I used to live on the farm that was shown in depth in this video. The names of the family written on the wall are the names of my aunt and cousins. I grew up here for almost 20 years, and seeing it in this current state is just heartbreaking. The more modern home was built in the late 90s/early 2000s, while the old farmhouse and barn had been in my family for generations. I still remember the day when my dad had to approach me and tell me that the farm was being sold, and by then it was a multi-year waiting process just biding our time until we were eventually told we had to leave. By the time the word had come, I had left for college and no longer lived on the farm, but when I came home for breaks I would help out wherever I could. Watching this video and seeing all of these rooms I have vivid memories of just leaves me feeling empty. The pool I would spend summers with family at, the kitchen where my grandparents and aunt would cook for all of us, the massive fireplace where Christmas would always be celebrated, and even my old bedroom (still complete with the Spider-Man 3 wallpaper and paint theming). All reduced to this. Putting nostalgia and emotion aside, this video brings to light a major problem with the systems that are in place and the constant rush for development. No one cares to think of what will happen to the people who lived here, the stories that remained for generations, and the sheer amount of passion that goes into creating a home. I hope that this video can stay as a reminder of just how much decisions like this can alter the lives of many, and showing how destroyed it has become should hopefully at least keep it in the back of our minds. Ultimately, society is just building itself up to create bigger numbers, and for those of you who may have been affected by this as well, know that at least I hear you. I know your pain. You just saw mine firsthand.
I remember when that (peotone airport) was going 2 b built and my boyfriend's (family's land) wanted to b taken ....thankfully that didn't go throw But as a kid there was a stretch off 55 were at least 10 houses same thing happened.I remember my uncle saying something about a Gaint Mall but it didn't happen and 🏘 sat vacant4 years ...they just started building there Last year and these ppl moved probably 20 years ago I wanna say .
Did your dad ever share the reason of why he sold? Or why he had to sell? Thank you very much for your comment. My heart was breaking just seeing multiple farms abandoned in rich, dry land (no need for irrigation) country. I can’t help but think there’s a more sinister reason that traces back to a wealthy elitist with nefarious plans for humanity.

Black Rock and Vangaurd is just a couple.. A lot of them are Chinese investors using Amazon as a front and other supposed American companies.. So to all the people who though we where conspiracy theorist and crazy in the 80's and 90's about the "One World Order" are now seeing the big picture.. This is very real.. The Great Reset "YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY" Klaus Schwab
same thing happened here in kenosha. they demolished 80 houses for the foxconn facility 5 years ago, they built massive warehouses and then abandoned the deal. people lost family property that's been with them for generations, some people were forced to move out of their dream house that they just finished building. all for nothing.
I lived in Kenosha for a few years through Covid as well. Whatever happened to Durand Avenue? Did they ever get that shit fixed wasn’t that at all because of fox conn? Water drainage and pipes running to Lake Michigan
Don't forget that Scott Walker, and Trump was endorsing this build, making money including FoxConn out of this because they just know.. Once they have the money, that's all they care about.
The family that lived in that house may be among them. Happens all the time. People forced into homelessness while their former homes stay empty forever.
That problem is also in large part brought on by 3.5 million people entering our nation in a short time span while their bill is being picked up by our taxpayers. Putting our own on the street.
I live in Illinois and I have noticed a disturbing trend any farm land that comes up for sale that is in close proximity to a major interstate is being bought up by trucking companies that build huge " logistic centers" you can travel for miles and all you see is these centers ( an outfit called Pro Logis seems to be a major player in these developments) I know Illinois is a major transportation hub but I wonder where all of this is going, and the long term effects on the environment.
I live off the interstate in southern IL. We haven’t had trucking companies or anything like that. Some farmland bought up for food factories but shit buy me out I hate this state!!!!
Goes on to a certain degree in Missouri also. Missouri isn't as blue as Illinois so that helps. The problem is we are centrally located in America so that's what they all want. Corporate greed at its best.
Man, that is such a shame. Many of us will never be able to afford anything like this and here this once beautiful home sits in ruins awaiting demolition. What a complete waste.
No way some local family did this to their loving farm. I can't see them doing this to their home and then having them write those loving goodbye messages on the kitchen wall I'm sorry you are not the first one in here those basement windows were broken out by some nasty Illinois trash who completely destroyed it they probably live in my town. Damnit.
You would be Surprised what you will do when you are FORCED TO LEAVE YOUR WHOLE Life's WORK BEHIND ... FOR A GREEDY CORPORATION OR BANK TO JUST DEMOLISH IT LIKE IT NEVER MEANT NOTHING 😢
@@TheTexasTakebyMissVikie I'm local so I know the cut of the people here and if you're the kind of person that's going to destroy the house just out of spite then you're not the same kind of person that's going to leave those loving messages on the kitchen walls two completely different groups of people did those things
@@mollygalbraith9788I believe you and the guy filming suspected it was local kids by mid filming. Looks like a bando rager to me. Its a shame about the house though.
Those hard working families lost their homes to greedy companies. I would have burnt everything down,not just tear a few things up.,or ran a bulldozer through it.
@@aaronclark9198 most likely they were bought out at a nice profit to the property owners. Of course there's plenty of stories where people are unjustly forced off of their property.
YOU ARE RIGHT AND THEY WILL LIVE IN MANSIONS WITH THER BIG CARS THERE PRIVATE PLANES AND THEY WILL LAUGH AT US BECAUSE WE ARE SO STUPID THE FUTUR IS GRIM WAKE UP
I don’t know if you’ve touched on this but these warehouses be empty. It’s real weird. I live in Illinois and have traveled the state for work and I’ve seen these warehouses popping up out of nowhere, big chunks of land with these huge empty warehouses. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s real weird.
We have them here in Ohio too. Empty. Acres & acres of empty warehouses??? They bring in big heavy equipment, earth movers & you can see the wildlife scattering & months later. Empty warehouses. Weird.
What's real strange is the lack of work being done on the replacements. You'd be surprised how much land gets bought out and cleared for warehouses that never gets used to build anything. Eventually ends up getting sold off to mysterious buyers.
@@StringerMedia I own a large parcel of land, but think lake and hills... not flat warehouse land...... I get a lot of offers. Talking to a developer he eluded to the fact that Middle America is off limits to people like him now... If people are wondering who is actually buying this property besides Amazon you'd be looking at companies like Wish and Temu...even some of the really large fast fashion brands like Venus and Lands End. I hate to tell you kid... but we're screwed. What's going to make matters worse is all the idiots in this country who think the solution is bickering over identity and putting their eggs in either the shit covered Republican or Democrat baskets. Enjoy it while you can.
This presentation almost foretells something similar to Lahaina, HI. Corporations coercing homeowners off their lands,for Corporate purchases. Unless,this area of Illinois sits in "Tornado Alley", no way I'd give up these properties...and go where???
You don't really own your home even if it's paid off . You only have an economic interest in your property, the government can take it it anytime they want (eminent domain) .Go an get an allodial title ( land patent) on your property and then and only then the government has no power or jurisdiction to remove you off your property. That isn't saying that they'll find other means of removing you ( accidental fire ,murder etc. ) stay strong in faith of Father in heaven for He is your only protection from the evil of this world. 🙏
Happening right now behind me. I can't speak for all the county I live in, but here in my little town an I mean small. Our taxes were nothing this year. Are they devaluing all our properties so what's to come will try and take it for nothing? Rivian is being built right now, almost in my back yard. Not many homes left up on the main state hwy that connects to Rivian. The side road that cuts beside my home well there's only seven homes left five if they only want the land that actually connects to Rivian.
@@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq Hey there. My coworker and I were just discussing Rivian & the plant they are supposedly building in Georgia. Are from the Blo-No area? Just curious because that's the only facility I knew of. Hadn't heard they are building more in Illinois.
@@adriangoede7433 ,I live in Georgia. The Rivian plant is right behind my house. They plan on starting up next year. They are also building an on sight battery plant. We didn't know of this. It was just released to the public. I know other manufacturer of these lithium batteries have trouble with fires all the time. That would mean an evacuation of the people living close by. Not looking forward to all this. An it's just the beginning. Real estate investors are trying to buy some properties right now,for they know axillary businesses will follow something this huge. Trouble is they want your home and land for nothing. Hoping to sell off to some business and make bank on it. I'm holding out. Really I don't want to move. Too old an I hate thinking of all the years I have been here an my roses and flowers. Every tree I planted all my shrubs.
@@adriangoede7433 They already have one in Illinois. It stays in the red. Loosing money daily. Laid off over half the workers. They had done purchased land in Savanah Georgia on the coast plus a train tracks already there an a loading dock from the ocean. Makes for easier shipping of materials needed. Don't know why they dropped the plan to open there. It was a great place. Now they're cutting roads thru,which that's on tax payer money. Train tracks will soon be installed. On Hwy 278, we have Stanton Springs. It's across the bridge. The interstate separates each site. They're calling these Mega Sites. The three counties are Morgan (County I live in) Newton, Walton.
@@VOTEREPUBLICANS594This would happen with republicans too. It's part of capitalism, republicans support capitalism, right? Seriously I'm in the middle and don't get to involved with who is for or against what. I realize there are idiots all around.
Government simply wants more of your and our money to spend and give away to end up lining their own pockets. Because they have no real value to society at all.
You mean such hardcore Democrats like the two oily brothers or the guy with a distinctive orange skin, a rug on his head and an excessively long red tie? Yeah, that kind of "democrats" does such things.
We're just at the beginning of this on Northern Kentucky. A warehouse sits where there was once woods across the street from a local library. CVG just built three or four new warehouses in a neighborhood, tearing down several houses on the process, near a farm that is now being torn down to build a warehouse. My nice hundred and thirty year old hometown is probably going to be demolished for warehouses in my lifetime.
Correct. It all started on Mineola Pike back in 2003. Yes, some of those homes have been vacant for 20 years. The few that remain occupied will be taken over when the owners move on or pass on. Same with the little street behind them. Similar stuff is happening in Fairfield Twp Ohio along Seward Rd.
those aren't warehouses, they are fema centers. It's where everyone including you will be put once the powers that be (NWO) acquire all the land. Remember "you will own nothing and be happy"
@@createaplayer9415 there would be multiple fences an a lot of security if it were a cultivation center. There cold storage and storage for all stuff ordered online. They also have to inform communities if its a cultivation operation .
I remember when I was about 7 or 8, I'm 50 now, everyone in our neighborhood in Indianapolis were forced to sell our homes, because they were building the first Cablevision. That was in the early 80s. Myself nd my husband of 25 years grew up together on Oxford Street. You will own nothing and be happy. Not even the most important memories.
I live in Putnam County IN. they are building a brand new community in Danville. You should see how fast they are throwing up these places. NO space ,NO yard etc. But they can't force Everyone out!
"You will own nothing & be happy." 🤔 Seems like I've heard that somewhere before. We're all in dire straits. "We the people" had better get organized & play ruthlessly. Otherwise, we can kiss it all goodbye. Depending on your perspective, it already may be too late.
Same thing in NE Illinois. Beautiful homes on beatiful pieces of priperty becoming Warehouses. I don't think the previous owners would do that. Other people were there.
This is truly heartbreaking on every level... The damage to the environment, those lovely neighbourhoods just wiped off forever and those poor families forced out of their homeland. Greed turkey is such a dispicable thing which will destroy mankind and pull everything else down with it 😢
I see a lot of farmland not being farmed all over the country. I traveled extensively for my job and the farms I did see mostly except in Iowa and Nebraska were wind farms.
I have read about ALOT of our middle American farmland being bought out by foreigners ESPECIALLY China as if our own country sold us out and they are allowed to continue buying it up and who knows what they are doing underground with all of our underground pipes just look at the sophisticated tunnels that the cartels run and other terrorists organizations things that should make more people go hmmmmm????
I wonder if all those warehouses will be finished out for Fema. Especially with all the influx of foreigners. The USA doesn't hardly do manufacturing anymore so why all the need for so many warehouses. Creepy...
This is happening in our area of NJ right now. We are fighting warehouses left and right! Buying up all the farmland and putting warehouses right in what used to be residential areas. What are they up to? There’s more to this than meets the eye.
I agree and it's not American's buying these up it's China and other countries and even our own government selling out America for their own gain and power. Profit over people. Makes me sick!
I remember when this was happening in the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania. Farms were vanishing, industrial parks replaced them, it got so bad the county or state had to put the brakes on to stop it? Because they were building so fast 90% of the buildings were vacant forever. They had to pass a rule/law that they can't build anyone unless the previous construction was at 90% capacity. So much had changed while I lived in that area when I go back the farmlands I remember are unrecognizable.
I live in the plain/joliet area. They continue to build massive warehouses in these areas, including Romeoville, bolingbrook, anywhere there is vacant land. Build it, and they will come. It seems to be the rule around here.and they do come, even in the worst economies. They would build massive warehouses, and someone would buy or rent them. What's going on?
It's good you are filming this. I had no idea this is happening. I'm sure warehouses could be built without driving people out of their homes! I'm a conspiracy theorist. I wonder what is going to go inside the warehouses? Also maybe this is part of the push to get people into 15 minute cities.
it has potential - we moved into a fixer upper and it was worse than this - still working on it since 2011 a little at a time staying out of debt - teaching our children to stay out of debt and home schooling them
This home has been bought, if you can get enough money,it's best to go before property value in the area drops to nothing. It to will be used for a fire drill for the fire dept. Once it starts, whomever is buying and throwing up cheap warehouses that are just sitting there, acting as some kind of something is coming well it's a big land grab. Those who own the land and food owns the people. Bill Gates? Look at Maui, the land grab already by celebrities. This is what happens when only one percent own all the wealth. Want to protest? Well we have seen what they do to protesters who protest against them. But if you're into just walking into a CVS or high dollar clothing store and take what you want. It's cool. The cashiers will actually tell you to have a nice day as you're walking out. Remember AOC tells you let them take what they want you got insurance. But she was so frightened on that one particular day. When she wasn't even there. But down the street. Oh I heard footsteps was only a security guard. 😂 Don't know where the squad is at these days. Don't see nothing about them anymore same with the VP. They know they have ruined this country. And they think whomever it is they have been working for, doing the dirty work, that they're safe in their homes, and will continue to live an easy life ,cause they all were promised. Well the Devil lies. And he will leave you with the consequences of what you did, and laugh about it.
It's a root cellar. Where root vegetables were stored thru the winter up to the next crops cone in. Carrots, onions, beets, potatoes, rutabaga, certain types of squash like butternut. Then they had the butlers pantry off the kitchen for canned foods. Smoke houses for curing hams. They salted down fat back and streak of lean, made lard, all when they killed a pig after the first really cold spell kicked off winter. They waisted nothing of a hog. Chickens for eggs and a couple of hens for Sunday dinners. Deer meat,rabbits, fish. Trees were grown for the food, pecans, walnuts. Etc. Peach apple, crabapple, plum, ,wild berries picked for jellies an jams. Women took care of all this,while husband planted fields to sell. One can survive if they have the will to do so. Too many done lost the skill,or won't do the work it takes. Best start learning.
@@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq I grew up on a dairy farm. Trust me, it's for storing milk and cream in milk cans until the milkman can pick them up before mechanical refrigeration. It's poured concrete, it's not old enough to be a root cellar. If it was, it would be closer to the house, not the barn.
There is loads of open space property available just outside this "town" Why would they build on a neighborhood instead of buying several hundred acres 2 miles away?
Its all got to do with the proximity of an interstate, the closer they are the more " efficient" they are get the trucks off the highway switch loads/ trailers ( you can't send a double trailer, or worse a triple trailer rig into Chicago) and get them back onto he highway again, within minutes, if they had to travel another two miles they would lose time and burn fuel.
The last home you showed was a friend of mine from high school. These warehouse companies need to be shut down by the government. Someone needs to get them to open their eyes.
You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone
I remember back in the day my grandparents on my mom's side had their home taken by the state for a new road and all they could take was the furniture my Grandpa couldn't even take the chandelier that he put up.
Depends on the deal that is worked out. Most of the time people get paid more then their property is worth if they don't fight the state. The state then might say you can't remove anything because they may turn around and try to recoup some money by having an auction for anything people might want out of the house. In some cases a house might even be movable and the entire thing gets sold and relocated. So they don't allow anything to be removed for these reasons. Other times, they may simply not care and allow people to take whatever they want.
@@marcuslinton310 ,There's laws when it comes to the state. They will offer fair market value which is always lower than the property is worth. I'm kind of in that situation now. My home is payed for. I am retired, living off my social security. Not having rent or house payments make it so much easier tho the price of living has gone up so much, utilities, food,gas, meds, I could not afford rent . I don't know how old people are surviving if they have to pay rent. I have never seen prices keep rising as they have this year. I've seen the price of a jug of water go from sixty eight cents last 📃 year, to a $1.69 . And the year isn't over yet. It was $1.18 last week. This is going on all thru out the grocery store. Our currency has lost its buying power. Countries aren't even excepting it. Our dollar has deflated shrinking faster than I have ever seen. Is this the way they will bring in a new digital currency? No more cash for people to hide? Only one banking system that will keep up with how much you are earning, and where it's coming from? No more pay pal, or other cash apps that are used for sometimes illegal dealings. Control the food,you control the people. Hungry people will vote or give in even their freedoms
I was thinking the same thing! You don't just leave that amount of stuff behind. Maybe an old plunger, or a few cans of paint, but family photos and all of that stuff, not to mention knives sticking in the wall. Something definitely seems creepy about this!
Whoever it was probably forceably took those people's property, I'd willing to make that assumption, some developer with more money than sense that didn't care about anyone else but themselves and that's what's sad about this whole thing. Myself personally, I'd be shocked, I would already have my state representatives involved and on top of the situation.
Your representatives get selected to further enable what is happening Politicians are paid puppet actors Government exists to enslave us through a stupid indoctrinated belief that government is of the people & exists to give us a voice. Government is Slavery. Each party serves the same exact sociopathic deranged masters so government will never fix anything Government is the cause of that
This is happening because there arent any RULES against it in each state's constitution. People in every state need to speak up and let it be known they dont like what's going on and elect officials who genuinly care about this specific problem. Good reporting on an issue that hits close to home for me…. literally. Recently built, strange warehouses built right outside my subdivision in Lockport, Illinois off of I355. 💔😟
Unfortunately this happens all the time. In Wisconsin, companies would buy properties, give them fair market value, then let the people live there for free until the land was needed. Sometimes 20-25 years. Everything has a price.
This is the saddest video in America. Sick to my stomach that this is the cost of progress and change. Families built these homes for these families that lived there, yes for for a 100 yrs! But we've done it to Natives before us... My family had a 400 acre farm from the1870's and it had its crops subsidized in the 1970's. So our family farm didn't make it through. This is today. We just can't seem to get it right.
Reminds me a lot of what they did to cities as well. Build giant warehouses or factory, run downs property value to buy even more. Next thing you know you have a low income community where there used to be a prosperous one.
When they leave their home in that condition, there was anger and something happened to make it so, they were most likely forced out if a life they cherished. FORCED!
I'm sore that destruction was not from the previous owners... more likely from local kids, or adults and looters, who took what they could get, and hung out, partying , drinking, etc.
That has seems huge inside. I see this all across America. Literally towns that are completely empty. Some access roads are barricaded or dissected preventing you from driving across or around. Yet I never see anyone near or around these warehouses. What's inside them?!
Illinois is in the middle of the country and has major train and truck routes running from all directions. It is perfect for logistical setup in this e-commerce world we live in.
What a shame, heartbreaking to see that beautiful farm house knowing it’s going to be demolished. I’m from the uk and I love the American farm houses and some of the locations with these sort of properties are so beautiful. All money and greed x
Warehouses are going up everywhere in record number. Generally see two sizes, one like in this video and another about 125k sqft in urban areas. Somebody needs to crack the code on this. This is a plan being executed not developers trying to profit.
It’s not a secret. The U.S. doesn’t manufacture much anymore. We import most of what we consume. The goods are brought by ship, train, and truck to these distribution warehouses. I don’t where this house is located … I’m guessing near Joliet, which is a major transshipment point.
Where is this in Southern Illinois? Sure would of been nice to have started out the video on where you are in a region especially if you’re going to raise awareness of some corporate bullshit going on
@@sunstirade1085I grew up in central IL but have lived in Chicago for 20 plus years. Anything outside of the city and suburbs is considered ‘downstate’ to a lot of people even Rockford. 😂
Houses on a country road are not a town (as I would define a town). The owners probably figured the worst to happen would be other houses joining them, but then the warehouses showed up.
If you understood how some IL towns are set up, then you'd know this IS a town. There are a number of small towns in IL that don't even have a stop sign, let alone a bar, post office, grocery, pharmacy... just nothing in them but a handful of a dozen family homes.
@@unicornlapI grew up in a town of about 6k people in central IL. Many towns around that area have a grain elevator and maybe a gas station if they’re lucky. A lot of them have the town name with no population listed. Often times one or two or three families make up an entire tiny town like that. Rural IL was beautiful but I hate to think of how it will look once the overlords get to it.
You find some awesome places. I'm new to the channel and enjoy the unique locations you explore. Occasionally tho, it seems like you're in a rush a little.. like at the barn house, there was a huge warehouse behind it and inspecting the interesting items left behind a little closer would really make it extra. Opening drawers, ancient refrigerators, talking about the items left behind in a bit more detail would be awesome! I'm gonna binge some of your videos tho because you have an amazing channel, thank you for exploring on foot as walking is an ability I lost recently.
To house the goods Americans buy from overseas. Which is most of what we consume. The goods are brought to these regional warehouses for distribution by truck.
You really want to know? Then you need only look as far as your bathroom mirror. American consumerism - we - are doing this. Not everything’s a goddamn conspiracy.
I have to wonder what warehouses are ultimately for?! Is there really so much stuff in circulation that they need to keep building is massive structures?
I live in Southern Indiana and it's ridiculous that when these companies go bust, they get to just leave it all behind...leaving the citizens to have to eventually clean it up.
That record player is literally killing me my Grandma had one like that and I'm crying holy crap pan out and show me an address I'll take the b&e I'm going back to the record player.
Hello. My name is Colin, and I live in this area. The big corporations have succeeded in taking our home from us. Every home around us was destroyed and we were left to watch until it caught up with us. These companies underpay us and expect us to deal with it. Thank you so much for making a video on what is going on here. ❤
Look at Lockport, romeoville, Joliet, and Elwood illinois. There is probably double to triple the amount of warehouses there then when I started driving 10 years ago.
These properties were taken by the railroad, for warehouses and a new rail yard. Those houses were then abandoned and broken into by vandals seeking whatever they could take, mostly copper piping. I drive back there all the time. This is located in Lorenzo IL, just north of Coal City.
wow... I looked up the map views and could see some of the ruined houses.. there was a field labeled as a warehouse so the satellite pics must be a bit old. thanks for the info so I could soothe my curiosity.
This is happening in Ohio & Indiana as well. Most likely foreign buyers like China & Saudis 🙄 People that have homes & farms like these don't trash stuff when they move. Even if they know they will be torn down. That's too painful for people that have worked hard & raised their families & animals there. Most likely the family has been gone over a year or so. Destructive, ill-raised teenagers came by & destroyed the properties because they don't have any emotional attachment to the place. And they're pieces of 💩, like their parents & grandparents never raised right 🙄
This was surely the work of vandals. No one would desecrate their own home. I once had to move because they were widening a highway. We received fair market value and the community was improved as a whole. Was this an agricultural buy-out?
I definitely think it was definitely vandals. I can see the kids writing on the walls”like goodby farm” because it’s going to be torn down anyway, but not the damage like busting the counters, oven, knife and bottles(though people do odd things when they are upset 🤷🏻♀️). I just don’t see it though Very very sad though. It looks to me like this was their dream home, they had a pool so I don’t think you’d spend that money on something you stay in short term. It’s so sad when big companies buy people and farms out, it happened to my home town and all the farms that once were are now Fred Meyers and shopping malls, or highways. I get that cities evolve, it just makes towns so much less genuine when these things happen. I’d be devastated if the home I built was leveled for a warehouse and I was bought out at below market price. Just so unfair..
I doubt that it was an agricultural buy out as these " logistical centers" seem to be popping up every where I look, the areas that I am most familiar with I 55 starting on the south side of Bolingbrook going as far South as Joliet, and the I 80 corridor going West from Joliet to Morris ( about 80 miles west of Chicago.) Seem to be sprouting them like weeds, the same goes for the I 94 corridor between the Illinois border and Milwaukee, and Milwaukee to Madison Wisconsin.
Where is all the money coming from? If you follow the money trail to the origin? Also warehouses can be a front, doesn’t mean that they’re actually doing business. This is a very interesting story. If our government is so concerned about reparations, and everybody being treated fairly in 2023, you would think that this would not be happening in America.
Dude I’ve been watching all your videos I’m obsessed. This is kinda weird but hearing you breathing in the videos kinda makes me feel like I’m there too exploring. 🤘🏻
It's a shame to see places where memories were made go to waste. These were perfectly good homes to live in. The fly at 19:37 was all like, "Bro! You're the first human I have seen in ages. Wanna be friends?" 😂
Here's what I don't get, I'm watching these warehouses going up left and right. A lot of them don't have tenants or a plan, they're just going up as fast as possible. Is there some new tax codes for corporations that makes them worth putting up even if it's going to stay empty for the foreseeable future?
Don't know why he won' t mention where he's at. Looks like just in the bottoms between Wood River and Caseyville. The big Chains like Amazon and many others are turning the entire area into one gigantic warehouse district. It's just off the interstate.
@@woowaptibam5253 It's on Google Earth. If the big bad guberment didn't want you to know about it they would have blacked it out. He's just trying to be "mysterious" when it's all just one big, foil hat, conspiracy, bullsh-t, theory. Anything for clicks. @@ If HE found it on Google Earth anyone can if they know how.
@@lesc3054 Good call i just googled Bensenville and abandoned neighborhood. If that is where he was it's apparently an eminent domain issue with O'hare
You should see who is the owner of the land now. This must stop or we run out of farm land than we will not have any food. Corn is the backbone of our food supply.
did they get divorced or foreclosed on? strange they left pictures like it was a divorce. they left like $10k in stuff like they had to move into an apartment.
I don't like these warehouses clearing out neighborhoods. I Really dislike waste windows and stuff can be salvaged and used elsewhere and doors etc. The stuff people leave behind is a crime. I love farm community so relaxing and low or no crime. Sat on my mom's porch a few years ago the silence and millions of stars. All of a sudden a dog barking way off in the distance
Unless I missed it in the video, what town is this? I live in southern Illinois and this breaks my heart seeing family farms abandoned. The big keep getting bigger and the small keep getting smaller. I'd like to look up what the warehouses are actually used for.
@@jenbean6597 Wilmington isnt in southern Illinois though. Its pretty close to Joliet. All the warehouse construction there is an extension of the Elwood, IL industrial park and railyard.
All that pretty tile (in the kitchen & bathrooms) to be laid to waste 😭 In the 90s, a grocery store claimed my grandma's house for their parking lot. 30 years later, I've learned that the entire street was eliminated! All the homes from the 30s and earlier, are gone!
Champwsox05 yes I have seen it ( I'm a retired school bus driver who made frequent trips to Dekalb) and I agree I also hate the sight of all of those windmills cluttering up the farm fields South of Dekalb ( most of which are turned off and not producing any " green energy" whatsoever! Where all of this is going I'm not quite certain but it can't be good.
I drove from Chicago to Des Moines and back last week and the drive was beautiful with the fall colors and farm landscape etc. by far the ugliest part of the trip we’re the thousands of giant wind turbines in IL and IA most of which were barely spinning if at all. It really got me thinking that there has to be an ulterior motive to those hideous structures. I was thinking maybe they are markers for satellites, maybe they are markers showing China conquered us, etc. Regardless as someone with a ton of street smarts and common sense the energy angel makes zero sense to me. These turbines were smack dab in the middle of not only some of the most prime farmland in the country but in the world. I saw them for miles and miles driving along I-80 and I-88. We need to dig into the real motive for these nature destroying eyesore making structures.
Many of those warehouses are data centers. Since everyone has a phone now, the need for data space increases. It's happening in my Illinois town too. If people want this trend to end, then go back to no internet service on your phone or computer.
data centers don't require huge warehouses with an excessive amount of square footage. Mostly towers. Everyone likes to shop on line. That's where your warehouses come in.
@@0906blue Maybe I should take you some photos. Ours here are EXACTLY the same. These store the servers, wires and everything else needed for our current online lifestyles. And when they are buying the land you discussed, they are typically paying top dollar for it. Let's be honest, unfortunately the days of the small family farm are dwindling. The majority of our produce is being imported from Mexico and other countries.
All these empty warehouses could be easily and quickly converted to prisons if the “need” arose. The exterior walls are made of thick, heavy concrete panels. You could bolt some pre-fab cages to the floor in short order.
I used to live on the farm that was shown in depth in this video. The names of the family written on the wall are the names of my aunt and cousins. I grew up here for almost 20 years, and seeing it in this current state is just heartbreaking. The more modern home was built in the late 90s/early 2000s, while the old farmhouse and barn had been in my family for generations. I still remember the day when my dad had to approach me and tell me that the farm was being sold, and by then it was a multi-year waiting process just biding our time until we were eventually told we had to leave. By the time the word had come, I had left for college and no longer lived on the farm, but when I came home for breaks I would help out wherever I could. Watching this video and seeing all of these rooms I have vivid memories of just leaves me feeling empty. The pool I would spend summers with family at, the kitchen where my grandparents and aunt would cook for all of us, the massive fireplace where Christmas would always be celebrated, and even my old bedroom (still complete with the Spider-Man 3 wallpaper and paint theming). All reduced to this.
Putting nostalgia and emotion aside, this video brings to light a major problem with the systems that are in place and the constant rush for development. No one cares to think of what will happen to the people who lived here, the stories that remained for generations, and the sheer amount of passion that goes into creating a home. I hope that this video can stay as a reminder of just how much decisions like this can alter the lives of many, and showing how destroyed it has become should hopefully at least keep it in the back of our minds. Ultimately, society is just building itself up to create bigger numbers, and for those of you who may have been affected by this as well, know that at least I hear you. I know your pain. You just saw mine firsthand.
I remember when that (peotone airport) was going 2 b built and my boyfriend's (family's land) wanted to b taken ....thankfully that didn't go throw
But as a kid there was a stretch off 55 were at least 10 houses same thing happened.I remember my uncle saying something about a Gaint Mall but it didn't happen and 🏘 sat vacant4 years ...they just started building there Last year and these ppl moved probably 20 years ago I wanna say .
Did your dad ever share the reason of why he sold? Or why he had to sell?
Thank you very much for your comment. My heart was breaking just seeing multiple farms abandoned in rich, dry land (no need for irrigation) country. I can’t help but think there’s a more sinister reason that traces back to a wealthy elitist with nefarious plans for humanity.

same thing happened here in kenosha. they demolished 80 houses for the foxconn facility 5 years ago, they built massive warehouses and then abandoned the deal. people lost family property that's been with them for generations, some people were forced to move out of their dream house that they just finished building. all for nothing.
A Chinese company. Disgusting!
I lived in Kenosha for a few years through Covid as well. Whatever happened to Durand Avenue? Did they ever get that shit fixed wasn’t that at all because of fox conn? Water drainage and pipes running to Lake Michigan
@americanmovement4535tHe construction is a lot better now & finished
Don't forget that Scott Walker, and Trump was endorsing this build, making money including FoxConn out of this because they just know.. Once they have the money, that's all they care about.
A Foxconn facility will bring in way more money for the town and state than some farm land. Let’s be real here.
So sad to see beautiful houses in that condition when we have a housing shortage and so many families dealing with homelessness.
The family that lived in that house may be among them. Happens all the time. People forced into homelessness while their former homes stay empty forever.
That problem is also in large part brought on by 3.5 million people entering our nation in a short time span while their bill is being picked up by our taxpayers. Putting our own on the street.
mostly newer 90s 80s era homes too, barely even broken in
We are overpopulated.
THIS.
I live in Illinois and I have noticed a disturbing trend any farm land that comes up for sale that is in close proximity to a major interstate is being bought up by trucking companies that build huge " logistic centers" you can travel for miles and all you see is these centers ( an outfit called Pro Logis seems to be a major player in these developments) I know Illinois is a major transportation hub but I wonder where all of this is going, and the long term effects on the environment.
Have you seen what they've done in DeKalb south of I88 near the Peace Road exit? It's disgusting.
happens every where
I live off the interstate in southern IL. We haven’t had trucking companies or anything like that. Some farmland bought up for food factories but shit buy me out I hate this state!!!!
That’s Facebook warehousing servers. On 88 and peace in DeKalb. FYI. Ya tons of warehouses being built …. But why ???
Goes on to a certain degree in Missouri also. Missouri isn't as blue as Illinois so that helps. The problem is we are centrally located in America so that's what they all want. Corporate greed at its best.
Man, that is such a shame. Many of us will never be able to afford anything like this and here this once beautiful home sits in ruins awaiting demolition. What a complete waste.
I don't know if they were bought out for a high price or forced out for a low price. I'm from a real estate family and I've seen both.

We have them here in Ohio too. Empty. Acres & acres of empty warehouses??? They bring in big heavy equipment, earth movers & you can see the wildlife scattering & months later. Empty warehouses. Weird.
these warehouse are scary. They are up to no good
They are popping up all over the place. We already have empty warehouses. If they needed a warehouse, they could just buy already existing ones.

What's real strange is the lack of work being done on the replacements. You'd be surprised how much land gets bought out and cleared for warehouses that never gets used to build anything. Eventually ends up getting sold off to mysterious buyers.

Are they devaluing all our properties so what's to come will try and take it for nothing? Rivian is being built right now, almost in my back yard. Not many homes left up on the main state hwy that connects to Rivian. The side road that cuts beside my home well there's only seven homes left five if they only want the land that actually connects to Rivian.
@@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq Hey there. My coworker and I were just discussing Rivian & the plant they are supposedly building in Georgia. Are from the Blo-No area? Just curious because that's the only facility I knew of. Hadn't heard they are building more in Illinois.
@@adriangoede7433 ,I live in Georgia. The Rivian plant is right behind my house. They plan on starting up next year. They are also building an on sight battery plant. We didn't know of this. It was just released to the public. I know other manufacturer of these lithium batteries have trouble with fires all the time. That would mean an evacuation of the people living close by. Not looking forward to all this. An it's just the beginning. Real estate investors are trying to buy some properties right now,for they know axillary businesses will follow something this huge. Trouble is they want your home and land for nothing. Hoping to sell off to some business and make bank on it. I'm holding out. Really I don't want to move. Too old an I hate thinking of all the years I have been here an my roses and flowers. Every tree I planted all my shrubs.
@@adriangoede7433 They already have one in Illinois. It stays in the red. Loosing money daily. Laid off over half the workers. They had done purchased land in Savanah Georgia on the coast plus a train tracks already there an a loading dock from the ocean. Makes for easier shipping of materials needed. Don't know why they dropped the plan to open there. It was a great place. Now they're cutting roads thru,which that's on tax payer money. Train tracks will soon be installed. On Hwy 278, we have Stanton Springs. It's across the bridge. The interstate separates each site. They're calling these Mega Sites. The three counties are Morgan (County I live in) Newton, Walton.

We're just at the beginning of this on Northern Kentucky. A warehouse sits where there was once woods across the street from a local library. CVG just built three or four new warehouses in a neighborhood, tearing down several houses on the process, near a farm that is now being torn down to build a warehouse. My nice hundred and thirty year old hometown is probably going to be demolished for warehouses in my lifetime.
Tohouse people when EVIL takes over
Correct. It all started on Mineola Pike back in 2003. Yes, some of those homes have been vacant for 20 years.
The few that remain occupied will be taken over when the owners move on or pass on. Same with the little street behind them.
Similar stuff is happening in Fairfield Twp Ohio along Seward Rd.

I see a lot of farmland not being farmed all over the country. I traveled extensively for my job and the farms I did see mostly except in Iowa and Nebraska were wind farms.

Watching from Texas. Sooooo sad how big companies are taking over America
I agree and it's not American's buying these up it's China and other countries and even our own government selling out America for their own gain and power. Profit over people. Makes me sick!
sooooo sad that companies have always been taking over everywhere.
I remember when this was happening in the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania. Farms were vanishing, industrial parks replaced them, it got so bad the county or state had to put the brakes on to stop it? Because they were building so fast 90% of the buildings were vacant forever. They had to pass a rule/law that they can't build anyone unless the previous construction was at 90% capacity. So much had changed while I lived in that area when I go back the farmlands I remember are unrecognizable.
I live in the plain/joliet area. They continue to build massive warehouses in these areas, including Romeoville, bolingbrook, anywhere there is vacant land. Build it, and they will come. It seems to be the rule around here.and they do come, even in the worst economies. They would build massive warehouses, and someone would buy or rent them. What's going on?
im in lebanon county they just stared selling all the farmland its actually fukd and so depressing its now warehouses and developments.
It's good you are filming this. I had no idea this is happening. I'm sure warehouses could be built without driving people out of their homes! I'm a conspiracy theorist. I wonder what is going to go inside the warehouses? Also maybe this is part of the push to get people into 15 minute cities.
it has potential - we moved into a fixer upper and it was worse than this - still working on it since 2011 a little at a time staying out of debt - teaching our children to stay out of debt and home schooling them
This home has been bought, if you can get enough money,it's best to go before property value in the area drops to nothing. It to will be used for a fire drill for the fire dept. Once it starts, whomever is buying and throwing up cheap warehouses that are just sitting there, acting as some kind of something is coming well it's a big land grab. Those who own the land and food owns the people. Bill Gates? Look at Maui, the land grab already by celebrities. This is what happens when only one percent own all the wealth. Want to protest? Well we have seen what they do to protesters who protest against them. But if you're into just walking into a CVS or high dollar clothing store and take what you want. It's cool. The cashiers will actually tell you to have a nice day as you're walking out. Remember AOC tells you let them take what they want you got insurance. But she was so frightened on that one particular day. When she wasn't even there. But down the street. Oh I heard footsteps was only a security guard. 😂 Don't know where the squad is at these days. Don't see nothing about them anymore same with the VP. They know they have ruined this country. And they think whomever it is they have been working for, doing the dirty work, that they're safe in their homes, and will continue to live an easy life ,cause they all were promised. Well the Devil lies. And he will leave you with the consequences of what you did, and laugh about it.
That storm shelter is a cellar. They were common for older country homes to have. They were used to store homemade jarred vegetables & fruits.
It’s was for a tornado that happened to my family
That one was used for storing milk cans until the truck picked them up.
Root cellar.
It's a root cellar. Where root vegetables were stored thru the winter up to the next crops cone in. Carrots, onions, beets, potatoes, rutabaga, certain types of squash like butternut. Then they had the butlers pantry off the kitchen for canned foods. Smoke houses for curing hams. They salted down fat back and streak of lean, made lard, all when they killed a pig after the first really cold spell kicked off winter. They waisted nothing of a hog. Chickens for eggs and a couple of hens for Sunday dinners. Deer meat,rabbits, fish. Trees were grown for the food, pecans, walnuts. Etc. Peach apple, crabapple, plum, ,wild berries picked for jellies an jams. Women took care of all this,while husband planted fields to sell. One can survive if they have the will to do so. Too many done lost the skill,or won't do the work it takes. Best start learning.
@@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq I grew up on a dairy farm. Trust me, it's for storing milk and cream in milk cans until the milkman can pick them up before mechanical refrigeration. It's poured concrete, it's not old enough to be a root cellar. If it was, it would be closer to the house, not the barn.
And I relly appreciate you not trashing the place it was a wonderful farm and the vandal trashed it
No one has fond memories of the warehouse where they grew up.
There is loads of open space property available just outside this "town"
Why would they build on a neighborhood instead of buying several hundred acres 2 miles away?
Its all got to do with the proximity of an interstate, the closer they are the more " efficient" they are get the trucks off the highway switch loads/ trailers ( you can't send a double trailer, or worse a triple trailer rig into Chicago) and get them back onto he highway again, within minutes, if they had to travel another two miles they would lose time and burn fuel.

Depends on the deal that is worked out. Most of the time people get paid more then their property is worth if they don't fight the state. The state then might say you can't remove anything because they may turn around and try to recoup some money by having an auction for anything people might want out of the house. In some cases a house might even be movable and the entire thing gets sold and relocated. So they don't allow anything to be removed for these reasons. Other times, they may simply not care and allow people to take whatever they want.
@@marcuslinton310 ,There's laws when it comes to the state. They will offer fair market value which is always lower than the property is worth. I'm kind of in that situation now.

Not having rent or house payments make it so much easier tho the price of living has gone up so much, utilities, food,gas, meds, I could not afford rent .

Unfortunately this happens all the time. In Wisconsin, companies would buy properties, give them fair market value, then let the people live there for free until the land was needed. Sometimes 20-25 years. Everything has a price.
Most people were forced to sell and didn’t want to leave. Many property owners and nearby residents of the local towns tried fighting it.
This is the saddest video in America. Sick to my stomach that this is the cost of progress and change. Families built these homes for these families that lived there, yes for for a 100 yrs! But we've done it to Natives before us... My family had a 400 acre farm from the1870's and it had its crops subsidized in the 1970's. So our family farm didn't make it through. This is today. We just can't seem to get it right.
there are a billion times more sad videos
Progress isn't always a good thing.
Reminds me a lot of what they did to cities as well. Build giant warehouses or factory, run downs property value to buy even more. Next thing you know you have a low income community where there used to be a prosperous one.
Absolutely love that house ! Wish I could have something like that 😞
When they leave their home in that condition, there was anger and something happened to make it so, they were most likely forced out if a life they cherished. FORCED!
Wishing bad karma on the company that did that to those people.
I am in love with the older farm but I'm addicted to the pool and deck at the other place
It sounds like the zoning board is corrupt
I'm sore that destruction was not from the previous owners... more likely from local kids, or adults and looters, who took what they could get, and hung out, partying , drinking, etc.
I'm sure*....
That has seems huge inside. I see this all across America. Literally towns that are completely empty. Some access roads are barricaded or dissected preventing you from driving across or around. Yet I never see anyone near or around these warehouses. What's inside them?!
What a shame. Corporations will consume everything.
Illinois is in the middle of the country and has major train and truck routes running from all directions. It is perfect for logistical setup in this e-commerce world we live in.
What a shame, heartbreaking to see that beautiful farm house knowing it’s going to be demolished. I’m from the uk and I love the American farm houses and some of the locations with these sort of properties are so beautiful. All money and greed x
BILL GATES HAVE A LOTS TO ANSWER TO
Warehouses are going up everywhere in record number. Generally see two sizes, one like in this video and another about 125k sqft in urban areas. Somebody needs to crack the code on this. This is a plan being executed not developers trying to profit.
It’s not a secret. The U.S. doesn’t manufacture much anymore. We import most of what we consume. The goods are brought by ship, train, and truck to these distribution warehouses. I don’t where this house is located … I’m guessing near Joliet, which is a major transshipment point.
@@brstoffel I am away of all that. The volume of them I have seen being added in the last year is more than 3 times what is already in place.
I’ve heard fema camps. Be very concerned
Takes a lot of products to support an endless out of control growing population.
@@brstoffelno Joliet …. Lorenzo iL
Where is this in Southern Illinois? Sure would of been nice to have started out the video on where you are in a region especially if you’re going to raise awareness of some corporate bullshit going on
I have seen a lot of these near Elwood
Lol yep about 30 minutes south of Chicago. Must be southern illinois 😂
Lorenzo, near Elwood and Wilmington
@@sunstirade1085I grew up in central IL but have lived in Chicago for 20 plus years. Anything outside of the city and suburbs is considered ‘downstate’ to a lot of people even Rockford. 😂
Houses on a country road are not a town (as I would define a town). The owners probably figured the worst to happen would be other houses joining them, but then the warehouses showed up.
If you understood how some IL towns are set up, then you'd know this IS a town. There are a number of small towns in IL that don't even have a stop sign, let alone a bar, post office, grocery, pharmacy... just nothing in them but a handful of a dozen family homes.
@@unicornlapI grew up in a town of about 6k people in central IL. Many towns around that area have a grain elevator and maybe a gas station if they’re lucky. A lot of them have the town name with no population listed. Often times one or two or three families make up an entire tiny town like that. Rural IL was beautiful but I hate to think of how it will look once the overlords get to it.
You find some awesome places. I'm new to the channel and enjoy the unique locations you explore. Occasionally tho, it seems like you're in a rush a little.. like at the barn house, there was a huge warehouse behind it and inspecting the interesting items left behind a little closer would really make it extra. Opening drawers, ancient refrigerators, talking about the items left behind in a bit more detail would be awesome! I'm gonna binge some of your videos tho because you have an amazing channel, thank you for exploring on foot as walking is an ability I lost recently.
Who OWNS these "warehouses" and what the hell are they for?
Warehouses are buildings that store things..... Dash Riprock is the developer, prob storing cocaine, hooefully
To house the goods Americans buy from overseas. Which is most of what we consume. The goods are brought to these regional warehouses for distribution by truck.
That's what I wanted to know.
@@michaelboydston9668 Dash Riprock is building these warehouses

What are the warehouses for
Useless eaters
Makes you wonder, just what are these massive warehouses going to house, or should I say, who.
Migrants perhaps?
Takes a lot of products to support an endless out of control growing population.
JADE HELM
Useless eaters
You really want to know? Then you need only look as far as your bathroom mirror. American consumerism - we - are doing this. Not everything’s a goddamn conspiracy.
I have to wonder what warehouses are ultimately for?! Is there really so much stuff in circulation that they need to keep building is massive structures?
Be very wary. Do not get on train
I think the same thing. To what, imprison us all?????
Most of the buildings used for farming equipment
People?
I live in Southern Indiana and it's ridiculous that when these companies go bust, they get to just leave it all behind...leaving the citizens to have to eventually clean it up.
Work of the global corporate steamroller
That record player is literally killing me my Grandma had one like that and I'm crying holy crap pan out and show me an address I'll take the b&e I'm going back to the record player.
Damn that’s crazy! So they were forced to leave? Or bought out?
Bought out. Forced isn't the official word but could be implied
Damn, it’s such a beautiful area. Sad to see it’s just gonna be big ugly buildings.
This was my family’s farm and we were forced out
Such beautiful homes. Sad that they will be torn down😢
@@user-gp6vg6hc3t So sad that you had to leave your beautiful home. Which company forced to get your family out of your home?
Hello. My name is Colin, and I live in this area. The big corporations have succeeded in taking our home from us. Every home around us was destroyed and we were left to watch until it caught up with us. These companies underpay us and expect us to deal with it. Thank you so much for making a video on what is going on here. ❤
Look at Lockport, romeoville, Joliet, and Elwood illinois. There is probably double to triple the amount of warehouses there then when I started driving 10 years ago.
You are close... Lorenzo
These properties were taken by the railroad, for warehouses and a new rail yard.
Those houses were then abandoned and broken into by vandals seeking whatever they could take, mostly copper piping.
I drive back there all the time. This is located in Lorenzo IL, just north of Coal City.
Direct message me on Instagram please
wow... I looked up the map views and could see some of the ruined houses.. there was a field labeled as a warehouse so the satellite pics must be a bit old. thanks for the info so I could soothe my curiosity.
Putting in a railroad spur. Sounds about right. Emanate Demane hopefully compensated well 😊
@@StringerMedia Center point
@@jessemendoza2991I thought it looked like center pointer.
This is happening in Ohio & Indiana as well. Most likely foreign buyers like China & Saudis 🙄
People that have homes & farms like these don't trash stuff when they move. Even if they know they will be torn down. That's too painful for people that have worked hard & raised their families & animals there.
Most likely the family has been gone over a year or so. Destructive, ill-raised teenagers came by & destroyed the properties because they don't have any emotional attachment to the place. And they're pieces of 💩, like their parents & grandparents never raised right 🙄
You don’t have to be xenophobic and why the assumption?
Do better and grow up. Don’t deflect and generalize: 🎉
I can't believe the belongings that people leave behind. 🤯
This was surely the work of vandals. No one would desecrate their own home. I once had to move because they were widening a highway. We received fair market value and the community was improved as a whole. Was this an agricultural buy-out?
I definitely think it was definitely vandals. I can see the kids writing on the walls”like goodby farm” because it’s going to be torn down anyway, but not the damage like busting the counters, oven, knife and bottles(though people do odd things when they are upset 🤷🏻♀️). I just don’t see it though
Very very sad though. It looks to me like this was their dream home, they had a pool so I don’t think you’d spend that money on something you stay in short term. It’s so sad when big companies buy people and farms out, it happened to my home town and all the farms that once were are now Fred Meyers and shopping malls, or highways. I get that cities evolve, it just makes towns so much less genuine when these things happen. I’d be devastated if the home I built was leveled for a warehouse and I was bought out at below market price. Just so unfair..
I doubt that it was an agricultural buy out as these " logistical centers" seem to be popping up every where I look, the areas that I am most familiar with I 55 starting on the south side of Bolingbrook going as far South as Joliet, and the I 80 corridor going West from Joliet to Morris ( about 80 miles west of Chicago.) Seem to be sprouting them like weeds, the same goes for the I 94 corridor between the Illinois border and Milwaukee, and Milwaukee to Madison Wisconsin.
Where is all the money coming from? If you follow the money trail to the origin? Also warehouses can be a front, doesn’t mean that they’re actually doing business. This is a very interesting story. If our government is so concerned about reparations, and everybody being treated fairly in 2023, you would think that this would not be happening in America.
I get so upset when I see this that place is beautiful. Most of us would give anything to have a place like that . I wouldn't move !!! How sad!
WE END UP LIVING IN A POD HELLO CCP CHINA
Dude I’ve been watching all your videos I’m obsessed. This is kinda weird but hearing you breathing in the videos kinda makes me feel like I’m there too exploring. 🤘🏻
why storage centers? dont they need people to work them? where the people going to stay if you burn down the houses? i dont get it.
It's a shame to see places where memories were made go to waste. These were perfectly good homes to live in.
The fly at 19:37 was all like, "Bro! You're the first human I have seen in ages. Wanna be friends?" 😂
Love the video so fare but the camera pans around to fast and hurts the eyes..but this house has so many great rooms
Dude there are thousands worth if copper in that basement alone. 😂
I had the same problem with the camera panning too fast.
The shape that house is in still looks better than what I've got.😂 😂
Considering that hardly anyone wants to work anymore, I don't know why anything is being built.
What are all these warehouses for???
Demand for items
Lol. I think you really need to rethink yourself. Wake up@@StringerMedia
Who and what are they going to fill these warehouses with?
Useless eaters
At the cost of diesel fuel it makes no sense for trucking companies to build rural warehouses
Here's what I don't get, I'm watching these warehouses going up left and right. A lot of them don't have tenants or a plan, they're just going up as fast as possible. Is there some new tax codes for corporations that makes them worth putting up even if it's going to stay empty for the foreseeable future?
Camps
I guarantee you it's not for a good purpose.
@@aspensulphate After what we have seen since CV-19, I agree with you. Evil intent.
Quarantine facilities for the next plandemic???
Prisons for the lawful like us while they let hardened criminals out of real prison
Don't know why he won' t mention where he's at. Looks like just in the bottoms between Wood River and Caseyville. The big Chains like Amazon and many others are turning the entire area into one gigantic warehouse district. It's just off the interstate.
Yeah I was wondering the same? It really shouldn't be that big of a deal. Just naming the town is not the same as giving out an address.
Kinda weird!
@@woowaptibam5253 It's on Google Earth. If the big bad guberment didn't want you to know about it they would have blacked it out. He's just trying to be "mysterious" when it's all just one big, foil hat, conspiracy, bullsh-t, theory. Anything for clicks. @@ If HE found it on Google Earth anyone can if they know how.
I'll admit to FFing through a lot of the monotone bs and eventually muting it but I never caught was WHY they bought out houses.
I think he is in Bensenville Illinois.
@@lesc3054 Good call i just googled Bensenville and abandoned neighborhood. If that is where he was it's apparently an eminent domain issue with O'hare
You should see who is the owner of the land now. This must stop or we run out of farm land than we will not have any food. Corn is the backbone of our food supply.
Most of the corn grown is used for animal feed
@@patperry4268 yeah the animals we eat
@@RetroAPcorrect
did they get divorced or foreclosed on? strange they left pictures like it was a divorce. they left like $10k in stuff like they had to move into an apartment.
I don't like these warehouses clearing out neighborhoods. I Really dislike waste windows and stuff can be salvaged and used elsewhere and doors etc. The stuff people leave behind is a crime. I love farm community so relaxing and low or no crime. Sat on my mom's porch a few years ago the silence and millions of stars. All of a sudden a dog barking way off in the distance
Unless I missed it in the video, what town is this? I live in southern Illinois and this breaks my heart seeing family farms abandoned. The big keep getting bigger and the small keep getting smaller. I'd like to look up what the warehouses are actually used for.
It’s considered Wilmington, IL, on the west side of 55. About 20 mins or so south of Joliet.
@@jenbean6597 Wilmington isnt in southern Illinois though. Its pretty close to Joliet. All the warehouse construction there is an extension of the Elwood, IL industrial park and railyard.
@@Eabatuyou’re right, I mean I would call it Chicagoland basically since that’s what I consider Joliet and things are gradually growing south
@@Eabatubut I think they said southern to mean not Chicago
@@jgpix1 ya, I guess anything south of I-80 is considered southern Illinois to non-Chicagoans
Greed and corruption, the American way!
All that pretty tile (in the kitchen & bathrooms) to be laid to waste 😭
In the 90s, a grocery store claimed my grandma's house for their parking lot. 30 years later, I've learned that the entire street was eliminated! All the homes from the 30s and earlier, are gone!
The second property had so much wood that should be reclaimed. Amazing!
It pisses me off!
Champwsox05 yes I have seen it ( I'm a retired school bus driver who made frequent trips to Dekalb) and I agree I also hate the sight of all of those windmills cluttering up the farm fields South of Dekalb ( most of which are turned off and not producing any " green energy" whatsoever! Where all of this is going I'm not quite certain but it can't be good.
I drove from Chicago to Des Moines and back last week and the drive was beautiful with the fall colors and farm landscape etc. by far the ugliest part of the trip we’re the thousands of giant wind turbines in IL and IA most of which were barely spinning if at all. It really got me thinking that there has to be an ulterior motive to those hideous structures. I was thinking maybe they are markers for satellites, maybe they are markers showing China conquered us, etc. Regardless as someone with a ton of street smarts and common sense the energy angel makes zero sense to me. These turbines were smack dab in the middle of not only some of the most prime farmland in the country but in the world. I saw them for miles and miles driving along I-80 and I-88. We need to dig into the real motive for these nature destroying eyesore making structures.
Many of those warehouses are data centers. Since everyone has a phone now, the need for data space increases. It's happening in my Illinois town too. If people want this trend to end, then go back to no internet service on your phone or computer.
data centers don't require huge warehouses with an excessive amount of square footage. Mostly towers. Everyone likes to shop on line. That's where your warehouses come in.
So they are making more servers????
@@0906blue Maybe I should take you some photos. Ours here are EXACTLY the same. These store the servers, wires and everything else needed for our current online lifestyles. And when they are buying the land you discussed, they are typically paying top dollar for it. Let's be honest, unfortunately the days of the small family farm are dwindling. The majority of our produce is being imported from Mexico and other countries.
@@annatullison1482 yes. I've personally never seen a data center in a tower. It's sad but true.
What town?
All these empty warehouses could be easily and quickly converted to prisons if the “need” arose. The exterior walls are made of thick, heavy concrete panels. You could bolt some pre-fab cages to the floor in short order.
Who would they be planning to put in the prisons?
GOVT@@africkinamerican
You have a voice, you should have named the companies forcing these people out. Great video!
Watching from the uk 🇬🇧 this is shocking what’s happening to these neighbourhoods being bulldozed for Amazon warehouses.😢
Absolutely beautiful I would love to live there just imagine what it would cost to build that house buy the land to put it on. Easley 1 million
