On the bright side, the authorities haven’t the labeled the residence a former Meth Lab.

The gangmembers and drug dealers, thankfully, never reported their activity to police…

Once it hits $300K it might be worth buying; then you immediately demolish the entire lot all the way down to the dirt and build a walled compound on the site. Hire an armed driver to chauffer you back and forth and you’re fitting right in with the third-world nature of Alvisio…

The best part is that Yahoo’s site puts it in San Jose, but it’s not actually there – it’s in Alviso, where all of the garbage collects in the slough (or ‘wetland preserves’ if you prefer). And as if the daily infusion of solid waste wasn’t enough, the county dump is at 237 & Zanker. Love that fresh feeling!

NorcalBoomer: Two garbage cans – one for trash; one for recyclables.
Two power lines – going to two SEPARATE houses.

===========
All: This would be considered a “starter” home since all the comparables around it would probably be anywhere from 20-50% higher. Do the math.
