down houses for a living.
good thing they destroyed them .... they should have not been built anyways ..... empty homes like that attract crime .... my city tears down homes everyday ...... for the simple fact that it attracts crime ..... but what a waste of materials .....
People complained when he made videos talking about religion, so he made a new channel called Christian Red Pill to devote to issues of faith.
THEN he created a channel called VictoryIndependence that deals other things that don't fit the VisionVictory economic channel (like preparedness, gardening, etc)
I live near these places...(and this was posted in April...so why the link to LGF now?) and they were a blight. VV's mistake was allowing builders to overbuild the area originally, causing a massive tip in our local real estate market.
Environmentalists, if they ever had an argument, should have made it about 2004...not when these were being torn down.

its crazy to read that someone would actually logically think that land would be worth more w/o houes on it. i dont care if someone smeared human shit all over the walls of those houses. you can still clean it up and fix it up. knocking the whole fucking thing down and throwing it away is like throwing money away. how could you think that the property is more w/o the houses? a house it self is value, shit condition or not. no research required about that. that mentality is very dangerous
It is really sad to see all of these comments based on pure emotions. Unfortunatly, this is business! Those houses were unable to be inhabited. They were torn apart and destroyed by homeless and people stealing all of the "gutts" of the houses. All you can see is one house, and the outside no less. Before you judge, become educated about the situation. FYI: Guaranty Bank did NOT take and TARP money...
Maybe you all should do your research before you get on your high horse and think you know the situation. 1. None of the homes we actually completely finished.2. Homeless and squaters were living in them, lowering the value by the minute.3. because they werent complete, people we coming in and taking things from the houses ie: appliances, carpet, windows, doors...you name it, they took it. 4. the property that the houses were built on...is worth more without the houses on it! Do your research!
heo87: There is still NO excuse for sending useable shit to a land fill. If your claims r true you could of let people salvage the materials. Your lack of compassion and failure to see the human side of this makes your organzation one that will soon be bankrupt and you will be unemployed. good luck to you. I can think of one less place you might be able to seek shelter should you find yourself homeless which seems likely if you have anything to do with a business that makes decisions like these.
There was an unsustainable building frenzy in Victorville. Prices have now dropped 50%. A home sold for $325K four years ago is now on the market for $175. Prices should never have gone so high, and wouldn't have, if the bankers had done what they were supposed to do - to make sure that people could afford these escalated prices. But banks were making money on the quantity of loans and then shuffling them on to Wall Street.
Just because some evil government fines them daily, they have to destroy it. How sick can it get. Whenever you see something of value being destroyed, you just no the government machine of coercion is not far away.
Why would a bank ever de-value property? This bank received bail out money. They were paid to de-value the land and to take homes off the market. This artifically keeps property value up. Your house never was nor will it ever be "worth" $400.000. Trying to hang on to the inflated value of your home is just putting more money in the banksters pockets. We need to return to actual asset figures or this will get worse. Just keep jacking up the price and soon we'll all be homeless.
There's something not right about the banks version of the story.
According to Guaranty Bank Real Estate Officer Dean Smith, the city of Victorville was fining the Bank on a daily basis because the homes were not up to code.
These are new homes, 4 of them completed & 12 still under construction. How could they NOT have been built to code?
Guaranty Bank is full of sh*t.
Rather than selling the homes at a loss, thus saving them, they decided to totally demolish so NO ONE could have them!
this place is a $%^_hole the high crime rate red light cameras hi murder rate ,gangs ,gangs,gangs,victorville and the high desert are $%^_holes,i know ive lived it
In the 1930's FDR required farmers to plow under their crows and pour good milk down the drain in order to keep prices up. This was at a time when the Population of the US was having a hard time marking ends-meet. The *waste* of valuable goods worked... prices were kept high, and people went without. This was Market Manipulation in a weird, psychotic kind of way. Thanks US Government! So the city was fining them, how about a Tax Credit to Sell them at cost? Naw.. Thats not Government.
They could "buy" it", but can they "maintain" it? Being a homeowner has never ending costs, higher utility bills than an apt. or small condo, landscaping, trash, water, property taxes and loads of never ending upkeep over the years painting, carpet, floors, roof, etc. Also don't forget that the appliances won't last forever. When your air conditioner, heater, washer, dryer, refrigerator, air filter, water filter, etc. breaks the homeowner has to pay for it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
we gave bush 8yrs for thisto happen an i say we because of the voting majority voted the guy in . now that obama is in we give him way less time come on man. we truely have become a nation of short sighted whiners.
Excuse me, but how some people can watch this and then blame "socialists" that you consider now in power is beyond me. You are the ones totally blinded by your ideology to see that it was private capital unleashed that created the mess. It's like all these people read Ayn Rand when you were 16 and never got over the fantasy that you were John Galt.
this is the result of global fraud pulled off by wall street banking on the order of hundreds of trillions of dollars, made possible by cooperation between washington and wall street banking. Capitalism does not say fraud is okay, this activity was not capitalist, it is activity of people who were permitted to act outside of the law.
You know you have to be fucking ignorant not to see that both dems and republicans are on the same side. Two heads on the same snake and until people like you understand that we will all be slaves to the government.
@polidic Will be slaves? Look around... they tell us school is free but we have to pay or go to jail, they tell us that we own land when we basically have to rent it or lose it kuz we didnt pay taxes, you have to go to Cort on the date no mater what happens or you go to jail, or even jury duty or you got to jail. They tax just about every thing including smokes. This is becoming communism.
You're right. That was pretty weak demoing, moving three 2x4's at a time with a backhoe. I could probably take the house down faster with a $100 dollar chainsaw and a $20 sledgehammer than he can with a $200,000 excavator. I'd say the operator sucks at demolishing as Bernanke does at.... whatever it is that Bernanke does.
For the amount of money the bank is paying the contractor to demo these homes, they have to put on some kind of a show. It's called 'Milking It'. More than likely a "time and materials" job.
I had to spend an entire day one time, digging a 6'x6'x6' hole with a backhoe on the government dime. A '15 minute' clean hole mind you.... My orders were,...scratch, scratch, scratch, 3/4 bucket scooped out,... then "inadvertently" drag 1/2 bucket back into the hole, each time back in.
If they are made of contractor grade materials like my house was made of, then it probably isn't worth saving anything. Older homes that were made with a lot of wood would be worth deconstructing.
It's a shame for most of L.A. isn't a safe, clean, spacious & affordable place. 50 years ago, most of the region wasn't suburban housing nor urban developed. My Mom was born/raised in Redondo (pre-yuppiefication) near L.A. & also grew up in Garden Grove in Orange county during the '60s, her home was right by cow pastures and strawberry fields (you can smell both of 'em). My Dad lived in what was countryside in east Orange in the 1970s but my parents met in then "sparsely populated" Indio Cal. +
Fake fed money at work, creating economic scarcity. People wake up american democracy is gone an it never was there. In a Technocracy style this would never happen. Check out technocracy here on youtube for more information.
I would not be caught dead in a house built by illegal mexicans ran by a shady general contractor, tear those damn firetraps down. To many times I have seen many what would have been fine homes if only the GC were such a scumbag getting cheap.
NO ONE CARES!! SO WHAT!. I asked my friend(Realtor) in L.A about this( I was born/raised in L.A and now Im living in Austin,TX) and he didnt know about the article and teardown of this subdivision. EVERYONE IN THE INDUSTRY IS MOVING ON....ITS JUST BUSINESS......yes, it sucks but thats the way it works, I guess.
Another bill for we the People to pick up, writing this off as "They were shitty", "They were in the boonies" is flat out stupid. What we are seeing here is another reason why our economy is so F&^%ed up!
400 to 500,000 residents in the boonies? Same applies to the Coachella valley, in the past 20-30 years the population of the Inland Empire is over 4 million now. I guess to drive north of Victorville is rural, but can't you imagine driving on I-15 and US 395 to be surrounded by houses or buildings? I'm reminded of Las Vegas or Phoenix or parts of the San Fernando valley instead of the "desert" I imagined. California is said to be more populated than the so-called "crowded" Northeast states. +
I strongly suspect this number is larger than zero... I would think another contractor could agree to fix the code violation in exchange for the right to purchase the homes something well below this price (but above the value of the land and utilities and extra daily fines until the code violation is remedied...). Then he could sell them below market and make a killing.
The market price of one of those homes should be the price it would ordinarily sell at less the cost of fixing the code violation (what was it by the way?).
Couldn't they have looked up the legal definition of "a house" and just performed a more minor alteration of the properties to prevent them from being fined?
That's disgusting, people are HOMELESS and beautiful places to live are being destroyed. Sick.
Can't anyone find it in their hearts to give these homes to somebody who needs it? Wait a second, the people who ordered the demolition in the name of greed have hearts, but they only care about money,
See this here folks, visionvictory is part of the new wave of NEW MEDIA. Where you see what is happening and not some spruced up, cut up ignored and sensationalized piece of media news entertainment.
Well if your friends lived in California, they'd be able to walk away and get out of it and not be liable for the full loan amount, and if they had a brain, they would put in for a re-assessment with the county to lower their tax bill.
Who cares, this is a business making business decisions. If it is not in their best interest to finish and sell, so be it. If you want one, buy the development. If you can't afford to then don't concern yourself with it.
Who cares? Whats the point here? Are you willing to put up your own money to "fix" this to your liking, or are you some liberal snob who wants my money to subsidize your grand scheme? Put up or shut up.
Snob? No way. I'm not rich but a center-left Democrat. Are the big businessmen in the GOP more elitist than the Demos of blue-collar origins? I'm not a big P.C. person either, though the Republicans seem to targeted minority home owners in those ridiculous mortgage loan rip-offs. I can out-left the Dems, out-right the Reps & may well fit in an independent 3rd-party if there is one that works in this country. I don't want your money, which is expected to devalue in a next wave of inflation. +
Last post: I don't have any dissing for the people or places in the High Desert or Sou. cal. I'm a southern Californian from the Palm Springs area, the city of Indio is treated as not only the fastest-growing area of Cal./USA/No. America, but a place known for youth gangs, foreclosed neighborhoods, poverty rates exceeding 50%, ethnic enclaves of Hispanic, black & white residents, and finally a low-wage economy. But, Indio is still a "cheap" place to live in comparison to the L.A. metro area. +
Also to note Victorville is a hideout for the KKK, neo-Nazis & extreme right wing, like militias preaching a "new biblical era" of women banned from voting, gay men are interned & a theocratic society where non-Christians are shunned like the women with scarlet letters in colonial America times. Sounds like from what I read on the area, it may be not a good place to live, work or raise a family. Victorville isn't a hotbed of crazies, druggies or gangsters, perhaps the desolation attracts them. +
...or like Apartheid of South Africa, a strict legal racial caste system to keep blacks apart from a white minority in charge. Is America gonna bounce back to legal segregation...if custom continued the practice all this time? Blacks here, Hispanics there, Asians only this, whites only that, etc. The idea of suburbia from the 1950's as a sign of conservative middle-American values (such as racial homogenity) reinforces racist ideals of what American people are, Sou. Cal. is racially divided. +
Victorville and the High Desert are said to be a real estate rip-off, the desolation & lack of economic structure, and the high crime rates (i.e. meth labs) are examples of the underclass from South L.A. made their homes there. The High desert is "Appalachia west" for sharing the same economic disparity alike the original region in the Southeast U.S. Middle-class suburbs are evolving into the "new slums" & "expanded ghettos" to indicate it's a very poor, socially divided & weakened community. +
I also worry about the intense racist & politically charged comments on here: on the "evil" liberals, black people, Hispanic immigrants, the Jews, the rich "elites", George W. Bush or Bill Clinton are criminals, etc. are frightening to read.
Is the USA no longer the world's land of opportunity? The symbol of a suburbian house, like the constitution, the soldier, the cowboy, the automobile & other pieces of Americana stands for stability & success. To watch a home bulldozed is scary to watch. +
The rude awakening of the American dream, the end of California's former reputation & what may be the death of the Western world. Many environmentalists are cheering for the bulldozing of home tracts, esp. in a region known for very dense suburban sprawl for the last 50 years and the population crunch it had on the state's drained social welfare coffers in a time the U.S. budget deficit is too high to be paid off. Victorville is nothing more than houses everywhere, but no real stable economy. +
Welp, Victorville can figure a way to make up for the lost revenue in property taxes by having the cheerleaders jump lanes on street corners begging for change.
But then again, theres always two sides to every story. Wonder what the city has to argue about this.
It is a shame to destroy housing - Clearly the bank could have recouped some other way. Like a previous comment - I wonder if they even tried to contact habitat for humanity or some other investors....and what is with these off the wall comments by dorks like curialec1 and rdatlag824 -- get a life !!

I heard about this about a week ago at my job, basically the guy who told me about it, said that the people on site doing the demo, are selling whole kitchen sets, appliances included, not only that but the building materials as well, It's kind of bad to know that the workers who are making money on the demo in the first place are making money on the side selling the stuff. It's the only reason I'm in this thread because I heard about this before. There's not just those 4 in victorville, more
Why didn't the bank just sell the unfinished development for a $1 or something to an investor? This is stupidity at its finest. Now City of Loserville will charge them more daily penalties for the pile of trash on site. Way to go, Guaranty Bank!
What do you call three women in one group in victorville?
answer: a full set of teeth !
Victorville held a beauty contest, and nobody won! Never seen so many ugly fuckers in my whole life. Victorville, home of the california bug eyed tweeker fuck. Real easy to spot ,they smell like ass, missing teeth, and they all got a story!
LOL! So true on all accounts. I used to drive through Methville on business once a week for 2 years. The only time I ever stopped in Methville was to get bottled water at a supermarket for my trip down I-40 into AZ. In the supermarket was a human collection of sucked in eyes & hollow cheeks. The walking dead.
The city of Victorville is an extreme disgrace to all humanity that has ever lived. Epic failure of the governments run by very incompetent people. Aren't we all so happy the feds past a porkuless bill early this year so we can witness more extreme waist ? Perfect homes being destroyed while the mayor of Jackson MS is prosecuted for tearing down a broken down crack house. What is happening to this country?
"In the same way count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master for you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:11-14).
Instead of working with the banks until someone actually bought the homes the idiot taxing authorities just reduced their income pool.
Oh, wait. Sounds like the idiot President and new Congress. Drastically increase taxes on business and the rich so they stop producing and/or leave the country which equates into, not bigger revenue but no revenue. Simply Genius!
But it is a "historic" time, the first black, Marxist President and all.
I love how California is so anal retentive about all it's environmental laws-- and yet here we are with the very epitome of waste.
Think of all the energy required to create the materials, the materials themselves, all the wood, metal, glass, pipes, wiring, roofing etc etc and now the energy used for disposal of all the materials. All to be destroyed, nothing reused. That's thinking green! Way to go.
DON'T READ THIS!! in 1971 a guy named Kyle and his girlfriend Emily were inside a house that was said to claim peoples lves if they entered the house.The next morning a guy named Alex saw fingernail marks on the door.if you dont post this to 5 videous, you'll be getting a visit from Kyle and Emily tonight!WARNING: this has been proved to be real,i value my life!whoever reads this may god be with you!

Funny how nobody cries when old buildings are knocked down to make room for new ones.
Or how that destroying a perfectly good stadium to "make way" for a new one is accepted.
Tear down some houses and omg you have the failure of capitalism?
The only failure is the losers who bet that someone would buy their house in the middle of bfc. The bank that funded their stupidity. And the Gov. that backed up that bank. The idiots who voted the morons into office. And...see where this is going?
i agree with the bank, and would do the same thing. the government knows the economic problem we are in and keep taxing an fining us for all kind of little things that should be put aside. instead of getting some property tax later on they will get nothing. how about fire some off the official instead of sending them to harass the bankers, that way some money would be saved on all of the towns residents.
Capitalism is finally showing its true colors. Wait until more are laid off; wait until the gas price exceeds $4.00 a gallon and with it even higher food and service prices.
The real tragedy is how the federal government is pouring billions in the hope to return the country to the time before this financial mess, when people thought they were rich on borrowed money.
How on earth is government a good thing when the best possible solution is to knock down unfinished homes because of fines. This is probably on every communist propaganda news channel "Westerners wasting perfectly good homes"
I lived there for a year in the high desert and had a bike and a motorcycle stolen from the front lawn. The motorcycle was chained to a tree. The carport was tagged everytime it got a new coat of paint and someone threw a beer bottle at my head when I was riding home from the base on my bike. It was night time and all I heard was laughter and the whoop whoop whoop of a twirling bottle before it smashed. You're right when you say Victorville sucks and it has sucked for a long long time.
destroying homes when there is homelessness all over. bank being fined by municipality. I live in the east and you should see the jerk-offs who run local municipalities. codes and all that unnesscessary bullshit once again f-n jerkoffs!
the same way they dictated to their fellow man. When the BANKS can NOT afford to pay for this shit. who else is going to? THINK ABOUT IT! There are worse things than boarded up windows & brown lawns, like homeless on the street who had a house but mighty code enforcement had to bust their ass, & some AH in charge somewhere always has to keep pushing, because they think they have the right, now new homes are being knocked down. A celebration of Human IDIOCY worshipping elitism & control.
These braindead municipalities think its really great to play really heavy handed with their legal power, Kick people in the balls to take up the slack in hard economic times! that will show em!
And when their is no tax base left to support city operation, & no outer circle left to support the city good old boy inner circle, THEN WHAT? ANARCHY? How green will the city elite lawns be then?
When there is no money left, these people think they can just go on dictating to circumstance
Maybe you should have thought about getting an education when you were young. See what an ignorant, have not loser you turned out to be Mr. cock is hard idiot.(Ill bet your family is proud of you)
Near Palm Springs. The HOA pres sat there & gloated about how great it was to have a heavy hand with others. because AFTER ALL HE HAD PAID HIS DUES & WAS ENTITLED TO a Mini Mansion with a personal golf course style lawn in the middle of South West Desert! Yah! Awesome! Just wait till you are laid off/ your pension fund fails/ you have no income/no security/ you braindead asshole. When your lawn has a brown spot in it -OFF TO JAIL FOR YOU! ASSHOLE!
I am living in southern California for a short time.....and Victorville, Riverside, and San Bernardino are all basically out in the desert, close to the Mojave...and the foreclosure rate is unreal in these areas. I can't imagine why people would build these expensive homes in these desolate locations in the first place. He mentioned Temecula, which is also in a very dry area. This is such a waste!
this is how fucked up human beings really are! CBS 60 Mins reported on how clever local LAW ENFORCEMENT was for busting Banks that were holding repo property that was beginning to get run down. They showed how banks were compelled to keep property up. WELL THIS IS THE FLIP SIDE. Humans will never learn! The Govenment just can not be successful unless its killing a certain segmant of the population. The HOA isnt happy unless its riding somebody. New Homes wrecked, while homeless wander.

The bank could have sold them at a loss but chose to inflate the housing market by tearing them down. Don't think it will work, production of nothing= no jobs!

To squander the resources that went into those homes is abhorrent. This remedy shows that something in the system is broken, TARP is looking worse and worse all the time. The fact that they had to place executive salary caps after the fact goes to show that the whole thing wasn't well thought out. Teh willingness of the government to bail out sectors at the drop of a hat has created a no fear mentality to investing. Bush pushed this through in his last 3 months in office, his final FU.

I used to live in Victorville (and prior to that Hesperia)... and I saw that coming years ago, back when bases like George AFB were shut down... they caused the collapse of the economy in their respective towns, which only spread outward and multiplied in devastation. I left the desert about 15 years ago... and unfortunately, I'm seeing the exact same trends out in the East Coast as what happened there. I'd like to get out again before another collapse happens... but there's nowhere left to run.

its crazy to read that someone would actually logically think that land would be worth more w/o houes on it. i dont care if someone smeared human shit all over the walls of those houses. you can still clean it up and fix it up. knocking the whole fucking thing down and throwing it away is like throwing money away. how could you think that the property is more w/o the houses? a house it self is value, shit condition or not. no research required about that. that mentality is very dangerous

Do your research!

There was an unsustainable building frenzy in Victorville. Prices have now dropped 50%. A home sold for $325K four years ago is now on the market for $175. Prices should never have gone so high, and wouldn't have, if the bankers had done what they were supposed to do - to make sure that people could afford these escalated prices. But banks were making money on the quantity of loans and then shuffling them on to Wall Street.

Why would a bank ever de-value property? This bank received bail out money. They were paid to de-value the land and to take homes off the market. This artifically keeps property value up. Your house never was nor will it ever be "worth" $400.000. Trying to hang on to the inflated value of your home is just putting more money in the banksters pockets. We need to return to actual asset figures or this will get worse. Just keep jacking up the price and soon we'll all be homeless.

There's something not right about the banks version of the story.
According to Guaranty Bank Real Estate Officer Dean Smith, the city of Victorville was fining the Bank on a daily basis because the homes were not up to code.
These are new homes, 4 of them completed & 12 still under construction. How could they NOT have been built to code?
Guaranty Bank is full of sh*t.
Rather than selling the homes at a loss, thus saving them, they decided to totally demolish so NO ONE could have them!

They could "buy" it", but can they "maintain" it? Being a homeowner has never ending costs, higher utility bills than an apt. or small condo, landscaping, trash, water, property taxes and loads of never ending upkeep over the years painting, carpet, floors, roof, etc. Also don't forget that the appliances won't last forever. When your air conditioner, heater, washer, dryer, refrigerator, air filter, water filter, etc. breaks the homeowner has to pay for it.

You're right. That was pretty weak demoing, moving three 2x4's at a time with a backhoe.

I'd say the operator sucks at demolishing as Bernanke does at.... whatever it is that Bernanke does.

For the amount of money the bank is paying the contractor to demo these homes, they have to put on some kind of a show. It's called 'Milking It'. More than likely a "time and materials" job.
I had to spend an entire day one time, digging a 6'x6'x6' hole with a backhoe on the government dime. A '15 minute' clean hole mind you.... My orders were,...scratch, scratch, scratch, 3/4 bucket scooped out,... then "inadvertently" drag 1/2 bucket back into the hole, each time back in.

I strongly suspect this number is larger than zero... I would think another contractor could agree to fix the code violation in exchange for the right to purchase the homes something well below this price (but above the value of the land and utilities and extra daily fines until the code violation is remedied...). Then he could sell them below market and make a killing.

Capitalism is finally showing its true colors. Wait until more are laid off; wait until the gas price exceeds $4.00 a gallon and with it even higher food and service prices.
The real tragedy is how the federal government is pouring billions in the hope to return the country to the time before this financial mess, when people thought they were rich on borrowed money.

How on earth is government a good thing when the best possible solution is to knock down unfinished homes because of fines. This is probably on every communist propaganda news channel "Westerners wasting perfectly good homes"

victorville sucks anyway, full of tweekers, porolees, and white trash losers with no teeth. Who the fuck would buy a house there anyway?

I lived there for a year in the high desert and had a bike and a motorcycle stolen from the front lawn. The motorcycle was chained to a tree. The carport was tagged everytime it got a new coat of paint and someone threw a beer bottle at my head when I was riding home from the base on my bike. It was night time and all I heard was laughter and the whoop whoop whoop of a twirling bottle before it smashed. You're right when you say Victorville sucks and it has sucked for a long long time.

So they pay MORE money to destroy the houses they paid to build? I fail to see the logic.

the same way they dictated to their fellow man. When the BANKS can NOT afford to pay for this shit. who else is going to? THINK ABOUT IT! There are worse things than boarded up windows & brown lawns, like homeless on the street who had a house but mighty code enforcement had to bust their ass, & some AH in charge somewhere always has to keep pushing, because they think they have the right, now new homes are being knocked down. A celebration of Human IDIOCY worshipping elitism & control.

These braindead municipalities think its really great to play really heavy handed with their legal power, Kick people in the balls to take up the slack in hard economic times! that will show em!
And when their is no tax base left to support city operation, & no outer circle left to support the city good old boy inner circle, THEN WHAT? ANARCHY? How green will the city elite lawns be then?
When there is no money left, these people think they can just go on dictating to circumstance

The 60 Mins piece was on So. Cal. too.
Near Palm Springs. The HOA pres sat there & gloated about how great it was to have a heavy hand with others. because AFTER ALL HE HAD PAID HIS DUES & WAS ENTITLED TO a Mini Mansion with a personal golf course style lawn in the middle of South West Desert! Yah! Awesome! Just wait till you are laid off/ your pension fund fails/ you have no income/no security/ you braindead asshole. When your lawn has a brown spot in it -OFF TO JAIL FOR YOU! ASSHOLE!

I am living in southern California for a short time.....and Victorville, Riverside, and San Bernardino are all basically out in the desert, close to the Mojave...and the foreclosure rate is unreal in these areas. I can't imagine why people would build these expensive homes in these desolate locations in the first place. He mentioned Temecula, which is also in a very dry area. This is such a waste!

this is how fucked up human beings really are! CBS 60 Mins reported on how clever local LAW ENFORCEMENT was for busting Banks that were holding repo property that was beginning to get run down. They showed how banks were compelled to keep property up. WELL THIS IS THE FLIP SIDE. Humans will never learn! The Govenment just can not be successful unless its killing a certain segmant of the population. The HOA isnt happy unless its riding somebody. New Homes wrecked, while homeless wander.
