  So my house was the one that was being rebuilt after the fire! Thank you for sharing about our street but just to clarify some misinformation. <br>1. The “farmer” was the grandfather of the street. It was his son who later owned the house with the pond in the back. After grandpa had passed away his granddaughter the farrier was the one who moved in and kept her horses there. Later she then moved out of state, and it was her father who sold the farm and his house with the pond! <br>2. The house across the street from mine, was initially my aunt and uncles home, who moved quite a few years back and sold it to a family friend of ours who then lived there alone with his dogs. Yes we were all very close. <br>3. I’m not going to speak on the problems we had with my homes construction but just know we truly did lose everything twice with the fire and then this sale. <br>Overall this was truly a tragedy for the entire street, and it was just back to back to back. Again thank you for speaking on it and giving it the recognition it deserves so it’s not just gone forever!

  I&apos;m sitting here watching this wishing I could have a house of my own. This is heartbreaking to see these beautiful homes in these states, knowing they will be demolished. So very sad.

  I lived in 99! Hated to see it go, but love the opportunity that selling it gave us

  I would not call this Abandoned I would call this a force out and we are seeing more and more of this. They do not want us to own property anymore, maybe push us into 15 minute cities. OUTRAGEOUS!! <br>You can see these people had pride in owning their homes all done very nicely even the landscaping. THIS IS A SIN!!

  This was a great documentary of what is happening all over, So sad that all those families had to abandon their homes, and the last one is just a devastating story.<br>Thank you for documenting and sharing

  Dogs are gross? WTF. &nbsp;Dogs aren’t gross , lazy ass owners are that can’t or won’t clean up after them. Yeah I would put my house up against anyone that doesn’t have dogs for cleanliness. What a sad person that has never bonded with a dog . Your loss …

  This was absolutely....... shocking. What a sad situation where the county let the warehouse and lot be built on wetlands without a remedial plan for the neighborhood. TBH, I&apos;m sure it was all a setup and the homeowners got screwed. &nbsp;Fair market value for the homes I&apos;m sure.<br>The construction company didn&apos;t waste any time getting in there and tearing those houses down. Such a shame we all just walk through those houses with you and that final clip showed them all being knocked down like they&apos;re trash.<br>Keep up the great work. You&apos;re really putting out some stellar documentaries.

  This looks like it would have been an awesome little neighborhood to raise kids, host parties, and entertain. To see this is a real shame, but very interesting video.

  I love how much area you cover in Illinois. &nbsp;Especially some of these areas are close to where I live in Illinois. &nbsp;I come from Cicero, then Plainfield and currently I’m in Plano, but I also lived in Hoffman Estates for a little bit which is right next-door to Schaumburg and I never even knew about this area. &nbsp;Awesome video! &nbsp;I thoroughly enjoy all your content!
