Exploring an abandoned subdivision in West Central Florida known as Hillside Estates, a housing project. The project consists of 90 units built in the 1970s. According to media sources, several past board members of the Brooksville Housing Authority were misusing funds provided to them by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development as well as not following policy guidelines. They couldn't afford to keep up with the ongoing maintenance and repairs to the homes forcing the residents to relocate with rental vouchers. Because only so many vouchers could be released at one time, there was a staggered exodus from the properties. The residents starting moving out in September of 2012 with everyone expected to be gone by December 2012. Below is a link of one of the news articles that paints more detail:

With the amount of people with no place to live in this country seeing this many houses sitting empty angers me. Cool video though.

@missmesomemj 9 лет назад

exactly what my thoughts were especially with that many units!

@bitw2001 9 лет назад

Couldn't agree more, so many ppl living on the streets can use these houses, shame :/ Great video though, never knew about this place Tiki :)

Kevin Letterman The place wood look like a GHETTO if "economically disadvantaged" people moved in. In 2 yrs it would look like a toilet! I would rather let the whole subdivision burn down, than move in the scum of the society. I am not saying everyone is, just the MAJORITY, unfortunately. You can and should not move in animals in nice houses until they are forcibly civilized. Amen.

@HelenaMikas 9 лет назад

jozef maly I take your point but have to say please dont insult animals .No animals steal funds , none do drugs and are scum .......There is a guy waiting somewhere to do a land deal .How do I know ? Just lived and viewed such a deal in Berlin .....

HelenaMikas I love animals! As a matter of fact, I am continuously taking stray cats to ASPC to be implanted with chips and for shots. Land deal? So, this is again about the "bad rich people"? I like rich people,at least most of them. If there were no rich people, who would employ the masses? Mom and pop businesses usually pay minimum wages, not the "bad rich people".

@briandaly7236 4 года назад

Exactly, convert each duplex to single family unit, sell each for $20-40k cash sale or $60k with a 15 year fixed rate ez qualifying mortgage and have a conditional sales clause that forbids renting of property. The format has worked well in other areas. It removes the public assistance aspect from the equation and creates pride of ownership.

KIMBERLY VERA I agree, we seem to just accept this type of bs and yell at our screens but not at the powers that be. I’m on the verge of being homeless, I live right outside NYC with my 2 adult kids who work hard. Rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is a minimum of 2,500/month, some are as high as $3,800/month. We are dying to just get out, this is no way to live and I’m disabled and can’t afford a roof without my kids chipping in. It’s maddening. Then this! What we wouldn’t give to have shelter we could afford. But who am I to bitch? All the homeless vets, the elderly, the poor who have no family, it’s just heartbreaking.

There are so many battered women and children, homeless and veterans that could use a place to lay they’re heads. My heart bleeds. I really don’t understand. People only pretend to care if it will put a profit in their pockets.

I'm sure many of the vets here feel the same way. Thanks for the video and hope everyone is staying safe out there with this virus spreading around. We just started a 2 week quarantine. Cannot leave the building we stay at. I share a room with 4 other vets, 5 of us to a room that's about 25' x 15'.

@flashy5150 8 лет назад

***** Cheers, there's so many homes left abandoned like this in the USA. Some homes are left abandoned because the owners die or can't afford the crazy property taxes, then the government takes over ownership, from then on, they don't take care of them, then they get so run down that not even a street bum would want to live in them. This is actually "littering" and contamination of the earth's soil -- these houses turn into garbage. If they want to take the houses from the people that owned them, at least take care of them, or tare them down and clean up the land for someone else to build on. In this we have a perfectly good subdivision, and bums left on the street. The problem with the USA is, the government "leaders" put their military over their own citizens, and the citizens should come first. If they want to treat their homeland like a dump, I think citizens should go and dump their garbage there - maybe then they'll get the hint. It's a shame, I'm Canadian and I think the USA is a very beautiful country with an abundance of beautiful natural resources, then I see this -- it's sickening what "greed" will do.

@bhalps 4 года назад

If a house isnt taken care of in the florida sun, heat and humidity ts ruined in three or four years. Mold, asbestos remediation, plumbing, new electric, duct work, foundation work, roofing, heating and Ac, all have to be brought up to code and repaired. And the code has changed significantly since the 70's. Flood zones have shifted significantly too, requiring higher insurance and raised buildings - big expenses. Also its not about the concrete, its about the replacement cost compared to the cost to repair. Lastly you hear a ton of people here saying let homeless people live there, its still liveable. Maybe so, but it has to be a certain standard to allow people to live there, even the homeless. The narrator states that the previous owners couldnt afford the repairs. Projects like this fail all the time once it gets too expensive to maintain, thats why be build new ones.

We were expected to have no brown patches on the lawn and it was not unusual to see a neighbors dad dressed in his uniform and spray painting any brown patches on the lawn to a nice camo green, The morning of inspection.

In this case, it was not unaffordable housing, it was poor management. These house's were affordable to anyone with low too no income.

@janicebreault1963 7 месяцев назад

In my city( which is not very big) we have a shortage of housing. Our Government is buying vacant houses and fixing up houses for the homeless, along with helping them with job and healthcare.They are also fixing up houses to rent out to people who need an apartment. If you don’t pay your taxes and the house has just been sitting there rotting away the city will take it over, either fix it up or knock it down .As far as housing like the one’s you showed us, they constantly maintain them. They are strict with rules and cleanliness. Nice video . Thank you Kiki !❤

@janetcousins4645 4 года назад

They should sell them one at a time to whoever is interested on the condition they keep them fixed up. They could then start collecting property taxes and they could afford to keep the roads, streetlamps, etc in good condition. It doesn't necessarily have to be to low income people.

@jamesconway4821 Год назад

I think there's a lot more to this property than what is being told. I've heard stories that the land is toxic I've also heard that the development was built over a Black Mass cemetery of unmarked Graves. Whatever the case maybe something must be going on because there have been several developers that have attempted to purchase the land and have been rejected one way or another just recently it was supposed cleared away and a upscale retirement 55 + community of manufactured homes was supposed to take over the property. But that has also fizzled out to this day. It remains extremely very scary place to go at night.

@misled1982 9 лет назад

I don't get it, I mean you said it would take at least 1M USD to fix the houses, why don't the govermnet fix them and give them to people with housing problems, I mean 1 million is a hell lot cheaper than building a community housing project from zero, the Florida goverment should see this as an inverstment, people could pay fix rates for the rent (afordable ones of course) and use this housing project!

@screamorange2634 9 лет назад

@TikiTrex 9 лет назад

misled1982 It was 1.1 million to demolish, but much more to repair and modernize -- close to $17 million. That figure also includes another smaller housing project they own which was also vacated, Summit Villas.

@gcdcjccc 9 лет назад

misled1982 She actually said just over 1 million for demolition and way more to repair them...as a small contractor I can tell ya it would take many, many millions to repair these 90 units..still a shame though

@misled1982 9 лет назад

Still...if fixing them to be as good as new would cost 17M, is also cheaper than a new develpment? IDK, maybe is not worth it, since the houses are pretty dated...still, it seems like a waste to see them just standing there, the community looks good conditions...
