Looks like an owner got her rental property up to specs, but the tenants ran it into the ground. She tried to evict them, then they reported her for sub-standard conditions.

"If these tenants weren't immigrants, if they were white, English-speaking people, this would never happen," Perry said.

Baloney. They had this same problem up in Stockton, CA when I was there in the late 60s. White farm workers then, and they trashed their digs just as bad as these people do, only nobody but the farmers complained then - and nobody listened.

“Most of the houses have been expanded in some slapdash way, with plywood lean-tos a common feature. The houses and trailers have broken windows, walls patched with more plywood, and extension cords stretching from the windows. Inside the homes, county inspectors have found mold infestations, leaking pipes, sinks that don’t drain and walls that leave daylight streaming in.”

Sounds like a $300 thousand ‘fixer-upper’!
