  • 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!

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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 :)

      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."

One on Guernsey Trail and the other on Hereford Lane in Cary, North Carolina. One made over 3 million and the other almost 3 million. The others only made a few hundred thousand for theirs. The properties are right across the road from WakeMed Cary Hospital.

We had 5 channels. It was late 70s early 80s. Consoles were the deal!! We never switched to Plasma or LCD or whatever until we had to for cable, but we still have older TVs that were from late 90s to 2000s that work with cable so great deal :)

      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.

    The older house on Kildare Rd, across the street from Wake-Med/Cary, was beautiful. I think that hunk of property in front was originally a horse farm. The cul-d-sac was behind the manor style house. I wouldn't be surprised if a doctor or two were already living in those houses when the offer was made. They are now in the process of finishing up construction projects on the property. That highway behind is US 64.

    You people need to realize that if those people did not budge, then the company would have aimed for imminent domain, and if they would have won then everyone in that neighborhood would have gotten bottom dollar. The payoff the city would have received to force those people out would have been an obscene amount of cash, and the neighbors would have walked away with chump change. The only reason they didn't do imminent domain on the last 2 houses is because it would have not been worth it, so they paid them 20 times what the houses and properties were worth just to get them out!

Last I checked there is not a single payer health system in America. Bottom line is the homeowners scored a huge payout to make it not worth their while to fight or stay. It may have been a sad day but they are living the American dream and quite well at that.

      Eminent domain can only be issued by the government. It is a VERY abused system, fraught with corruption, under market compensation to property owners, payoffs to political cronies, typical of the way government operates. In this instance, it appears this community was bought out by a private corporation. In that case, they were likely compensated very well for their homes.

      Everyone is afraid of getting old. It's just that nobody talks about it. :/

      Give your life to Jesus. Invite Him into your heart. Romans 10:9-10. Spend time with Him. Let Him in. He loves you and will never leave you. When you leave this life, you’ll be with Him in Heaven 😇

      That LG French Door Refrigerator was worth about 2k

    I live a few miles from this and went to visit the other day. I wasn't sure if I was in the right place but turns out it is now a huge retirement community that has yet to open.

    Well at least they didn't burn everything down the way they do here in California :-(

      I've found some abandoned places, but the most would be like a shopping center.
