Newly constructed home in Victorville, CA north of Los Angeles being demolished by the Guaranty Bank of Irvine. From the news story:

A Guaranty Bank official, Real Estate Officer Dean Smith .. said it was a choice of pumping their own money into property site improvements and additional money to bring the home up to code or tear down the 16 homes ..

Our only option is to either proceed with putting more than a million bucks into the land, which we’ve already taken a huge hit on and lost a lot of money, or, we tear down the houses, Smith said.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
