With half the homes in Temecula being bank-owned and vacant, I would expect crime to go up significantly. Why cook meth in some trailer in the middle of a national forest when you can do it in a nice comfy vacant house?
All those vacant homes are like a siren call to criminals. And you can expect a big property tax revenue drop-off as well. How is Temecula going to pay for all those cops when the the tax revenue base goes to 1/3 or less of its current level? And who do you think your neighbors are going to be when prices get down to the $200K level?
I would only consider buying a rental in Temecula. No way I’d consider buying a place to live there long-term until this whole thing shakes out. The neighborhood characteristics in Temecula could change significantly over the next few years and I wouldn’t want to be stuck there watching it happen.

February 18, 2008 at 12:15 PM #1549504plexownerParticipantHard to imagine that we will ever be scraping vacant homes in San Diego county but the precedent has and is being set as we speak:
The city of Macon considers more than 260 houses to be such eyesores that it went through the time-consuming legal process of getting them condemned so they can be demolished.
http://www.macon.com/198/story/269960.html
Brown last year announced a ‘5 in 5’ plan with a goal of demolishing 5,000 vacant structures in five years. The city will put up $20 million of the $100 million cost, ask the state for $60 million and the federal government for $15 million.

On his demolition list sit 900 fire-damaged, dilapidated and unsecured vacant homes. He estimates thousands more sit vacant.

In Cleveland, there are so many vacant bank-owned homes that officials are considering demolition in some areas.
