  • On the road I come across an ABANDONED NEIGHBORHOOD, bankrupted and left to rot away. Houses here are still in great shape and it was a real surprise to see that there was still quit a few things left inside. I also found evidence of people living in some of them, which is no surprise at all. Enjoy!

    Just to clarify to the newer posters, they did not abandon their homes and were not bankrupt. This was a block buy out by a medical company and it was redeveloped. It seems they all got a good deal way above market value and moved on to continue their lives. Now a medical centre and supporting buildings are on the land. I hope wherever the previous home owners moved to, it was not near such a noisy road as that would drive me nuts :)

      @jd-no7rw 6 років тому +23

      We do, there are articles about this area on the internet. A big developer wanted to buy the property and the hospital across the street wants to put in senior housing. All the neighbors agreed to sell, and moved out. They were likely well compensated, and most of the building materials from the houses were donated to Habitat for Humanity. No real mysteries here. From what I hear, there is a large sign at the end of the road telling exactly what is going on, but none of the videos I've seen show it.

      It costs ALOT to maintain a home. There’s a reason we don’t shell out abandoned homes to the homeless. One, most aren’t safe, and if one is, it will likely become unsafe quickly. Someone has to pay for water, electricity, sewage, maintenance upkeep, property tax, mold remediation. The sad fact is that many homeless aren’t capable of handling those responsibilities. I mean look at how the people who were living in that house treated it. Tearing things off the house to burn.

      @@GlurglePop I think though, instead of letting things rot, if they were given the house, and as long as they tried to maintain it, things would be a LOT better. Many people would LOVE to have a home, with pride, but just can't get the down payment.... Many could keep it once they got it. it's just the 'getting it' is the problem. And, just because someone is 'homeless' doesn't mean they are bad people, it could be lost money for medical, divorce, etc. Given the chance, they could become homeowners, and even rent out a room or two to keep things going. Just letting something nice deteriorate does no one good.

    I went out there today (12/8/2018) because youtube randomly suggested this video yesterday. The entire street/neighborhood is gone and replaced by Wake Med, which is an extension of the hospital across the street. It's close to finished but still under construction. The name of the street has been changed to something like Wake Med Drive but Google still has it listed a Guernsey Trail. I live in Raleigh now but grew up in Cary, so it was neat to see this video capture a neighborhood much like the one I grew up in.

    I use to live on Guernsey Trail where this video took place. Nothing is haunted, nobody went bankrupt so stupid... we simply could not resist the offer from Cary Medical so we all sold on the same day. On the last day with the street lined with moving trucks we had a block party in the street. It was a very sad day as most owners were original to when the street was built and our kids grew up together. One by one each moving truck pulled out away from what we once called home to disperse to the left and to the right on Kildaire Farm Rd to start our new life in a new neighborhood. It's very sad to drive down the street and see was once called home trashed from people with no respect.

      OJ McClanahan- WTF are you talking about, "abandoned for 20 years"? The last families moved out in December of 2016. These homes haven't even been abandoned for an entire year yet, much less 20 of them. The building of the nursing home and medical facility has already started. And that police tape isn't from a "murder scene", it was put up by the landowners/developers to keep some idiot from falling through the missing floor and into the basement and suing them for millions of dollars. The floors were ripped up due to asbestos being used in the construction. You aren't allowed to just demolish buildings full of asbestos, the asbestos has to be carefully removed before demolition so you aren't launching billions of cancerous asbestos particles into the air for everyone within 20 miles to inhale.

      just to make more sense of it for ya, it wasn't always that noisy, there used to be lot more trees between the highway and the houses but they tore a bunch down in 2015. and a noise barrier wasn't a good option for the location, i know this video poster made it seem like this wasn't in a busy area but this actually sits in the heart of a very busy commercial zone and that highway has a alot developed on it and expected lots of more growth so be pointless to build a wall on it since we'd end up tearing it down shortly after for more constructions.

    "The entire neighborhood agreed to put their entire community up for
    sale as commercial property. The reason for this, some neighbors are
    saying, is because Cary has experienced such rapid development. Twenty
    years ago, that area of Kildaire Farms Road wasn't so busy and built up.
    Unhappy with the fast pace of growth, but not always able to afford to
    just up and move, sometimes neighborhoods create this kind of solution.
    So the rapid expansion of Cary is partially to blame. These are nice
    houses -- according to Zillow, many are worth between $250-300k. The
    company that bought the neighborhood is planning to raze the houses and
    build a senior living community."

      No a nearby hospital offers to buy the neighborhood and every home owner agreed to sell. Now all the houses are sold and the hospital put hospital buildings in the area. If you go on Google Earth you can see the buildings but once you go into what is now the parking lot, the picture will change to pictures of the neighborhood when people still lived there

    OMGOSH I can't believe that while watching this I recognized a house that a friend of mine use to live in. The house with the jacuzzi use to be so beautiful and decorated to the nines. We use to have the best times in that house. Hard to believe that was 27 years ago, it seems like yesterday. The road these houses are on is the only road in the neighborhood. What a shame that what was once a very nice neighborhood is like it is now. I don't understand why people would leave their beautiful homes. I'm definitely going to check and see exactly what happened.

      Foil balloons can last for years as long as they aren't punctured. They aren't porous like rubber based balloons.

    • @mindyours7035
      @mindyours7035 5 років тому +4

      They usually at least deflate a little especially with temperature change

    • @billsmith5166
      @billsmith5166 5 років тому +2

      It will vary in volume, but it probably won't lose more helium. Helium expands with heat and contracts with cold. Expansion limits have likely already been reached since it has gone through at least one seasonal cycle, so they have likely deflated (as in gas loss) as much as they will due to over-expansion (and they may not actually have deflated in that way all if the pressure hasn't been sufficient to escape the envelope.). A deflation, (as in volume decrease by cooling) won't affect it's lift capacity in a fixed air pressure environment
      However, if released into the atmosphere, the balloon will likely eventually explode because the higher it goes, the lower the relative external air pressure, the volume of the helium may expand beyond the strength of the envelope.

    This is my hometown, it’s crazy to see these houses in the conditions they were in. I honestly don’t even recognize the town anymore when I come home to visit, they’ve torn down everything that gave the town it’s old charm in favor for expensive cookie cutter houses and big businesses on every corner. I can’t even afford to live there anymore. Makes me really sad.

    If the owners sold their homes to developers, why did they leave behind so many personal items when they moved out? Who moves out and leaves behind televisions, toys, clothing and furniture? Why weren't they taken to the new homes?

      I wondered that same thing too. What comes to the TV and furniture, only explanation I could come up with was that maybe they were already broken/dirty and that's why they were left behind. Don't know about other personal stuff, though.

    A lot of different industries left NC in a matter of 3 decades. - Textiles, Cotton Mills, Cotton farms, Tobacco Road, the once giant Furniture industry, etc....
    Along with these industries went thousands of jobs ranging from janitorials too CEOs. Housing market has been loosing ground in the Carolinas for many years.
    Thanks for content pal.
