I know what you mean about the squatters, I did about 5 houses in fresno about 4-5 months ago then we asked our boss not to accept fresno anymore. We did a house that got turned into a gang house, we were way too lucky that nobody was there when we went there. The squatters are less gang-oriented in bakersfield but about as dangerous. I think it hit 120's for a day or two last year. It's been going over 110 the whole week
