Why would you destroy anything? That doesn't make any sense.

C'mon, I think they could of come up with a constructive better Idea....what morons!

I watched twice and I never heard the reporter say Victorville. I hope they got a demolition permit or they could be fined...

Roger,

This is the new tract off of the s/w corner of Bear Valley and Hwy 395 in Victorville. The builder is BK and out of bussiness and it would have taken 1 million dollars to complete this, pay the fines, and bring it up to code. Utilities are not complete, no fencing for the tract, streets are not finished. There is a lot more to this than you can see from the video. This was in the news and Daily Press a week ago.

Pretty sad. I agree with the people saying they should have done something with these homes... I wonder how much it would have cost the bank to finish utilities, etc. for those few homes and donate them or something... Simply destroying them is just sad!

I'm sure destroying them is not going to make the fines and permit fees go away, just because you torch yer car or burn down yer house doesn't excuse the debit owed, those fines and fees are still going to be assesed for those structures, even though they have been torn down. Once you build it, the fees are put in place, the bank should know all that, is there some shady buisness going on? is the city of Victorville going to forgive debits now? Maybe I don't have to pay for my fees, permits and taxes anymore...

By destroying the homes, the city cannot charge any more fees to the homes. The bank will have to pay the fees charged. It is sad to see them go like that but I guess its better than having the local kids destroy them with vandalism.
