They were nice and big at 4000 sq. ft., but where do they think they are going to find buyers for those things? That's a $5000/month house payment with mello roos, insurance, and HOA fees tacked onto the rest of the payment and it ain't like it's some great location right there overlooking the 91 freeway.<BR/><BR/>The place was a ghost town. I'll bet you're right about them going belly up soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329419642567789295.post-66303484400154766302008-08-22T17:52:00.000-07:002008-08-22T17:52:00.000-07:00while surfing, found this link.
