When I win the lottery, I'm going Into a location such as this to build a decoy house constructed with 12 inch thick steel reinforced concrete walls and 2" thick bulletproof glass windows and NO DOORS (open house).. I'm gonna outfit it with snake dens built into the floors of every room and beehives built into all the ceilings.. then I'm gonna fill it up with rattlesnakes and Africanized killer bees.. Then I'm gonna take what's left of my money and move down to Argentina
There's some really nice areas around kingman...like the higher elevations up near hualapi mtns....a lot cooler up there and less crime...no different than anywhere else...theres good and bad areas near EVERY city in America....do your research before u choose where to live! If u think kingman is hot try living along the Colorado River in the summer!! Temps reach 120+ every year. I live in bullhead city, AZ....35 miles west on hwy #68.
Antelope Canyon is a small place, that is on indian land. The indians view it as a money maker so they don't care how many tourists they truck in there. Because of this, the last few times I visited there it was flooded with tourists...just another place were loving to death.
Oh, I don't know for sure, but thousands of years. The Romans and Greek both used concrete. Thanks for your question, and, for watching. Hope you'll check out some of my other videos. Cheers, Mike
Because I did not film any, so needed to augment. There is still some signage, one is an old truck trailer. Another says something like "3 miles back..."
Very sad. But I agree with AzBob, Arizona doesn't have the water for luxury subdivisions. Especially not those with grass lawns, ponds, swimming pools, and golf courses.
My wife and I upon retiring contemplated moving to Kingman. We have been through there numerous times and have spent some nights there. After consideration we decided not to move there. Reasons are is that its it's too isolated and the question of the availability of water. Some places are nice to visit but you wouldn't want to live there.
We lived in Kingman for 4 years. We thought it would be a nice little town and had a nice home built. For us, the biggest problem was lack of adequate medical care. There are very, very few doctors in town. They've had lots of resident physicians that the medical center made promises to, but never kept, so those doctors left. When searching for a doctor on the medical center's web site, we learned they never deleted the names of doctors who packed up and moved on. There's not much in the way of stores, so if you want anything, you need to go to Las Vegas. Only good thing was airport in Vegas was easy to get to. We never had issues with water and were never asked to restrict usage. You were smart to move somewhere else.
Wow, only 1 city from the Midwest and it's in Wisconsin... The only redeeming quality of the Midwest is Autumn - it's warm while looking beautiful, as opposed to the Northeast.
So, why is NOBODY living there? Sure seems like putting that much time and a big boat load of cash into this project, it wouldn't have been abandoned for a huge loss. Such a waste.
I cannot understand why ANYONE WITH A CHOICE Would deliberately live in a place that is life threatening. Pick a user-friendly gorgeous part of the Earth.
There are a few of these currently listed for sale at around 200,000 a pop. I don't know if utilities are available or if there was any water . Looks like the tweakers and scavengers have ripped out anything of value, leaving tons of expensive repairs. The entire mess might be salvageable but only if they were all renovated as a group.
I'm pretty sure you did not think through this comment, because it is pretty ignorant. Let me ask you one question...why? Why should anyone be forced to restore private property to its original condition? Did you watch the entire video? The builder went under during the financial crisis, do you think they wanted to walk away from these homes?? 🤦♂️
Time to face the fact that we've all been hoodwinked by the media & entertainment industry. Simply put, there is no way that most southwestern areas can support the masses of population that have been brainwashed into thinking that the older areas are not good places to live.
