1. Wow...

2. would rather those houses get taken over by vandals and squatters?
most of those kinds of "tours" are for people who want to buy a house and keep it viable.

5. i understand--but it's just mind blowing to think that there are
so many that we can start running sight-seeing tours now.

4. Foreclosure buy =$7,000 tax credit
According to Congress

So people who can afford it will probably go out and buy buy buy
The rest of us will fear that our homes could be next.

8. Elk Grove, CA (just south of Sacramento) has had those for months.
I know there were a few articles about it in the Bee, I don't know if they're archived.
