Reply #4: Well, no, because of the debris

[Occulus]

Many of these foreclosed homes sit in the middle of otherwise populated areas. In a hurricane, those foreclosed homes will be ripped apart unless the holders of the properties take steps to protect them- which, of course, the banks in question obviously will not do.

My question is, when- not if- this happens, will the banks then be held liable for the damage and destruction their property causes to neighboring properties? My guess is no.

This is a question that ought to be immediately addressed, of course, but won't be until the damage is already done.
