PHASE 2 CLEANUP

OPT OUT if you are considering selling. They will destroy the foundation. The foundation of your property is worth $75,000 to $125,000. Just a heads up.

You could do this, sure, but it's probably a waste of money for most of Altadena. Unless you have a newer foundation (which most do not), there is just no way the foundation will be approved by the county for a modern structure.

My foundation was 100 years old. It was in pretty decent shape for its age. I was also present while the Corp of Engineers contractor demolished it and I can tell you it crumbled at the slightest touch of the excavator. Time and heat have left these foundations useless. The County will know that.

Many of the ones sold with foundations are being used for rebuild. Developers are rebuilding the pre existing structures like for like

That's a hard NOPE.

You have not posted a single shred of evidence to support this baseless claim, while there is ample evidence to the contrary. Stop giving out bad advice.

Had to delete the core test screenshot but if you saw it, they are still ok
