Instead of abandoning government property, the government should convert it into government housing. As a former servicemember, I can attest that they are already tiny villages. I'm aware not all bases are fit for such things, biochemical hazards being what they are, but I'm certain many could. I also bet the US Army Corps of Engineers could pioneer recycling efficiency and set the example for the civilian world and beyond.
@@nikita3867 that's the plan only it will be OWO. American's better grow a set. No kiss ever began with Kay's and no revolution ever ended without a degree of bloodshed. They are ready to add slaughter us all and burn this place down and be happy ruling over the ashes. #WakeUp
What so many people don't know is so many toxic exposures and contaminates were used in, around, on base housing areas. My husband was in the Army, the base housing on the base we lived on, the soil had been previously contaminated with Agent Orange, moved to the base, to build up the housing area, after the base had been sprayed with hundreds of toxic herbicides and pesticides and continued to by the Army Corp of Engineers even while we lived there. If people do research, they would find just about every military base in the states has been contaminated, via the water, soil, lead paint was used, lead pipes, asbestos, etc. Most of the closed bases were sold to private companies, and to get rid of the contaminated soil, lead pipes, paint, etc would cost more than to tear down. On the base we lived on WWII mortar rounds are still being found, all the water wells came back with at least 8 cancer causing agents. This is just an example of why housing like this can't be used for housing for others and housing for the homeless.
I was thinking that when he showed the water with the red rust by the tracks. I lived in the county as a kid over 4 or 5 decades ago and the water didn't look like that then.
Great video. So sad to see all these buildings waste away. They could be put to use as affordable housing. No one should be homeless in this country. Stay safe.
Agreed- Should have been salvaged and re-habbed---- Now, people get arrested just for being homeless- I can attest, not all homeless are chemically dependent- it's a shame-
That place looks like it was built maybe in the early 80s. I was an electrician at that time and I recognize the type of light fixtures/poles in the parking lots. I installed many of exactly the same ones. I love how this guy is able to convey a certain type of mood with his explorations, sometimes with just a little subtle creepy music in the background. Great channel for this type of content.
I'm guessing they go back even further. The red brick is indicative of the 40's and 50's. Maybe they did some upgrades since then, but those look very similar to other WWII era military buildings.
Having been homeless, seeing this breaks my heart! I still am one step away from being homeless again. This is sad! Every day I am aftaid I will be without a home. I am sick with Pre-Leukimia. I am terrified because the guy upstairs litterally torments me every day. I'm afraid I will die(and of him). I know I will. I have no money to move or people to help. Someone slashed my tires. So no money for that. I'm 68 years old and fight to saty alive, toilet paper is so expencive. Maybe I am to late to save. Help those who can't.
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your video explorations. They are truly awesome. You take the time, to find out the total history, on the exploration you are doing that day. A calming sense of peace, comes over me, when I watch your videos. I know that might sound weird, but it's true. I watch a lot of these types of explorations, but sometimes I can't watch certain people do them. The videos are too short, and there is no back stories to their explorations, and also, a lot of these explorers seem to be full of adrenaline. I know it probably is exhilarating, doing what you do, and others, but I still rather watch a longer, and more thorough video. You do such a great job. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing.
I remember maybe 4 years ago watching Urbex or Urban Decay explore a defunct housing development where there were dozens of almost finished houses, beautiful homes, and the contractor went bankrupt. They were in the process of finding a new builder, but had to tear down all the houses bec6kids had gone in with spray paint, ripped out wiring. Smashed everything. It made one feel sick, to see the beautiful homes destroyed, and hundreds of years of tree growth, materials, millions of years old granite, hardwood floors scrapped.
I just started watching your documentaries this week....I love what you do. You are leaving visual evidence of history that will more than likely be torn down someday. I'm amazed at how families just leave all of this behind. Some of these things need to be in museums....they are relics if the past.
I just want to thank you for making separate playlists really enjoy listening to these and watching them when feeling anxious they are very soothing and calming and relaxing probably very unexpected to hear but maybe many others feel the same way and I enjoy watching them On auto play. Thank you so much one of my absolute favorite urbex channels ever. Stay safe.
Awesome job documenting as always Devon!! Love when I see a video drop from you! And I would absolutely go there and explore but never at night lol❤️❤️❤️
Yeah definitely looks like something from New Jersey, like I said in the live chat they should do something with them, of course it would be the projects at that point but who cares it would be housing for people who need it.
This breaks my heart. I grew up in military housing. All great memories. Most of my time was in San Pedro, California Navy Housing. It too was abandoned.. left to wither away until they demolished it all several years ago. It was abandoned because Bush closed down the Long Beach Naval Base.
Might want to read the environmental reports. The base needed to be bulldozed and rebuilt, and Big Blue did not want to be bothered with the costs. The Port expanded and all those nasty environmental problems have been paved over at China's expense. Definitely too bad about San Pedro housing, but that land was too valuable to be given to the plebs. Money does talk.
Definitely looks like 60s / early 70s at the latest, height of the Cold War, more than likely built during the Southeast Asian Conflict when they would need housing for families of officers, infantrymen, and troops in specialized positions, such as aircraft and vehicle mechanics, designers, mappers, arms inventory dispatchers, Corp of Engineers, etc. When the Cold War ended, properties such as this was not needed much anymore...
My brother bought a duplex at the closed Sawyer Air Force Base. It was a SAC base in Upper Peninsula Michigan. They were officers quarters. He paid $16,000 for it in 2008. I can’t believe that they just let these houses sit and not rehab or tear them down.
As much as I admire your “maximum athleticism” and think your brave as hell. Please stop going alone. You’ve been doing it more and it’s an unnecessary risk. There’s so many things that could happen to you, all it takes is a split second bad luck. Your safety should be priority 1. Can’t give us such beautiful content if you’ve fallen through some stairs and no one can find you. Doesn’t even bare thinking about.
1:33 yep, I love abandoned places (which is why I love your videos btw). This is partially why I love the Fallout games, the emptiness and abandonment is amazing. I run my own paranormal group so quiet & emptiness is what I'm used to!!
Reminds me a lot of government housing at Offutt AFB I lived in for a few years. We were in a single family home. Lots of them were abandoned. This was back in 2004-2006. And to the folks saying this needs to be converted into project housing. That would require a lot of these homes to be completely renovated. It would likely cost more to do that and set up a program than to build something modern and to code.
Why can't these homes be coverted for veterans instead of them just rotting. So many vets live on the streets. After all the government owns the property.????
Imagine how many people that are homeless they could put here geared to there income. It would make the world a better place for all of us to take care of each other, what a waste.
This looks a lot like the Low Income Housing Authority I lived at when I was younger. It used to be an Army Base. It was put to good use by the local government selling off to live at. Today they're being demolished and reconstructed still for low income citizens in Upstate N.Y.
Sadly, Many of the U.S. Air Forces Bases I was station at or went TDY too are now closed. The Cold War ended the use of these great bases. Many people lost there job's including many businesses near by closed down.. Sad. Good video, Thanks.
Esa exploración estuvo fantástica, cuando entro a zonas en abandono me pongo en alerta y es que no siempre estamos tan solos que digamos. Por cierto... Ya demolieron el lugar?
My best guess is it was a military base, I've seen a few like this before where the government just leaves I and they'll put up chain link fencing with some type of green cloth over the front. Now it it was out in the middle of no where and it was a trek to get to they'll do the samething minus the green cloth and add barbed wire on top, one place I found while searching was just straight up abandoned in the middle of the woods with nothing enclosing it. As for where it is I'm thinking possibly Shenandoah Woods in Pennsylvania that was abandoned in the 1990s.
Такі місця завжди притягують. Одразу вмикається уява, що в по цих вулицях колись їздили автомобілі, в цих вікнах горіло світло, бігали діти. А зараз пустка.
Wow i was stationed at a abandoned military base in michigan while they were closing it. Now when i go back to it everything is so eerie all the people i knew there are gone the buildings are in decay i had so many good memories there
No wonder everyone hates the government. They could have done so much with this property, if they didn't want it they could have handed it over to a non-profit for low income housing or senior housing. Just a shame.
I agree with Terry Lynn. Hundreds of homeless people in Los Angeles and this development could have housed many of the homeless people . Some people didn't have there act together on this one.
We have places like this in Ohio but most of them where converted into low income housing which in turn means a ghetto. Low income families in small spaces no jobs in the area since it was built for the military and just a lot of crime and sadness.
So cool, would definitely visit, a shame for it to go to waste, could be used for the homeless, low income housing , etc! I just don’t understand. Love what you share…my daughter and I follow you and love your adventures!!
Not surprised they're not being used for anything. Local community probably didn't want a low income ghetto in their neighborhood. Best best is to raze it all and redevelop.
What a fascinating place wirh so much history. Too sad it will be demolished, this could be reused to give homeless a nice place to live. Thanks for sharing this ❤❤ Btw, you climbed up the fence with one hand? I can barely do it with two hands. Are you some kind of X-Men?😅
Maybe the deer you saw years ago in your amazing experience is the same deer carcass that you saw on the ground when you went back; maybe it was lost or couldn't get out.
I suppose the government still owns this property? Hard to understand why they just let all this go to waste. Or….at least done something else with it. More waste!

That is such an excellent idea seeing as though there are so many homeless in this country .
That only works if the Gov't actually cared about veterans or American's. Sad but true.

Sad part is this could have been salvaged and made into an affordable housing complex. So many dont have safe homes and hundreds are left to rot.
Yes, couldn't agree with you more.
THEY WERE POORLY BUILT/ YOU COULD HEAR YOUR NEIGHBORS CONVERSATIONS THROUGH THE WALLS.IT WAS A DENSLY BUILT SLUM FROM THE BEGINNING
@@ronaldunderwood4353 see above
Agreed- Should have been salvaged and re-habbed---- Now, people get arrested just for being homeless- I can attest, not all homeless are chemically dependent- it's a shame-
There are a number of BRAC-closed bases that have been repurposed by local communities very well, including some of the housing.
That place looks like it was built maybe in the early 80s. I was an electrician at that time and I recognize the type of light fixtures/poles in the parking lots. I installed many of exactly the same ones. I love how this guy is able to convey a certain type of mood with his explorations, sometimes with just a little subtle creepy music in the background.

My guess was early 70s
I'm guessing they go back even further. The red brick is indicative of the 40's and 50's. Maybe they did some upgrades since then, but those look very similar to other WWII era military buildings.
60s-70s no way built in 80s…
I think your right the construction looks like 60s-70s. Playground equipment looks like 70s-80s.
The streets still echo with the exhaust burble of base model V6 Mustangs bought on 30% APR.
Having been homeless, seeing this breaks my heart! I still am one step away from being homeless again. This is sad! Every day I am aftaid I will be without a home. I am sick with Pre-Leukimia.

This has to be Fort Monmouth N.J army base! I lived with my older brother and his wife back in 1972. I have a picture of the house they lived in.
I believe it is, I drove on one of those streets in the early 2010s
Yes, it is. My husband and I spent over two years there starting in 1982. Would love to see ur pictures.

They should have rented them out once no military presence
I was also thinking that
Thanks for showing us the abandoned military housing area,looks like it covers quite a few acres🇨🇦
Me too. Hi how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid virus out there?
I love your videos. Very informative, interesting, & well put together. 😊
A place like this seems so lonely wonder about the people that lived there
Should have been turned into affordable and housing for the homeless! What a waste! With a base that size closing it was probably needed!
I just want to thank you for making separate playlists really enjoy listening to these and watching them when feeling anxious they are very soothing and calming and relaxing probably very unexpected to hear but maybe many others feel the same way and I enjoy watching them On auto play.

Reminds me of an ex uranium mining town called Mary Kathleen here in Australia, but at least the houses were sold off.
Nice work. I feel the same way about the beautiful desolation of abandoned places.

Living in social housing that's only a little over 40 years old now and these abandoned 30+ years townhouses are still in better looking shape.
Yup. That's military housing. I loved living on base. It's too bad the government didn't sell the houses to the city or people to live in.
400 hundred homes? Don't have to be torn down! Just rehabbed!
At one time kids were playing, families were coming and going! Thanks for the memories!
What a shame and waste as many homeless and disabled people there are without proper shelter.

What a disgrace for the government to let this happen!
When Truax Field in Madison, WI was downsized, the on base housing was converted to public housing. The Truax development was much smaller than this.
Great scenery for filming.
Dude your commitment to this was 💯 I woulda turned around at the water and fence for fear of the camera
Wow , all over the USA are these type of communities- WTF

It's creepy cool to see the playground and streets overgrown
What was the temp that day? Looked fricking gorgeous!
Lot of homeless veterans could use this help! Free housing.
Free and contaminated TOXIC housing you mean?

Cool explore as always wow these buildings are still standing they should have been torn down a long time ago there just rotting away
Absolutely incredible to see in this state of decay, but also so sad. What a waste.
Looks like the old Fort Devens.....
Millions homeless in America 🇺🇸! What a shame.
So sad there are thousands upon thousands of homeless that this could off been used for
Those are huge homes.
It is too bad considering!
Not surprised they're not being used for anything. Local community probably didn't want a low income ghetto in their neighborhood. Best best is to raze it all and redevelop.
Local community are probably reeling from the cancerous affects of the contaminated and toxic grounds so yeahhh your comment is dumb asf 🙄
What a fascinating place wirh so much history. Too sad it will be demolished, this could be reused to give homeless a nice place to live.
Thanks for sharing this ❤❤
Btw, you climbed up the fence with one hand? I can barely do it with two hands. Are you some kind of X-Men?😅
What a waste of money and housing that could have been put to better use than to let it decay
Hey man! I wish you could visit India there are a lot of mysterious and abandoned places in my vicinity. I hope we both explore those places.
Maybe the deer you saw years ago in your amazing experience is the same deer carcass that you saw on the ground when you went back; maybe it was lost or couldn't get out.
Where is that? Rome, NY, by chance?
Love from vietnam can u make video about abandoned aquarine
They should let people but these homes that can't afford here gh PR card homes
Badass video!!
Just a perfect example of very wasteful government spending of our tax dollars
what can you expect in a disposable society. Everything is expendable from humans to housing.
Although they are cookie cutter houses they are still built better then new cookie cutter houses
okay so where is this at? the location would be helpful. Jeez
What a shame could have made them into civilian housing after the Cold War good homes go to waste.
It's too bad it was not repurposed to community housing for the general public to purchase like Wurtsmith AFB was when it closed.
Where are these places to look for them on Google maps ples 😅😅🤗
This was someone's home their neighborhood
Why can’t we utilize these place for the homeless or low income?
I suppose the government still owns this property? Hard to understand why they just let all this go to waste. Or….at least done something else with it. More waste!
What was the name of this base?
Very typical military housing. Should have been given to homeless, or section8 housing.
A waist of usable houses wow.
Where's Chris? Shame they have been left to decay. Could be used for homeless or low income housing. What a waste.
U ever run into people living in these places?
Mostly in cities.
Nobody does abandoned ghost towns like def!
Wild
