I think your over-reacting. I live just south of bayside lakes, and I love it. Everything you filmed is just a bump in the road due to greedy people over developing. The population is already catching up, and the economy is already on the upswing. You are acting like you are giving us a tour of detroit. The housing bubble was NOT the norm, it was the exception. Unfinished developments are different than previously occupied, and then abandoned ones. Its a great place to raise a family.
that's bayside lakes dummy, there's a lot of nice places out there man, thats the upscale area of south east palm bay, you need to finish showing the whole area, there are a lot of really beautiful developments in bayside lakes...
@MarkizinPA I'm well aware of where I was filming, dummy. While there are some nice areas down there, the majority of it is empty and incomplete with lots of empty plazas. While it might "upscale" for Palm Bay, it's nothing compared to the nice areas in Melbourne, such as Suntree and Viera.
Everyone wanted a piece of the housing boom bubble but some of them got in just a little too late. These developers are a good example that you filmed. Good work on the video, you do respectable work. Thanks for your efforts.
this kind of stuff is pretty (morbidly) fascinating to me. just south of zephyrhills on US 301, i drove past a similarly abandoned development, entryway signs and all, but the funny thing was that it was fenced in and reverted to cow grazing land...eerie to see the cows wandering paved streets within a pasture...i'll have to take a ride out there and film it
WOW! Use to have more there last year. I use to live down there. Unfortunately, 80% of the Bayside Area is foreclosed on. Sadly, the area is prone to the arsons' fantasy of fires setting. Starbuck's, Snappers(use to be awesome), and most shops closed. Yes, the stolen A/C units have been stolen for over the last few years for the copper. Couldn't tell you how many homes have been sabotaged. Sign of the times of our economic crumble.
hey man i dont know if youve filmed it yet, but, on minton there are empty lots. one even has pipes sticking up from the ground with RUNNING water. the electric still works there aswell, the street lights still come on. creepy as hell haha. its very over grown though. should film it, it has a lake as well. dried up when i was there.
@dragasoni right after the series of stop lights. theres is the bridges going over I95, then there is 3 or 4 stop lights and its after the last one, across from the car wash. its kind of hidden but the driveway is made of stone
@freeze427 We can thank the wars for that . I'm sure there is more top blame as well. I also blame companies leaving the Us and going over seas as well
I wonder where they will find buyers for these homes being built? I have always loved Fl and wanted to live there because of the warm weather, but I still can't get over how the econo has damaged so much of the region. Its so stark looking when you take away all of the professional landscaping to make it look pretty. Those fields you showed that were going to be dev. looked awful. Keep up the vids, you can't see this on the mainstream media. I like to see the true story.
@Unsharpened Are you kidding, $10,000 per lot? That's over-priced when you consider how many empty lots are available in this area. I understand that the pipes, wiring, and roads have been put in, but still...
All these developments and shopping mall etc in this & your other videos appear to be out in whoop whoop. There seems to be no feel of community, no established hub. Are these projects bordering on the rural? If so, is there any thought of locating new estates closer to existing small towns & established communities? Everything appears to be at the back of beyond.
@octurn Most of Florida is just "Suburban Sprawl". Not all of it, but the populated areas all pretty much look like this. It's not like the "Home Town USA" you see up north. Ever city is riddled with the same chains and nothing is really unique.
There are areas where it's not like that, for exmaple downtown Melbourne has a strip that has a community-like feel. You can check that out here: downtownmelbourne(dot)com. Also, downtown Cocoa is pretty nice.
The Peoples Bailouts in action, shocking but great coverage of the situation. The banks get to write off the value of the houses they own from foreclosure at full peak bubble price, then get a full bailout, then build more! they cant lose! Thanks.
Yikes!... It's like the Twilight Zone there. One minute your in 2011 and the next your in 2005. I guess their right about the Bermuda triangle, It does time warp people in little Honda's.
Great informational video & very professionally edited too.
@ArizonaPublic It sure is, type in "3631" over and over on your landline phone, and hit redial. That will give you the twlight zone. I used to prank my friends house and do that all the time, hehehe!
@dragasoni Wow, that's brilliant. With expected property tax revenues no longer being realized, is it a far reach that inspections would be modified to encourage any new construction? Hmmm......
@BillKville I wouldn't put it past the local government, who knows? Just when you thought you've seen it all...BAM, they surprise you again. If a hurricane comes through this year (God forbid) I guess we'll find out.
Eric, what I'd be curious to see is in that D.R. Horton development. I'd bet money that there are serious construction shortcuts going on in those homes. Fewer nails, less hurricane straps on the rafters, fewer electrical outlets, etc.. There's only one way to build a large house like that, and charge so little.
@BillKville Good points, Bill…very good points indeed. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with home construction and all it encompasses. But I can see where your logic fits in. The big question is:
@skyding8962 No, I saw a mix of white, latino, and black at the D.R. Horton site. Florida is diverse, but we don't have the illegal immigrant problem you have out west. I feel for the Mexicans, I know that most of them are just in search of a better life.
There are a lot of Cubans here, but they work hard, are generally pretty nice, and they make excellent pressed sanwiches. I welcome them all, provided they come here legally just like my father and grandparents did.
They are building a low income apartment complex next to our house right now and its all illlegals/or legal migrants from mexico. No whites ever build anything in california anymore. Its a shame.
@skyding8962 In my eyes it's not really their fault. I see them as poor people, trying to better their lives, and getting take advantage of by the builders. My opinion is that the low wages from the builders is the reason for what you're seeing.
@skyding8962 Exactly, and it's shameful that people act like this. Greed is ripping apart the very fabric of our society. The people that run these operations probably treat their animals better than other humans. It's disgusting.
They wont even hire a security guard cause they are too cheap to guard the apartment complex even though they kept getting robbed blind. They also are making a lot of short cuts like making flat roofs etc.
Great place to film a science fiction movie

Location: Wellington at Bayside Lakes
Asking Price: $1,090,000
$/Unit: $10,000/Lot
Property Size: 109 "mostly developed" single family lots on 29.9+/- acres; lots are generally 50' x 120' in size
Pretty rediculous if you ask me. "mostly developed" ? Sounds to me "Mostly Abandoned" LOL

Do all the illegals and mexicans build the homes where your at? California has been using illegals and mexicans for homes since the early 90's.
