In this episode we are exploring an abandoned neighborhood that is slated to be demolished and soon become a Costco.
The future fate for this neighborhood began back in 1998.
Next door to the neighborhood is a large mall which wanted to expand its property and over 20 years started purchasing any plots of land or buildings in its surrounding area.
A $100 million dollar plan was proposed by the mall for expansion and over the years started buying out homes in this little neighborhood.
We found an article about a man who planned to sell his home to the mall and shared his experience.
Their next-door neighbor, an elderly woman, was a holdout. She wanted to live her last days in her home.
The man had agreed to sell his home to the mall for $325,000 but in 2011, he had put down a deposit on a new home to buy when suddenly plans fell through and the mall delayed buying his home. He lost his deposit on the new home since he never received his $325,000 after waiting for a period of time. He then had to return to his home that he already handed over to the mall and had significant repair work to do. He said they had torn things out of their house, since they had a short time to move and it was to be demolished.
The mall allowed him to stay there for up to a year rent and tax free while the mall figured out their issues with the original plan.
The man stated he was never told what plans they had for all the land that they purchased.
Later on he learned about the proposal for a Costco, and he felt it is too intense of a use for something of that size and was worried about the increase in traffic for the area.
Eventually the plan continued on as planned and the man finally found a nice condominium just a couple miles from his old house. He explained that he downsized and is really happy here now.
So in that respect everything worked out well.
Now lets get started with our exploration of this abandoned neighborhood while it still exists.
