After the huge response that we received from Suzy's story about a seemingly abandoned neighborhood in Connecticut, we brought in the TH-camr, Themightymoze, who created the original video to give us the low down.

You never broke in to any house. People just have to make trouble. Great job Mark. I saw the video. Looks like a great area. What a shame
This kind of thing has been going on in Connecticut for decades. Valley Hospital in Middletown, Norwich State Hospital etc. state facilities closed, yet tax dollars being spent to keep them in place. Millions of dollars wasted every year that no one knows about.
Behind Southbury Training School there are hundreds of abandon buildings, farms etc
Malloy can't seem to find money to repair our infrastructure yet there's money to maintain an entire abandoned neighborhood.
How many people rot in dump holes like Bella Vista yet this neighborhood goes to the weeds. It's disgusting and pittiful.
This is another reason why our corrupt state such high taxes. Why not sell off plots of land to good hard working people that can't quite afford to buy a home. Give them a chance to get a leg up in life.
If you are going to leave it abandoned then how about using the criminals locked up playing pool and video games to cut the grass and fix the houses??

AMEN, It's all about "Bankster" mentality, no Christianity, no semblance of humanity, just
cold, greedy, bureaucrat avarice. And another ghost town with zero tax value available for eminent domain to sell off to yet another developer (maybe even an associate of that bureaucrat)
There is always the tinge or
stench of corruption considering the opportunity available. But some Disabled, & Homeless Veterans might have been helped to regain some semblance of normal
humanitarian life. And That is
sad. Peace.
Malloy Is A Clown
Ned Lamont? More From The Looney Left.
Malloy is a piece a shit
*Corrupticut*
There should be a joint venture with Habitat for Humanity, and the VA, to rehab those homes, and allow the Veterans to buy them, while learning the building trades.
Who's cutting the grass?🤔
Having worked there for many years believe perfect for Community College and housing for elders.
I live in CT it's far to expensive to live
Try NY( NYC, Long Island, Westchester county...)!!!!!
No it's not. NY is waaay more expensive
@@geowilson242 ... Ct ranks #5 most expensive place to live. NY ranks #17 on the same list. What you don't see are all the hidden costs. Ct has more hidden taxes than just about any other state.... from movie tix to gasoline. That said, if you have a serious trade under your belt a blue collar worker can earn close to 6 figures, which is hard to do anywhere else.
Love the interview. You folks have a very good TH-cam channel. 105.5 is from Danbury? I'll have to start listening to you when I travel down to the area
There are even more unoccupied buildings on the hill behind the school the magnitude of waste is unparalleled
I think it would make a beautiful place to live. They should sell each home very cheap and allow each person to do their own restoring of the home they buy. Seems there are alot of strange things connected with Connecticut for some reason.
No money no honey
I agree!
Somebody should lease the area, rehab some of those and run it like a property manager. Airbnb them all.
There are now only 224 residents and 630 employees at the cost to the state and federal government. So we all get to pay for another waste. And many residents would like to go to other places, they are stuck just as well.
METALLUST MANOWAR yes
These homes should be refit so the remaining residents of the Southbury Training School could be cared for there keeping a large building for support. Then they can close the rest of the campus. Personally I think that the campus could be revamped into a community for mentally challenged people. It could provide medical, dental, other necessary services but also add in small stores and other small service based businesses for residents to work in. You could take the campus model and change it to a community model. They have the money already if they do a little at a time and change the law to accept new residents. Right now it costs an estimated $360,000 per resident to upkeep such a large are for so little use. They are either going to have to knock down all that history to break even or they could provide groundbreaking community building which would benefit the local economy and restore a part of history that is not cared for in this country.
It’s not move in condition but can be used for something. However I still think infrastructure will need updating. A long term plan, community for something.
It is a shame these homes could not be rehabbed into homes for homeless families!!! What a great place for children!!!!!
BECAUSE ITS GOVT OWNED...
IF it were private it would be developed and there would be nice homes and area for dozens of middle class families
PM Beaham 👏👍
How about for our veterans
👍
Excellent idea.
Good for him that he found it!!! " Hello Connecticut!!!
fom my understanding the reason it's abandoned is cuz it wasnt properly funded which made it impossible to maintain to a level that the state requires to be considered a safe living space. It was once housing for people with mental disabilities. You cant just move homeless people into the houses , its a liability, while its a nice thought money has to come from somewhere to make things happen. Are you gunna pay for it?
How did u get that information?
gram gram L cause it’s true. I’ve lived near that part or the school for 36 years now... I used get services calls at those houses weekly. They are junk not livable and we’re not when they were finally closed for good. Aaaaaaaand where will the mo ur come from? The millennials that can afford 10$ coffee but not college tuition or to move out of moms and dads house? I’m all for helping but ppl that cry “why aren’t we fixing this” never actually do the the fixing and certainly can’t fund it!
@@coffeemom1229 But who pays for the demolition and disposal? And what would the proceeds be coming from? Engine if the building materials are salvageable. Everything is covered in mold and asbestos. The price to demo them would be enormous all on its own.
Ever since murphy has predicably joined along in chorus.
Southbury training school has been fighting to stay open in the first place. What Hes not saying is that Southbury training school was an insane Asylum, most of the buildings are giant brick structures that would take millions of dollars to repair and that neighborhood was probably for staff when the place was in full swing.
CRASHMAGNET It was for staff, but that doesn't explain why the taxpayers are covering the costs to maintain the streets, cut the grass and paint the fire hydrants in an unoccupied residential neighborhood!
CT is in a deep financial hole right now and we're paying for all this plus huge overtime costs for staffing a facility that stopped taking patients 30 years ago. The state should sell the property and buildings and relocate the remaining patients to private care facilities that cost half the amount it costs the state.
CRASHMAGNET ,your a moron it was never a insane asylum , do you see bars or wired fences around the buildings . The Training school was for people with developmental disabilities . The Pv Village was for clients and a few staff that had to be on call for work ,like the fire department .
jimwavect , The reason the streets are maintain and the grass cut is the place is still open and people still work there . And the state doesn't own the land ,they are leasing it ,so it has to be maintain as a part of there lease .
This is not abandoned...why is the grass and grounds maintained ?
It is an unused section of the school...i used to work there and it was where the supervisors lived a couple of years ago.
I'm gonna go squat there
I lived in CT. 35 yrs ago . As soon as you said cottages I knew it was southbury training school. I didn't know about the abandoned neighborhood but just figured it had to be be the training school grounds . Somebody has to pay to keep the lawns mowed. Pretty good guess huh ?
Great job! 😊 my family and I was planning to move to Connecticut... Not! It's just pathetic
The state is wasted
Oh please this wasn't breaking in .
Crazy
Yes it is!! If it ain't yours don't enter into it
Colleen ... I live not too far away and it's out of the way enough that nobody bothers anything, for the most part. I also watched the video and the only "exploring" he did was *IF* the place was open. He didn't force his way into any building.
There's some no trespassing signs on the road leading up to the place so yup, he was trespassing.
some staff lived here but it was mostly clients that lived in these buildings. I knee because I husband worked I side these building for years
Southbury Training School was never abandoned. It was shut down by the state of Connecticut. Rode his stupid scooter through a cemetery and filmed it. Wrong for Kicks 105.5 to bring attention to this
I wish I was better prepared...lol.
that DJ threw you under the bus. I'm suprised the state police weren't at the studio door waiting for you because of his big yap.
yeah they made a BIG HUUUGE point of making sure you agreed that you were tresspassing. I was wondering what happened to you. I wouldnt trust them again
Link ???
Anyone know if you can see it on google earth?
no break ins , coming from angry and jealous people.l amount many people did enjoyed this. keep making your great vidios dude.
Wow. This is crazy. It makes you wonder what really happened. Its creepy to me. I don't believe everyone who lived there decided to move out all at once. Come on!
gram ... they didn't move out all at once. People moved out at the normal rate (took well over a decade) as they changed jobs, etc, but they set a new policy to not allow any new people to move in.
Given the age of those houses, I'd bet they're full of asbestos. Beautiful neighborhood, but I think the houses would have to be torn down.
any answers? it’s 2019
Ash Smith No.
@@helensug507 ... actually, there's a video of the homes being prepared to be torn down. I believe it was summer of 2019. No actual demo, but machines lined up with workers and dumpsters all shot via drone. The video prior to that was showing the homes with asbestos siding already removed.
4:51 is it trespassing if there were no "no trespassing" signs?
there are no trespassing signs ,one at the main rd leading up there and a bunch around the woods .
Yes it is.
It probably was a proposed highway alignment that never happened. State right-of-way folks purchased properties, but highway ran outta funding or was built elsewhere.
Nobody lives there,go there all the time.just a silent creepy spot.its horrible they can't redo for veterans.they were lived in by the staff.one of my friends lived there.its just a screwup of connecticut.
Why were people removed from there?
Let's get a caravan of people together we'll rush right up there and move in. Home depot will donate the materials. I think the caravans on the way already.
You know this guy should realize no trespassing means no trespassing. I dare you go to the midwest like southern mo look for land that has purple dots on the Fence posts and trees with no trespassing. Nosy people arn't recieved very well.
They were probably billing for the housing and not using them.
Let the poor people stay there or make it into SECTION 8!!!!
Where in Connecticut?
Maria ... Southbury Ct. It's part of the old training school.
The State Of Connecticut. Oh my?
If there is a door nob or dead bolt on door it is breaking and entering.
Its not abandoned, clearly all the lawns are cut and nothing is overgrown.
Connecticut wasting our dollars.....
Burglary in the state of Ct. is defined as entering a dwelling or a place of business with the intent to commit a crime. Worst case scenario would be Criminal Trespassing!
They should also re-purpose most of the Ct. Valley Hospital in Middletown among other state owned properties that could be taxable!
I think I should take pics and get bus schedules give them out to ALL struggling families,homeless,SSI housing is much needed. Now that has been up for debate(ya right) I'm sure! Scooter Scott there can drive through June or July of 2019 and the state will demolish it rather then sink money into it,just saying😕
What about some Sect. 42 housing? Or building some Veteran's duplexes? I mean personally I think our Vetran's could use another peaceful sanctuary to live in. They deserve this. I wish our American people really knew how our Veterans insurance works and such. It's not always great to have to go to the VA to get their healthcare. They have no real personal doctor that they picked, unlike a regular citizen out here on the street. It's take who you get, re-tell us your story over & over again. It's not fair. Idk give our seniors a nice place to live on Sect. 42 or income based. Our seniors take it rough. They are on a fixed income, sometimes only 1 check (everyone does not get Soc. Sec. and a pension) and they don't get only 1 check by because they were lazy or anything. They are forced to pay rent, sometimes up to +35% of their income just for rent, plus utilities, food (they don't get hundreds in food stamps, they have insurance premiums & med co-pays. There's ways this area could benefit a group of deserving citizens who's paid taxes.
Put Murphy,Blumenthal and Malloy in there to live. Than we would have to see them ON TV every night listen to there lies and BS.
Close your eyes .. he sounds like Pete Davidson haha
Remember the Melonheads
They don’t want it coming out what happened fhere
Bet this guy is a ripper.
Not a nice thing to say or accuse a guy of!!!!
I wish I could speak toElon Musk, about repurposing the entire area.
welcome to AMERICA,.. the land of the wasteful
Waste of housing. Connecticut is useless!
Homeless?
Much to the chagrin of nicy nice people... I offer my own observation. Most people are simply just to afraid to say anything. Not I... However. Lay down in my grocery aisle... In my child's cafeteria... In the street outside my home in what you call opposition to my right under our Constitution to go about my daily business of life...you will soon find yourself on the wrong end of your misunderstood values.
