Razing Houses

KB Home has torn down its three model homes at its abandoned Saguaro Springs project in Marana. Liability concerns led to the demolition last week, a company spokesman said. Back in 2005, plans for Saguaro Springs called for 2,400 homes near Rattlesnake Pass just west of the Tucson Mountains.But although roads were paved and some infrastructure was put in, the project never got off the ground and the model homes sat vacant and gutted for years. KB Home had partnered with California-based Empire Land LLC until Empire filed for bankruptcy last year. The site is now up for auction.
There are multiple videos on youtube.com highlighting multiple model homes being torn down. This is the first I have seen from Tucson or Phoenix of homes being demolished. If there are others please comment on it.
