I visited this neighborhood in the high desert of California during the housing crash of 2008/2009. Picture foreclosure papers blowing in the wind like tumbleweeds. Boarded up 3500 square feet, 5 year old homes in a suburban community. Lots of people who bought these new "McMansions" as the neighborhood was built up in 2005/2006 for $450k only to have them be worth less than $100k a few years later. Truly a place of broken dreams. One of the most eerie places I've ever been. [/quote]

I have a friend who worked during the crash doing trash outs of foreclosed and abandoned houses in the inland empire and desert. He said it was incredibly depressing especially when the houses had been abandoned, taken over by squatters or broken into, and then abandoned again. [/quote]

What town is this? I drove through a very bleak town just over the Nevada border on my way to Yosemite. We just stopped to get gas and grab lunch but we were so creeped out at the gas station that we hurried the kids in the car and took off. Really bad vibes...[/quote]
