Over the past few months, California legislation has caused an uptick in low-level street crime — we’ve definitely noticed the results citizen-side: more petty thefts, break-ins and overall mischief. Given that our Eichler-built homes have no windows to the street, security cameras have become a great option to not only monitor who’s at the door, but give overall piece of mind.
