We used to go for a walk from our place and pass this boarded up place that looked like a former crack-house. It was basically a wooden box on metal stilts hanging on the side of a steep hill. I would doubt that even cock roaches would sleep inside. Very gross. These pics are not so great but, believe me, it doesn't look better from close up.
Yes, that is a chain link fence two feet from the front door. They are not much for zoning in the Montecito hills. To get in the front door, you open up the chain link fence and walk across a piece of plywood into the front door. If the plywood was not there, you would tumble down the hill rolling underneath the house. Lovely!
I looked on Zillow today to see how much it is worth. They say $300K. But funnier still is that it sold near the top of the bubble at over $700K. What utter madness, this housing bubble!
