Why SpaceX Bought An Entire Village 

You just described my dream endgame tbf

@karonic: And when you dont comply, you are thrown out. Lol 😂

id be happy with a 3x offer, although id probably bargain for more and then go buy a better retirement home, sounds good to me.

That would be super cool lmao. It's not like they launch in the middle of the night, so getting to watch all the launches would be cool as hell

JordanWoodland , my thought as well. Imagine those 7 holding out and living within the grounds of space x...would need to rebuild house bunker-style😁

I mean it's nearly 2 years ago so what your point? He's just clarifying the date

😄

Future-proofing. Kids will be watching this video in elementary school in 2050.

I like the objectives spacex has but there cant be many towns like that. I would have been really mad.

Love Elon and SpaceX but this video title is clearly a lie. Down vote it with me please. They did not buy the entire village 😡

SpaceX should just give the residents safe glass and let them stay

@@Kev_the_panda There must be an engineerable solution. Solving it could be a useful product for the new residents (SpaceX employees) too, and maybe anyone who lives near loud noise or an airport.

Flextape

@starseed They'd have to build a bunker for residents to shelter in. Eventually there will be full stack launches there, with Starship second stage on top of Super Heavy booster. If I'm remembering correctly, it will have more than double the thrust of the Saturn V. They'd need to evacuate for a launch anyway. Every time.

You would think buying the houses wod be there priority before building the spaceships..

@@xXSinForLifeXx I mean if your windows shatter every week because of a test flight you might reconsider that lucrative offer Elon gave you :p

Why SpaceX Bought Almost An Entire Village. There fixed the title for you

@@Samuel_NL just dont have windows smh

Space X received a 15 million tax break. They should pay up for ruining people's lives, cheap bastards!

TheCrimsonCardinal 20x, I like almost everything Elon is doing on the macro but he not only is trying to move these people out but ruined their entire little community. Their way of life gone. That launch pad is right next to their houses. How that was even legal blows my mind. If you were building an airport to land large planes it would have to be miles away wouldn’t it?

dspitze Money

Nahh it won't work, being last house standing means you are on your own. The only reason SpaceX is buying up with over the market value was because is still considerably alot of people, at least enough to bring pressure to state government if SpaceX over step their boundary. But since is only you left, and the place has lost its value in being quiet and peaceful, your house worth nothing anymore, you won't want to stay there, nobody will rent or buy it, in the end it will just be left empty. They can do whatever they like at that point without needing to consider much of your comfort since you are not there anyway, logically speaking you won't even have the heart or time to fight against them, may be at first you will because of anger but as time goes on you will take up whatever low ball offer they give you since something is better than none. Don't be greedy or you'll get worst =D

@@dspitze no lol, have you even been to Houston texas? The airport is literally in the middle of Houston which houses 3 million people

@Dill Lend some of them do , they're retirees dude, if a multi billionaire wanted my house , he'd have to pay at least 7x

Some people might have an emotional relation to the house, who knows... Old man, lived there the whole time... Or someone who spent his entire life aiming to get there... Or someone who lived there with a parent that no longer is here and it gives them memories... Etc etc

They didn’t look that bad. Geez

So It is time for you to move there 😁

Ya I been going to Brownsville and didn’t know about Boca Chica lol

I live in the valley and I only heard of this place because of tesla.

Lived all my life in West TX...never heard of boca chica until today lol

Boca chica isn’t a city, it is a beach in Brownsville called boca chica beach. I see a lot of people mistaking calling it Boca Chica village, but literally the reason that place is called boca chica is because the road connecting it from Brownsville to the beach is called “Boca Chica boulevard”

No,there would still be liability issues having people living that close to rocket launches.Move the residents to Padre Island.

@@thomashong2938 he said, at the edge of the exclusion zone. AFAIK, that's far enough to exclude any liability. I also suspect, two of the unsold houses belong to LabPadre and @BocaChicaMaria1. I guess offering them a deal that includes free access to the area, access to video feeds and/or permission to set up additional cameras of their own might help move things along...

@@realulli I thought Maria moved a while ago, hence Lab moving the cameras. Because of this, I'm guessing she sold her house.

They had planned to buy out the town all along. Such things are considered well in advanced of a location acquisition.

@@hawkdsl Seems like they didn't exactly consider the part where they can't force people out of their property.

@@awildtomappeared5925 😂🤣😂

Dam.. ps5 out in time for xmas so get saving man!

No one really does the Federal government and states own all the land. If you purchase a home you can own the home but control of the land remains in government hands. Your deed merely gives you the right to use the land until you sell it, die and pass it along, or the government decides they need it for something better.

It's basically a law that's meant to curb the antics of some people that block things just because they like the drama they're creating or just because they want to make things difficult for everybody else. It's used very rarely and rather hard to apply (for good reason). Remember that picture from China with the house right in the middle of a freeway? Same thing. In Germany, if you live in an apartment block where each unit is owned by someone else, it's really hard to have a socket to charge your EV installed at your parking spot (even if you paid a few thousand Euros for it), since you have to install a line across communal property. Every other owner has the right to veto it. If that block is reasonably large, you can expect to have at least one drama queen that will veto it, just because they can and enjoy the difficulties they can cause with little effort on their side. Or maybe because they're jealous of you new car, or whatever. Eminent domain is the state's last line of defense against that behaviour. They have to compensate you fairly, but in the end, they can force you for the public good. I think SpaceX has shown they want to compensate fairly (offering triple the estimated value and being ready to go higher if needed), but it appears there are some people being boneheaded. On the other hand if I moved to the US, I'd build my house to German standards. That's much more expensive than the normal US way, but all a hurricane would do is rattle the shutters a bit and mess up the yard. For such a house, $250k is way to little, since it probably cost north of $400k. Unfortunately, that's hard to see from the outside, but I definitely wouldn't want to eat the loss.

If a country as a collective and unite to do useful things, then it will become strong and indestructible， The government needs efficient execution and wisdom Don't let the advantages of democracy become trouble

The government should arrange for companies and governments to provide these residents with better places than the original residents. Or reasonable compensation@@realulli

And it exists in all Western world countries. It's just a fact of modern reality.

Simply, there are fewer of them and they are likely poorer so it is easier to force them out. Lot more expensive and problematic if they wanted to build in a more populated area.

Yeah. Every rural resident's worst nightmare. I was excited about the space project till I saw this. Horrifying.

i actually live in brownsville and go to that beach often and when he said that i was like don’t gotta be so mean lol

@@valearl4693 Sure, because all the freeways and highways and train tracks and pipelines and airports and shipping ports and oil fields all over the country were put on land that nobody wanted to keep too. My parents were forced to sell their house in 1975 so an airport could build a shipping hub. This is nothing new. The sad fact is that to get nearly any large project like this going means someone who already lives there is going to be forced to sell.

Because if they chose let's say NY City they would have to expropriate the whole city, which is impossible of course. So they chose the most unpopulated piece of land they could find. Less expropriation, less risk and nuisance for the population.

The side of what?

Yes rockets are very similar to bombs thanks for telling us that

Lets face it - 7 houses remaining - Normal price of circa $100,000, if Elon paid them 10x value each that is only $7 million. A Falcon 9 costs $54 million and starships will cost around 4x that so it is peanuts in the scheme of things.

3 hours is good enough for me

And 4 hours for me

The rockets land and make artificial reefs. I live in the east coast of FL, makes diving hard due to weird laws. But it's not bad for the environment really. Remember the BP oil spill? Shrimp ended up eating most of that. It's better now, so a small rocket is like spitting in a river

@@tommynorthwood that's how the problems start

@@tommynorthwood these aren't NASA rockets. there's no wasted boosters that land in the ocean.

@@tommynorthwood Starship will be bigger than the Saturn V. The blast from the rocket alone will probably level the village. If a Starship does a UVD on the pad , it will have the effect of a small nuke going off. There was a 3 mi exclusion zone for the Saturn V. That should tell you something for Starship. They will diffently hear it in Brownsville.

@Because I'm Retired Arrogance ? If SpaceX didn't exist, we would be still dependent on the Russians to get us to the ISS (which was paid for mostly by our tax money) at $80,000,000.00 per ride on their crummy Soyuz.

@@jessperez477 You don't get the same house in 95% of US with 240k so no, they didn't get a good deal. Those who accepted the offer will get a worse version of their lives.

@@ThePizza28 well the same house really isn't 95% of America in the first place.

@Tmer6 good thing we're talking about Texas and not California.. not sure what the point is. "They could move to Detroit and get a house for 40k." It's just not relevant.

For every (real) launch they county (or other?) would require them to vacate their home. SpaceX would have to put them up in some hotel. So no especially awesome launches

BC is planned to be a rather large complex.. the town will be destroyed for expansion..

Aquator? Wow

Boca Chica is at about 26 degrees north and Cape Canaveral is 28 degrees north, so Boca Chica really doesn’t give much advantage. Also the Gulf of Mexico is practically surrounded by land severely limiting what inclinations are possible. Boca Chica doesn’t offer any advantage over existing launch facilities. It will basically be limited as a development and testing facility. If it becomes a manufacturing facility it has a major advantage over the original site at Long Beach for obvious reasons.

​@@bobbilaval6171 From what i know Boca Chica is intented as a Space Port to fly Spaceships to the Moon and Mars. Also some commercial launches are planed that are not limited by the inclination restrictions. That was the plan a few years ago at least, i dont know if that changed.

@@bobbilaval6171 the advantage isn't as much about against Cape Canaveral, but against other remote locations on mainland USA.

k1dicarus The plan did change.Starship in,Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy out.No commercial launches from Boca Chica.

so what does that say about corporations? that they can just buy out anyone and everyone? and if they don't, just launch rockets whenever you want to get the people to leave? those arent made up stories, those are first hand accounts of people who live there.

@@aznfattass yes, they have billions and you don't

You never own anything in the us some people just rent more for longer but it all goes back to the govt
