Had this happen to my aunt. She lived in an area where they wanted to excavate and pump out oil. She refused up until they offered to pay 10 million for a 200k home. Safe to say she retired pretty young and is still living very comfortably. EDIT: her house was worth 200k in the 90s and was valued close to 2mil when she sold.
The full video mentioned the water was poisoned, so i'm sure they were happy to be offered a way out, would be very hard to sell on the market, I'd imagine.

I worked as a journalist for many years, and I remember an entire neighborhood that was being bought out for a new shopping district. It took 8 years for the sales to happen and the development to finally start. That's incredibly hard on families. You are waiting for the buyout and not wanting to invest in this home that you are not going to keep, but yet the developer NEVER gets to it. Most of my career, I was covering that story, watching these families go from being patient, to being devastated. Cities should not allow this happen. If you have families abandoning belongings like that, it's usually because the developer took far too long to pay out.
Why are they doing it this way? I wouldn't agree to terms that I don't get my money on an unknown date that can be years away. They can pay me right away like a normal sale.
Ive been there… before and after they buried the Graffiti Highway …and ive explored the disappearing town ….so sad! Its quite a story behind it..be sure to read up and visit it if you can…..you ll never forget Centralia PA ❤❤❤
I worked on a project that mapped the underground fires in Centralia, Pennsylvania. The fires caused houses to collapse into the ground due to subsidence.
No the fire was put out because idiots like you kept spewing b.s. for youtube.. millions of people couldn't respect Centralia and the road of fire.. last year or the year before that a construction company buried homes and dug up the mine that was causing the fire.
And wow , such gorgeous, beautiful fantastic houses, oh my god wow, I'd give my right arm to live in a house that even looks like that after it's wrecked, would still look 1,000 times better than my old old house
happened to a girl I knew, they wanted to build offices and hers was the only one left, she ended up getting close to a million dollars for her house that at the time was only worth 60,000, she is rich now and owns her own charity stable farm for abused horses, donkeys, goats and sheep, she rehabilitates them and houses them.
@@danielcoronado6483 Probably not. People love supporting these types of endeavors. She probably makes more now, since a charity stable is allowed to sell the animals back for what it costs to rehabilitate them and take donations on top.
How does one rehabilitate abused horses, donkeys, goats and sheep? And who would supply them to her? A mln is not that much though, by far not enough to buy the farm and prepare it for her purpose. Taking care of damaged animals needs a full time vet around, safe and reliable indoor stables, enough grassy land to feed them, the animals need individual living areas where they are protected against violence from their co-patiënts... But I 'll do a Google on it, let's find out what comes up... 😅
Packers did this. They bought everyone out of there homes to make title town. It was weird to drive down those streets before they demo all the houses.
It's mind blowing to think with all the abandoned home over our nation, how many families could've had homes and at least try to keep up with the homes but Definitely wouldn't be homeless/struggling.
Ok, so the exact location is 41.991227° -87.964758° and this neighborhood has been been surrounded by industrial parks since at least 1985 (Google Earth only goes back that far). Reportedly the private developers bought out all the homes for an average of $615,000 each which was about 150% market value. They've built 3 of 4 planned warehouses there, leased one to UPS, another to a Swiss logistics company, and Apex Logistics a third. One more to go. As far as I can tell, Amazon is/was not involved in any way.
Silence is sooooo over rated!! Yes, we all need moments to think... can we please get a follow up!! It legit looks like an American version of Chernobal... why are they destroying brand new homes... what do they want the land for!???
We can all thank Amazon for once again creating this. Eventually none of us will ever leave the house. They’ll be no such thing as malls or stores. I hate Amazon. They will have control of the prices eventually of everything.
There's only four giant corporations that rule the world as we know it: - Amazon - Apple - Alphabet (Google) - Microsoft We really don't have any choice.
Google did that in NC. They sent realtors to make offers throughout the neighborhood that acted like individual buyers spending their own money so they wouldn’t pay more than face value
@@FWAKWAKKAit feels like fruadulent to me. Imagine if i set up a deal and a fake actor to do the deal who lies to the buyer. What a terrible dishonest way to do business. Amazon did it better. Buy them all out for too much its about optics. All you habe to do is put a tranny on your beercan and it wil lcost tens of billions in losses. Its about optics. The company being known for setting up shady straw purchase buyouts is mad sus man and amazon isnt any better but like come on man this isnt how id do business 😂
I'm so glad that they tried this in my neighborhood and couldn't do it considering over half of people actually owned the property outright. Yeah they tried giving us double and triple the property's value but we still said no.
@@AlkalineGamingHD If you own a house with no Mortgage on it but has low property value then there is no contest to keep the home. If the average price for a home in your area is 5 times the price being offered the triple value isn't very good is it? You wanna know how people stay poor? It is when they take an immediate cash surplus and create a debt/payment that 5 years from now they can't afford.
The water was toxic, they were concerned the chemicals would be in their clothing and furniture. Besides, they received millions in compensation, it most likely wouldn't match all their new belongings!

@@GreebleClown we got one of those too 3 years later. It’s an industrial park that took over a part of r city calls Southern Hills. It’s awful. The city I live in does not care who they bring in as long as they pay big taxes.
In San Diego County they built and continue to expand an entire neighborhood to include an elementary school at the base of a large landfill. Methane and other contaminants were detected in 2017. Supposedly, issue was resolved and building continued. Today, no one wants to take responsibility for new updated contaminate testing at the site. They’ll test off site but not onsite. Look up the Village of Escaya landfill. Perhaps a future abandoned video?
we were the last in our neighborhood too. developers bought it to build warehouses. we werent able ro visit the other homes though they had security around the neighborhood. although homeless people were found there often and one house was even burned down by homeless.
This is like Pitcher Oklahoma, where there was a bad led contamination, and everyone had to move because of led poisoning. Only, these people were offered something much better.
They sold to a shipping company. I’m not 100% sure it’s Amazon. Everyone was paid well. Some with nicer homes made less, but still over market value. Nothing was abandoned South west corner of Illinois route 83 and Devon. Elk Grove Illinois

@@haven600 yeah, you’re not wrong for that 😅 I used to trespass on abandoned properties when I was younger. No longer do that too much to risk in my life right now. It was fun but it most certainly *was anything but safe* 😅 I don’t have any bad stories. No problems with the homeless and no animals etc. nobody got hurt either. A few guys and I just liked to poke around and go home. Heck I’m drinking out of a coffee mug I brought home from a abandoned building I ventured in once almost 10 years ago (I don’t know what building that was, looked like a storage building? The widows were broken so we went in from there) It’s not safe though. We brought cloths and surgical masks to cover our mouths but looking back that probably wasn’t anywhere near enough 😅 And old buildings tend to end up having a lot of nails etc sticking out of rotting wood so you gotta be careful of that as well. And pigeon hangout spots *S T I N K* wooo baby 😂 I’m rambling haha, I’ll get to the point. Just gotta set good rules for exploring. No dumbassery when having fun. We want to go home without any problems. And this all happened in japan. I’m Japanese. I’m trying to be a surgeon now (medical school baby) so if I get caught visiting another abandoned home and get caught I’m boned 😅 Exploring is fun. Just be safe.

So Amazon bought it, I've read some comments stating that similar things have happened in their towns and where Amazon storage facilities sit empty or unused, sort of gives the impression of money laundering or atleast an expansion where they were hoping to have more demand or made a poor investment choice.
Sounds like something a little fishy that's for sure. As many places that people are saying that they bought and built a warehouse and it's not being used. Considering how much Amazon business is doing. I myself used it for a long time Amazon Prime and the Amazon app within it started making me very mad and not working right so I said screw it I don't need this crap and I don't use it anymore. Jeff Bezos right? Is the owner right? He doesn't seem like a very upstanding gentleman whatsoever so I'm sure something fishy is going on. Just like how Trump was a terrible businessman and messed up a lot of people's lives because of how he did business, I feel like that's how Amazon is working
@feliciar2773 exactly, I use to live in Mexico (I'm from the UK) and you'd see a restaurant or business open up for a month and then close or rebrand or sit empty, my friends said that this was a way to make money look "clean" when entering or depositing money in their accounts.
This is why im learning more about buying commercial properties instead of regular real estate properties. Buildings typically aren't knocked down unless they are in blight or condemned. Even if that does happen you still have the land, the building was on, which is worth more than land out in the boonies. Im always looking for commercial industrial sites, because they are typically next to water or railroad tracks.
Should look up the St Lawrence river flooding project in Canada.. entire villages flooded .. can still see streets and foundations in the lake bed 70 years later
There was a neighborhood in a town near me like this, someone even made a UA-cam about it. They UA-camr wanted us to think some financial disaster had happened. However, what had really happened was the area changed, a hospital had been built nearby, and there is a major highway adjacent to the neighborhood that had been widened. A developer bought everyone out (for very good prices), and there are now medical office buildings and a very large senior citizens complex.
the same thing happened to my childhood neighborhood in Westchester CA. airport took over, and bought everyone out. there was a documentary done on this one person that stayed around.
@bubbajfpv8856 I tried to find it on youtube but I had no luck. This was a few years ago I believe when I watched the documentary. But it was on yt where I watched it for sure. I'll try and look for it again and post it here if I find it.

This happened to me in Austin. Everyone left from the subdivision where i lived because of an economic downturn. Mortgage interest was double digit and everyone was upside down and when they lost their jobs they lost their homes.
Yes, ending with fires being set to even 6th to 8th house. Then pull out paintball guns and hunt frantic party goers until the cops show up. Sounds like a fun time. Hope there wasn't any people in those homes set ablaze

These abandoned neighborhoods should be advertised to the homeless and squatters. I wonder what Amazon will do then when they have to get them to leave
Neighborhood south of Houston, TX had to be abandoned, as it was built in a low lying area that flooded after a hurricane and the water never drained. Turned out to be in a flood zone, so all the homes were condemned, and the land was restored back to wilderness or farmland after a period of time; though it took a while to demolish and remove the homes.
They knew it was a flood zone also. I am not sure if it is the same neighnorhood but there was one place with all these new expensive home and they stated that if a hurricane ever came they would have to open the damn and all the homes would flood. Well they built the homes anyway knowing this and then all those people basically lost there homes when the hurricaine came. The city should be held responsible since they approved the buildings. But TX is terrible when it come to proper land use. If you own it, you can do what you want, no matter how unsafe it is for those in the area.
O’Hare did that to the Bensenville residence. The city or county came in and told them they had no choice gave them minimal compensation for their homes and forced everybody out. And since then they’ve basically done nothing with that land other than fence it off and build a road through it, meanwhile all of the people lost a crap load of money for their future with house values skyrocketing they have nothing but a payment
I had a dream about this. The neighborhood was different of course, but it was just abandoned out of nowhere. Fully furnished homes and everything. It felt ominous. A perfect way to describe it is that it was like being in the backrooms. Liminal space type stuff.
Dude so did I!!!! Right at the beginning of the pandemic. In the dream we were going into all these huge houses and there was rotted food on the refrigerators but otherwise everything was new and modular. Super strange. Out of curiosity, when did you have this dream?
@@HillaryMarek I had this dream last year. It was one of those short and vivid dreams. I can’t tell you the exact date because I dream A LOT, but I do remember it. Even now as I’m remembering it, it gives me an unsettling feeling. To get more into detail, in the dream there were stuff all over the streets too. Bikes were left out, and there were still some cars parked. The houses I walked through were very cluttered and messy, but not too messy to the point where I can’t walk through it lol. The interior was more of an older design kinda like something from the 80’s or 90’s. Lots of brown colors and wood. It was in those outside apartment complex that only have like two floors. Something you’d usually find in Florida or something(which is where I live currently). The apartments were weird though. They had two front doors and you could see both just by standing in between them. It wasn’t front and a back door, it was two front doors straight across from each other with the living room and other stuff in between of course. Lemme know if you wanna know other dreams I’ve had. Trust me, they get even crazier.
When i was younger living on base in Arizona. There was an entire neighborhood next to mine but all the houses were decades older. A friend and i went and explored a bunch of them, one of the homes we entered had what looked like dried blood at the back door. We immediately left and never returned.
Been a good time to clean up and resell some stuff before it was demolished. Would’ve been a pretty cool feeling to have a whole neighborhood to yourself to do anything you wanted to do with
It is kind of spooky when like most of the homes around you are abandoned, especially at night, I mean I would rather live in the countryside with no buildings around the property just pure wildlands, that's less spooky than an abandoned neighborhood of houses.
Keep in mind, unless you're Uber wealthy, it'd cost a fortune to maintain water and electricity on the property so you wouldn't have that. Also businesses, shops etc would be closed in an abandoned neighborhood. Sounds like you just want to live in the suburbs, In a good neighborhood, people are generally pretty quiet. The only issue is that there occasionally gardening and construction noise, but mostly you're alone.
Imagine a country with hundreds of thousands if not millions of homeless people, but there are entire neighborhoods of mansions that have been completely abandoned.
so freaking sad, man. ik amazon is supposedly gonna build warehouses there but think about all the homeless people that could be housed there….just houses sitting there, going to waste. or even the families that lived there in the first place. just sad
What it comes down to is being offered a price over fair market value and the fact that the reason for the taking of the land is for the betterment of society whether it be a government entity or even private. In all my years in my line of work I’ve only once, just once seen someone physically removed from their home who resisted And refused to take the money offered. At the time this occurred (2003 or so) this man’s home was only worth about $100,000 but he was offered $350,000 for this house which was triple what it was actually worth. A refinery was expanding here in Texas and after years in the courts he was formally given an eviction notice to his own home that he still owned. Constables forced entry into his house, physically removed him Off the property, was put up in a motel with all of his belongings put in storage and he received his money to his bank and his house was demolished two days after this. After he was physically removed they had to put police at his home overnight to prevent him from coming back. Yes, they can legally do this if push comes to shove hard enough. And all of the state of Texas this is only happened three times since 1941 when this law went into effect and sure enough it happened right here in my County when I started working at the DA’s office. He also filed a lawsuit against the county and one in additional $400,000 for some relevant nonsense but nonetheless he was told to get out of his own home and , said no and was eventually forced out whether he liked it or not. I give you my word your home can be taken. It’s not easy or quick………but it can be taken.
There were neighborhoods built in a Houston flood plain. They had flood insurance though the federal flood insurance and were re built time after time. It was about damn time.
It’s a shame all those possessions weren’t given to those not as fortunate. Also, there are companies like Habitat that have stores that resell used doors, kitchen cabinets etc.

What a relief to know it wasn't some kind of a disaster. Seems like they were compensated well enough to leave their furniture in the old house.

The State of California kept not just a neighborhood but miles and miles of a specific road in Tulare County in limbo as they tried to decide what to do about Hwy 65. I lived along the road in question - Spruce Rd - for about 30 years of my life.

Instead they chose the train to nowhere, which still hasn't been finished!

happened to a girl I knew, they wanted to build offices and hers was the only one left, she ended up getting close to a million dollars for her house that at the time was only worth 60,000, she is rich now and owns her own charity stable farm for abused horses, donkeys, goats and sheep, she rehabilitates them and houses them.
Well she’s a chad.
There goes her money
@@danielcoronado6483 Probably not. People love supporting these types of endeavors. She probably makes more now, since a charity stable is allowed to sell the animals back for what it costs to rehabilitate them and take donations on top.
How does one rehabilitate abused horses, donkeys, goats and sheep? And who would supply them to her? A mln is not that much though, by far not enough to buy the farm and prepare it for her purpose. Taking care of damaged animals needs a full time vet around, safe and reliable indoor stables, enough grassy land to feed them, the animals need individual living areas where they are protected against violence from their co-patiënts... But I 'll do a Google on it, let's find out what comes up... 😅

It was, Amazon bought out the neighborhood for one of their facilities outside of chicago
@@DrStfuFool FACTS!!!
It's mind blowing to think with all the abandoned home over our nation, how many families could've had homes and at least try to keep up with the homes but Definitely wouldn't be homeless/struggling.
Ok, so the exact location is 41.991227° -87.964758° and this neighborhood has been been surrounded by industrial parks since at least 1985 (Google Earth only goes back that far).
Reportedly the private developers bought out all the homes for an average of $615,000 each which was about 150% market value. They've built 3 of 4 planned warehouses there, leased one to UPS, another to a Swiss logistics company, and Apex Logistics a third. One more to go. As far as I can tell, Amazon is/was not involved in any way.
Imagine being the only person to live in an entire neighborhood. I call that a dream come true.
Silence is sooooo over rated!! Yes, we all need moments to think... can we please get a follow up!! It legit looks like an American version of Chernobal... why are they destroying brand new homes... what do they want the land for!???

So Amazon bought it, I've read some comments stating that similar things have happened in their towns and where Amazon storage facilities sit empty or unused, sort of gives the impression of money laundering or atleast an expansion where they were hoping to have more demand or made a poor investment choice.
Sounds like something a little fishy that's for sure. As many places that people are saying that they bought and built a warehouse and it's not being used. Considering how much Amazon business is doing. I myself used it for a long time Amazon Prime and the Amazon app within it started making me very mad and not working right so I said screw it I don't need this crap and I don't use it anymore. Jeff Bezos right? Is the owner right? He doesn't seem like a very upstanding gentleman whatsoever so I'm sure something fishy is going on.

This is why im learning more about buying commercial properties instead of regular real estate properties. Buildings typically aren't knocked down unless they are in blight or condemned. Even if that does happen you still have the land, the building was on, which is worth more than land out in the boonies. Im always looking for commercial industrial sites, because they are typically next to water or railroad tracks.

There was a neighborhood in a town near me like this, someone even made a UA-cam about it. They UA-camr wanted us to think some financial disaster had happened. However, what had really happened was the area changed, a hospital had been built nearby, and there is a major highway adjacent to the neighborhood that had been widened. A developer bought everyone out (for very good prices), and there are now medical office buildings and a very large senior citizens complex.
A complex away from the rest of society to stuff old people into controlled by one agency nexr to a hospital scary!
this gives me an uneasy feeling, not really scared but sad for some reason
Love Acid Rain. Listen to it every time it's raining while driving. Feels apocalyptic, but in a good way.
the same thing happened to my childhood neighborhood in Westchester CA. airport took over, and bought everyone out. there was a documentary done on this one person that stayed around.

These abandoned neighborhoods should be advertised to the homeless and squatters. I wonder what Amazon will do then when they have to get them to leave
Neighborhood south of Houston, TX had to be abandoned, as it was built in a low lying area that flooded after a hurricane and the water never drained. Turned out to be in a flood zone, so all the homes were condemned, and the land was restored back to wilderness or farmland after a period of time; though it took a while to demolish and remove the homes.
They knew it was a flood zone also. I am not sure if it is the same neighnorhood but there was one place with all these new expensive home and they stated that if a hurricane ever came they would have to open the damn and all the homes would flood. Well they built the homes anyway knowing this and then all those people basically lost there homes when the hurricaine came. The city should be held responsible since they approved the buildings. But TX is terrible when it come to proper land use. If you own it, you can do what you want, no matter how unsafe it is for those in the area.
Damn wish someone would offer me 3x what my house is worth..

O’Hare did that to the Bensenville residence. The city or county came in and told them they had no choice gave them minimal compensation for their homes and forced everybody out. And since then they’ve basically done nothing with that land other than fence it off and build a road through it, meanwhile all of the people lost a crap load of money for their future with house values skyrocketing they have nothing but a payment
I had a dream about this. The neighborhood was different of course, but it was just abandoned out of nowhere. Fully furnished homes and everything. It felt ominous. A perfect way to describe it is that it was like being in the backrooms. Liminal space type stuff.

@@HillaryMarek I had this dream last year. It was one of those short and vivid dreams. I can’t tell you the exact date because I dream A LOT, but I do remember it. Even now as I’m remembering it, it gives me an unsettling feeling. To get more into detail, in the dream there were stuff all over the streets too. Bikes were left out, and there were still some cars parked. The houses I walked through were very cluttered and messy, but not too messy to the point where I can’t walk through it lol. The interior was more of an older design kinda like something from the 80’s or 90’s. Lots of brown colors and wood. It was in those outside apartment complex that only have like two floors. Something you’d usually find in Florida or something(which is where I live currently). The apartments were weird though. They had two front doors and you could see both just by standing in between them. It wasn’t front and a back door, it was two front doors straight across from each other with the living room and other stuff in between of course.
Lemme know if you wanna know other dreams I’ve had. Trust me, they get even crazier.
Those belongings are good money, I'd love to live in that neighborhood and party 24/7 if they didn't tear it all down

The fact they can force someone to leave a thier home that is on land they are supposed to own is just disgusting to me.
What it comes down to is being offered a price over fair market value and the fact that the reason for the taking of the land is for the betterment of society whether it be a government entity or even private. In all my years in my line of work I’ve only once, just once seen someone physically removed from their home who resisted And refused to take the money offered. At the time this occurred (2003 or so) this man’s home was only worth about $100,000 but he was offered $350,000 for this house which was triple what it was actually worth. A refinery was expanding here in Texas and after years in the courts he was formally given an eviction notice to his own home that he still owned. Constables forced entry into his house, physically removed him Off the property, was put up in a motel with all of his belongings put in storage and he received his money to his bank and his house was demolished two days after this. After he was physically removed they had to put police at his home overnight to prevent him from coming back. Yes, they can legally do this if push comes to shove hard enough. And all of the state of Texas this is only happened three times since 1941 when this law went into effect and sure enough it happened right here in my County when I started working at the DA’s office. He also filed a lawsuit against the county and one in additional $400,000 for some relevant nonsense but nonetheless he was told to get out of his own home and , said no and was eventually forced out whether he liked it or not. I give you my word your home can be taken. It’s not easy or quick………but it can be taken.
