My friends and I drove into subdivision last week and we were shocked to see it empty. The only reason why developers aren’t jumping on this property is because it’s not in a ritzy part of Florida. There are so many battered women and children, homeless and veterans that could use a place to lay they’re heads. My heart bleeds. I really don’t understand.

I used to live there. 808 Continental Drive which is the one with the ramp and black railings because my step dad was handicapped. Also 327 Union St which also had the ramps and everything. we were forced to move because we were under the impression that there was gonna b new houses built there. well turns out that was a lie. I grew up in that neighborhood. everyone was friendly, we all knew each other, and we helped each other any way we could. we had a boys and girls club that helped babysit students after school and provided them with hw help and snacks. we also gave out full bag meals over the summer to those who didn't have anything to eat in that neighborhood.

Updateeee

I think there's a lot more to this property than what is being told. I've heard stories that the land is toxic I've also heard that the development was built over a Black Mass cemetery of unmarked Graves. Whatever the case maybe something must be going on because there have been several developers that have attempted to purchase the land and have been rejected one way or another just recently it was supposed cleared away and a upscale retirement 55 + community of manufactured homes was supposed to take over the property. But that has also fizzled out to this day. It remains extremely very scary place to go at night.

These houses are still in livable condition,and homeless people are everywhere.

***** Cheers, there's so many homes left abandoned like this in the USA. Some homes are left abandoned because the owners die or can't afford the crazy property taxes, then the government takes over ownership, from then on, they don't take care of them, then they get so run down that not even a street bum would want to live in them. This is actually "littering" and contamination of the earth's soil -- these houses turn into garbage. If they want to take the houses from the people that owned them, at least take care of them, or tare them down and clean up the land for someone else to build on. In this we have a perfectly good subdivision, and bums left on the street. The problem with the USA is, the government "leaders" put their military over their own citizens, and the citizens should come first. If they want to treat their homeland like a dump, I think citizens should go and dump their garbage there - maybe then they'll get the hint. It's a shame, I'm Canadian and I think the USA is a very beautiful country with an abundance of beautiful natural resources, then I see this -- it's sickening what "greed" will do.

If a house isnt taken care of in the florida sun, heat and humidity ts ruined in three or four years. Mold, asbestos remediation, plumbing, new electric, duct work, foundation work, roofing, heating and Ac, all have to be brought up to code and repaired. And the code has changed significantly since the 70's. Flood zones have shifted significantly too, requiring higher insurance and raised buildings - big expenses. Also its not about the concrete, its about the replacement cost compared to the cost to repair. Lastly you hear a ton of people here saying let homeless people live there, its still liveable. Maybe so, but it has to be a certain standard to allow people to live there, even the homeless. The narrator states that the previous owners couldnt afford the repairs. Projects like this fail all the time once it gets too expensive to maintain, thats why be build new ones.

And who's going to pay for the up keep? Homeless shouldn't just be given free handouts. Not all homeless people are displaced, many are there from their own doing.

The board members were abusing so everybody had to suffer....insane!!

RetroGamerVX That is the stupidity we have to fight. All I see is need for new bathrooms and there back in business. Not low cost housing but affordable housing. Or sell each unit with it's own land that's money in the bank. Or covert to rental units but left to sit empty is beyond stupid.

RetroGamerVX, it's horrible! Greedy people and likely they got a slap on the wrist. So the tenants are the ones who suffer, it's so unfair. These houses are in good shape, could house a lot of folks.

Doubt that was the only problem… these kind of neighborhoods “the projects” were mini war zones from the late 80s to mid 2000s. They were always the most violent, gang an drug infested areas of any city they were in.

It's 2020 now so I don't know what happened to those houses but it is crazy to think there are whole neighborhoods sitting empty when there are so many people in need of decent housing. I hope some organizations stepped up to help get these homes repaired and that people who needed a safe, decent place to live were able to fill that neighborhood.

Someone bought this place not too long after this was aired and there are some problems there the water bill is take $400,000 they got some leaks under the ground

Why can't they use places like this for the homeless? Just because the guys who owned it are idiots, why punish the residents?

So many homeless people in the world and yet these homes sit empty it pisses me off

Abandoned houses everywhere, homeless people, if we had a decent government they could figure out an answer and solve two problems.

This is happening in so many places, including near me.....misuse of funds, no maintenance. My question is are the ones responsible for misuse of funds being prosecuted?

It's nicer than my building and neighborhood.

Some people would kill to live in houses like that

This is sad ..so many homeless people in the world.

We lived in similar. Housing in Gainesville in the 1960’s!!! This looks like an easy fix up to be liveable. What is this near? Would make good student housing...after repair of course. Was this “slum clearance” housing originally?

If i owned that place i would rebuild it for old people

What a waste, when there are so many homeless!

And yet we still have so many homeless... it's unnecessary. I've heard of so many abandoned places here in America alone that ever homeless person could live in. It's sad

In my city( which is not very big) we have a shortage of housing. Our Government is buying vacant houses and fixing up houses for the homeless, along with helping them with job and healthcare.They are also fixing up houses to rent out to people who need an apartment. If you don’t pay your taxes and the house has just been sitting there rotting away the city will take it over, either fix it up or knock it down .As far as housing like the one’s you showed us, they constantly maintain them. They are strict with rules and cleanliness. Nice video . Thank you Kiki !❤

It makes me wonder what really needs repair? Tha buildings looked pretty sound for being abandoned. Not a lot of vandalism. Just cockroaches and sadness. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us.

This reminds me of military housing

Mold can cause structural damage to homes and can devastate a person's health. This would be an untenable liability for any Housing Authority

Interesting video Tiki. However, please be careful while you are investigating these developments. You never know what dirtbags may be hiding out somewhere. Probably would not be a bad idea to carry some "heat" with you...

And I’m betting that “security” is being paid to keep out the homeless. Damn shame!

They should sell them one at a time to whoever is interested on the condition they keep them fixed up. They could then start collecting property taxes and they could afford to keep the roads, streetlamps, etc in good condition. It doesn't necessarily have to be to low income people.

And use the development as part of a program to help people lift themselves out of dependency and poverty. Add drug rehab, job training, etc.

These houses may have been updated during the '70's and '80's, but the look, design and build are from the 1950's.

Get the people who were misusing funds put them in jail!!! Open this for needing families ...

I don't get it, I mean you said it would take at least 1M USD to fix the houses, why don't the govermnet fix them and give them to people with housing problems, I mean 1 million is a hell lot cheaper than building a community housing project from zero, the Florida goverment should see this as an inverstment, people could pay fix rates for the rent (afordable ones of course) and use this housing project!

this is super sad! all the homeless people in the world and these perfect homes just empty 😞

I did some research and this property was bought out in 2019 and it totally redone and it more colorful and inside is remodeled with new everything, they still have the original front door. The Property now called Julep Flat Apartments, they basically restored the property

I don't see anything wrong with those houses

Hi tikitrex. I'm slowly watching all your videos as you've done so many which all I'm enjoying but this one you've done is fascinating! It's great to see that not much has been done in vandalism and it's still like as its been left. Where I live in the uk there ain't nothing like this. It seems like such a waste! Another brilliant video, thanks!!

I watch your channel and I can't believe you don't take somebody with you. Just something to consider. I think everybody that explores abandoned houses to have somebody with them.

From the Hernando Sun June 2019 The Brooksville Housing authority has accepted a bid for the eerily vacant Hillside Estates community which is 13.40 acres zoned multi family. The winning bid was the highest of seven bids. The bid was by Premier Housing Investments, LLC for the amount of $1,700,000.00.

Too bad they are abandoned! Look livable to me. Homeless people would love one of these!

In Fairfax Centreville VA they had a low income community with 2 story units. The county tried to get the owners to update their units but they said they didn’t have money because half the renters had bounced checks so they closed it was sold to a condo developer in 2005.

the sad part is, those are reasonable sized houses on reasonable lots that were probably very inexpensive to buy back in the day.

why was it abandoned ? it could house our homeless vets

Awesome Tiki; it's as if there a sleeping community; if you we're to drive up to it, you would think that everyone is asleep there, the property looks like the grounds are being kept up and the trees looks manicured...it's a shame that there is available space and so many homeless people in the world...great video.

There was one of these in Jackson Mich. A huge subdivision . My dad used to drive us through it in the 80s. Think it was intended for a millitary base that was shut down.

I think it's a lie about the mold and plumbing issues.... something else happened here to cause everyone to leave! I wish we could find someone who used to live here in the beginning and get the real story!
