..At least 18 grow houses had been discovered in the city since the beginning of the year, and police officials say other houses are still under investigation.
The city already tracks foreclosed homes to make sure they don’t become eyesores. One of the ideas now is to keep track of rental properties to make sure landlords are doing appropriate background checks on potential tenants and monitor the homes to make sure they aren’t converted into indoor pot farms.

..Grow houses are so pervasive in Eastvale — where rampant foreclosures have fostered a wave of houses for rent — that the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department issued a news release in April advising residents how to spot one. It is posted on Eastvale’s official website. Tell-tale signs: windows covered from the inside, lights and televisions on timers, people hauling in commercial-grade electrical equipment, and no signs of normal residential occupation.

Yeah, our economy is in the toilet, people are abandoning their homes, and now we want to wipe out the only economic activity in town that's growing.

It's a good place because there are whole neighborhoods that are abandoned. All you have to do is walk in the back door, set up, tap into power and you're up and running. When you have no neighbors no one notices. That's why they get busted by Edison. It takes Edison to notice and call the cops. Even if the house has been legitimately rented most landlords in that area are so desperate for money to pay their upside down mortgage they rent to anyone.
