Exploring An ABANDONED Neighbourhood Of Millionaires Mansions

[@melissapalmer835]

Hey Ethan! It's Melissa here again lol. Thank you for coming back to these beautiful homes! It also disgusts me to see the mindless destruction. There is absolutely no point to it! Just as you had said, these houses aren't just houses. They were homes that held people and their hopes and dreams. I know I had mentioned before to do turns with your camera a little more slowly and you have done an amazing job! It's so cool to see how far you've progressed since you first started this channel. You should be proud of yourself! You continue to blow me away with your dedication, integrity, and sheer joy and awe in doing what you love so much!

[@katcammarata5040]

Just my opinion... but I feel people damage other people's nice things is because they don't have nice stuff of their own. I really hope I'm wrong

[@oooh19]

Yea people are just jealous spiteful assholes much of the time!

[@cathyorlowski1951]

They destroy other people's things because they weren't taught right from wrong and the penalty for it. They seem to have the attitude "I won't get caught so it doesn't matter" .

[@gailrutkai3161]

Jjj

[@matthewmastrobuono582]

I’d agree but I grew up wealthy and had friends in the neighborhood that were destructive around the neighborhood when they were younger: smashing mailboxes and stuff. I never understood.

[@oooh19]

@@cathyorlowski1951 just like bullies who get away with bullying they dont get punished so they continue

[@MzJust1girl]

Ethan, you rant because you care & you care because you have a big heart. And the senselessness of vandalism is something we should all care about. We should be outraged by people's disregard for human decency. Take care of yourself this week & be safe.

[@sherrillgladman7729]

👋 Ethan you have nothing to apologize for because you have a heart of gold and it’s painful to see that kids weren’t raised right that they have to destroy property that doesn’t belong to them. If anyone thinks that you would do anything like this is delusional and idiots 😢thank you for being a model citizen much love ❤️

[@Elizabethmoonlightchild]

I've watched you for years, like since you were still a kiddo. I've seen other popular explorers go through homes after you and the homes were exactly how you videoed them right along with any items left there that others would just steal. You do exactly as you say you do! Thank you again for posting, I don't mind seeing homes you've posted already. Keep up the great job Ethan!

[@melissawallace51]

I agree with you 100% regarding the idiots that destroy someone else’s property. I think kids now a days need to be disciplined as they don’t have any respect. Hang it there Ethan your doing a great job.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[@sherylpehr2702]

This damage is so senseless. My hubby and I built our current home using primarily salvaged items and have a beautiful home that cost us a fraction of what it would have cost us if everything was new. The satisfaction of keeping items out of a landfill was an added bonus.

[@941jakk]

How did you guys find salvaged items

[@sherylpehr2702]

We searched for homes that were likely to be torn down. Checked for permits to renovate, bank repos, etc. Actually found 4K sq feet of rare koa wood floors that were going to be destroyed. Was a chore to remove it but we saved $250K. Our total cost to build was $225K here in the Denver area. Last appraisal for tax purposes was $1M!!!

[@tabathaorton1623]

Just remember they will have their judgment day for this someday. It's so sad how this world has come to this . People destroying other people's things. Mainly because of hate and jealousy. So sad. You do great Ethan. I'm a fan for a while now in Tennessee, in the U. S. Never comment till now. Just keep doing what you do for us who appreciate not hate ❤️💯👍

[@katrinacarter2019]

I agree and I bet they never worked a day in there lives to appricate what we work for ,that great feeling

[@Mszahnclass95]

I like how compassion you are about showing abandoned beautiful homes an respectful Thank you Ethan for another great video .soon you will hit 100,000 subscribers..congrats on how your channel is growing

[@elaineroberts6541]

One of the reasons I enjoy your channel so much is your RESPECT! I have watched others and they show personal things and open every drawer and look into spaces that are yo personal. You are RESPCTFUL!!

[@kerrihendrickson8567]

Hey Ethen, Very sad. How come these homes were just left like this? And what happened to the house were going to buy? Thank you so much for doing these videos for us, they are very fun to watch.

[@keithpoindexter6758]

Exactly, a neighborhood of “Abandoned” mansions ??? It doesn’t even make common sense, no real Millionaire is going to abandon a mansion, Sell it - Yes, but never abandon it ????

[@tigre7739]

These are such beautiful homes, it is a shame that they would be demolished in the first place, but to see them fall prey to vandals, is very sad and disheartening! I agree it is very hard to even fathom, or wrap your mind around what type of mentality someone has in order to do this stuff, but unfortunately this kind of stuff is something that will probably never change. The sad reality is, there are probably a lot of kids out there who have some serious issues going on, and also, just weren't taught the importance of respect. The sad part is some will probably never find their way and will go on to even worse things. On the one hand, even though it is unlawful and blatant disrespect and disregard for other people's property to do this sort of thing, but to intentionally target a place and plan to do it for whatever reason, does somehow take it to another level I think.

[@sandyg3639]

Such a shame that these beautiful homes have been vandalized. There is no need of it. There is so much in these homes that could have been repurposed. Ethan you are always respectful of the homes you show. Thank you for all your hard work to bring your video's to us. 🙂

[@AsianPanda.]

I have just started watching your channel, and I appreciate your respect for homes and how you explore them. As well as how you respect your viewers. It breaks my heart to not only see a dream home like this go to waste. Also, see it be destroyed by ones who don't have value and disrespect for what is not theirs. If I had the money, I would so buy those homes in a heartbeat & provide one of them to a family member.

[@bridgetraveler7700]

That's such a shame how people will target a beautiful home that wasn't in bad shape.

[@janieclaypool9842]

I must say - your parents raised you right. The respect you have for these empty homes (even though they will be torn down) is amazing. You understand they were once loving homes and want to portray that in your videos. It’s too bad,others do not have the same respect.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Ethan..I enjoy the recaps of previous homes. It's truly so nice of you to do it. Or all the reasons! I just enjoy your time with the homes. The in-depth videos. I just love watching you. Thanks so much. True Supporter Mikalyn Daugherty WPB FLORIDA

[@Liltattyy]

Bro. It’s really sad to see how the houses are now. I’m glad I got to meet you there before it got to this current state :/

[@Luna_Lovegood_1981]

I have watch your video’s for a while. You are a very compassionate person and respectful. It’s good to see. People that do these things hasn’t been raised to respect in my opinion. This is sad. Theses are beautiful homes. Thank you for the updates.

[@BELLSMOMBECCA]

So sad. Loved how in the first visit you documented the kitchen labels. Such a shame people felt the need to destroy everything. Love your videos. Hope the ford is back soon.

[@karengumke387]

I don't like to see people going into these homes (doesn't matter that they are abandoned) and destroy just for the sake of destroying. There is no reason or excuse to justify such criminal behavior . . . and it is criminal. I can tell that this sort of thing upsets you--I totally agree with your assessment. Takes some of the enjoyment out of it for you and for most of us. Take care. And thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@christinereed3337]

At least you documented it before it was destroyed! So sad that some people get some strange satisfaction destroying things! New to your channel! Love your respect!😊

[@Mamasita4life32]

So I went back and reviewed one of the other videos you did of these homes, and the boards at the bottom of the stairs in the foyer in the second house are from Justin’s room. There were two shelves under his name on the wall and then the desk was taken apart. There was a top portion to it. 😢🤦‍♀️😡🤬 Seeing this damage is ridiculous, and, I agree they looked move in ready before the damage. Honestly, the reason I would care about the destruction is because someone spent their lives there, and destroying the home is like saying that time they spent there or the money they spent on building the home was worthless or didn’t matter. 😢😢 Whoever did this needs to get a life, like yesterday!!! 😒🙄🤦‍♀️ Thanks for the video!

[@Crackrzz]

Yeah I feel ya so much about this vandalism. Noah has recently gone on a bit of a rant about that himself. It's just such a shame. That stuff definitely could have been preserved. And you're not alone in thinking this was targeted, I thought the same thing before you said it.

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

Great video Ethan and I really enjoyed this very much 😁 It’s sad that no one is living in here 😳 I would love to have this place 😍 Great job on finding it too 😎I love the video 👍Have a wonderful night 😇

[@karengilday6513]

This is actually horrifying. I feel the same way about these homes as you do. Why are they being torn down in the first place? I just don't understand. People have more money than sense, I guess. And for vandals to go in and destroy them. It's so sad that someone has so much anger in them~

[@andreakropp341]

Hi Ethan,I feel for you. I will also never understand why some people have to be so disrespectful and destructive with other people's property. This destruction of these wonderful homes is so sad to see. I love your videos and that you take us to so such fantastic lost places. Most of all it is so wonderful to how respectfully you enter these places and close open the doors and drawers. Keep up the good work and stay as you are. Greetings from Germany.

[@elainew2230]

I had to skip through this. I hate to see senseless destruction. If the place was torn apart because stuff was being recycled, that would be ok... but just trashing a place is dumb.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

I also find something new or find other interesting things that 8ve missed or not noticed when re showing certain places/ homes. I love the Respect you have for the Homes! You truly are creative when explaining it. So fascinating to me!

[@marypainter2405]

Thank you for the Upload ❤️ I'm always looking forward to seeing your Uploads much love from San Antonio Texas ❤️😘

[@crystalmcmahon302]

Good morning Ethan this is so heartbreaking these homes were so beautiful. Yes I totally agree with you on everything. Let’s hope the third home is still nice. You do amazing job.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

On the last and final thought. I don't like seeing things like this either. It's sad, just terrible to see. I pray for it to stop. I doubt it will. I completely understand when a person like yourself who see the beauty in abandoned homes as well as capturing the essence of the stories behind the house. It's heartbreaking, heart wrenching as well. Just be careful and thankful you got to it before the worst happens. Good job.

[@jillhorvat1730]

Sadly soooo many kids don’t respect anyone or anything. It makes me sooo very mad. Wondering what our world will be like soon. I’m so glad that you have been there to see how beautiful these homes are/were and to document them for everyone. God speed.

[@lindakrumenauer1099]

I agree! Right now , i am putting the deveopers on the same level as the destroyers. These were so very beautiful and nearly new. People have to spend decades renivating d homes to have a nice space, and then people lay waste to these beautiful mansions.

[@kimsinclair9100]

The first house is beautiful, or was. I think my favorite of all your videos. Although I am a fan of vintage 1960 homes too. What’s scary is that the bottom panel of the door in the 2nd house was kicked in.

[@christopherkraft1327]

Some people just suck!!! It's a shame that stuff like this happens!! Fortunately Ethan, your one of the good people!! 😬

[@angeladelia7472]

Your closing statement, completely right 💯

[@helenhancock7295]

Ethan, I love your attitude toward the vandalism that has been done, never apologize for speaking how you feel. You are doing good and they go in and disrespect the property. Keep doing your thing!

[@tinal3388]

Have mercy!!!! How incredibly sad that some people have nothing better to do other than do something so idiotic. I love your respect for others’ property, and I applaud your parents for raising you the way they did. I also love your passion for the houses you explore and the excitement you exude. Keep up the great work!!

[@susiegnall3971]

I know it’s hard on you, but keep caring!! That’s the difference between you and these people that disrespect things! It’s sad how this world is changing! Your videos are like a breath of fresh air! Keep being YOU! Thanks Ethan!!

[@lisaruley5758]

This really pisses me off too. Thanks for being so respectful of other people's property Ethan. Glad that your not one of those many bullies! That what they are idiots and they always will be. They need to all be held accountable for their actions! Such beautiful, lovely mansions too. Really loved these homes. Much love and stay blessed Ethan🥰🤗❤✌👍🙏

[@jackiestant6931]

I love it when you speak your mind like this and keep up the good work of showing places

[@perapelman1037]

Person's behaving like this must come from the funny farm or the fifth floor someplace,very rude and disrespectful behaviour!

[@vloggingwithnina273]

You have a big heart, Ethan, that's why you care. Don't let the "you shouldn't care" comments change that. It's nice seeing a young adult care so much and be so respectful of things. Always be you.

[@karrie1377]

This kind of senselessness causes me to really dislike people. You were clearly raised correctly and these idiots weren’t. Shame on them. For the life of me I don’t understand what they could possibly get out of doing this. Wish they would get caught and put in their place. These homes were so beautifully and tastefully built and as always it seems senseless to tear them down. Thank you Ethan for always being so respectful of these properties. Your fine upbringing is visible. Thank you for this sad but still interesting tour.

[@cherryspiker4426]

Wow I can't believe how much they tore those places up . I just wonder how bad the 3rd one was . Thanks for sharing .❤❤❤ stay safe love ya

[@jamesalford8997]

What the actual hell?! Why though? Just senseless and disrespectful. Thanks Ethan for the updates!

[@danmundis9766]

Ethan, you said at the end of the video that you would provide your house update i the intro. I know it is not my business, but I get pumped when someone saves an older home. Thanks

[@brendapenner689]

I couldn't agree with you more. I find it infuriating as well!!!!! If I ever found out a kid of mine had done that, they would be sorry. There is absolutely no excuse for any actions like these! Stay you, Ethan, you're wonderful at what you do, and we appreciate it!

[@cathybarron8606]

I love the way you respect the homes that you go through. I wonder if the cupboards could have been saved.

[@isabelfaye3052]

😢 such a beautiful kitchen, love that island. I’d love that in my home. Another good video

[@lizrobin1952]

It’s so sad to see such destruction. And to think some people get a kick out of destroying someone’s property 😢

[@user-iamRobinV68]

Hey Ethan!!! Like the beard! 🥰🥰🥰

[@deboralintner6223]

Ethan, your parents raised a fine young man. Thank you for the video.

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

Ethan, don't go back there. This just breaks my heart. I am positive you feel like that too. It infuriates me. We know you respect the property you visit. You are a wonderful guy. These are probably the same people that killed the neighbors pets when they were young. I am sorry Ethan. But this destruction really upsets me. You are so great. Always be safe. Gods blessings to you.

[@shettikkawoods3248]

Peace ✌🏽 and blessings

[@kbsinsanewrld]

I had time today to binge some of your explores and went back to view your original posts for this neighborhood. My favorite was always the first home. You are so kind, but your kindness is somewhat misplaced. Don't feel bad for the prior homeowners at ALL. Feel bad for these beautiful homes abandoned by their owners to be trashed and demolished. They got their money and have since moved on with their lives to bigger and easily disposable things. I would also like to add in regards to kids. Its not just kids destroying these homes. Adults will also take part in the destruction. Many whom are strung out on drugs. Homes invaded by squatters receive just as much damage and are trashed. As an mature adult, when I was a teen, there were opportunities to get jobs at fast food places, grocery stores, malls etc. Now most of these jobs are being filled with adults making low wages trying yo support their families. Those low wage paying jobs were never meant to be worked by adults. So what's left for kids to do with so much idle time on their hands? Sports is very expensive and not every family has the means. There is something far bigger going on and the people who can easily abandon beautiful homes like this are a big part of the problem. Ok..rant over 😂😂

[@juliejackson962]

Hi Ethan...heartbreaking 💔..mindless stupid idiots ...looks like its done deliberately we were bought up to look but don't touch ...proper upset bout these beautiful houses being vandalised😭....if the developers went in straight away they wouldnt have the chance to destroy it...I can understand your frustration ..I'm surprised you live in a new house, seeing as you like mid century ...snow looks fabulous 👌....thanks for the update Ethan..stay safe ,well and warm 😘💋🇬🇧

[@LA_Mom_2023]

I love the stair case and balcony surround upstairs

[@virginiaeckley3047]

That was a beautiful kitchen

[@kristiandawe85]

Destroying a beautiful home makes no sense to me, if I were going to explore a abandoned home I would just look and not vandalize anything, I don’t understand why some people have to be so rambunctious and destroy abandoned places, it’s just sad. This house is amazingly beautiful. I really appreciate your content Ethan keep doing great videos, I love seeing abandoned places and houses

[@shannabrowneyes]

Senseless destruction. Thank you for always being so mindful of the homes you share with us. Keep being awesome!!!

[@nancyison7481]

This is BS why do jerks do this!! Do you have any idea who did this?? I hate when people do this stuff. You are so careful when you go in these homes to come back and see this is heartbreaking. They are jealous and figure if they can’t have something so beautiful why should anyone else. Makes me very upset

[@marjoryhurd2931]

That’s the difference right there. Kids of today are made to be respectful.

It is sad that there are people that enjoy watching them. This lady here loves your videos and deep respect for others. Your anger here is admirable. Love from the US

[@carol-annemartin401]

would like to have some news about your abandoned house you put a bid on. Did you get it? and updates on it please

[@rachealsmith5138]

Man this just pisses me off! I don’t understand this mentality. Why do you have to destroy some thing that could be salvaged? Even if you know it’s going to be torn down somebody could probably have used quite a bit of the stuff that are in these houses. Thank you Ethan for being so respectful in all of your explorations. Thank you also for bringing this to our attention after you showed us how beautiful they were. I wish somebody would learn from this, but odds are they won’t. Love your KZbin channel, keep exploring, and stay safe!

[@redaedelman8398]

The people that destroyed everything in the first house are sick and evil because it was a beautiful home. I know its going to get demolished but that's no excuse for the damages that have been done by vandalism. I have zero tolerance for vandalism like this. The culprits that did this damage should not go unpunished.

[@wendyjane6634]

It’s such a beautiful home I could so live there I love retro ❤ such a shame being demolished 🥲

[@Mz.Becky341]

Will somebody get this man a mansion? No seriously, It breaks my heart how sensitive you are about these pre-demolish3d, empty mansions. Turning off lights, really? Closing cupboards? Who's concerned about the light bills for these homes? But still very nice of you.

[@user-bn3rk9tk8d]

Don’t u ever apologize for ranting like u did. It was all justifiable!!! It was horrible! I remember these houses. U were right on with your rant. The people who destroyed these house are absolutely thugs/criminals. When go into a house u show respect & appreciation for what the previous owners did with the houses. I feel terrible for u. This really hurt you & discussed u! Rightly so. The amount of destruction angered me, too. I SO glad u vented your feelings. I’m so sorry for what u went through.😢❤ Ethan if u do understand people like, u wouldn’t be u! Please don’t change! Keep respecting & appreciating & caring!!!!!

[@jenniferfelts]

Kids ha😢ve no respect. ❤Ethan your like me you have a big heart and unfortunately not everyone does. Even with adults people say it goes back to the parents but I don't believe that and my reason for saying that is because I had a really horrible childhood and nobody taught me anything but I knew right from wrong... Absolutely love these houses and it's a shame that they are left to rot or get bulldozed. Ty for the tour❤

[@bernadettemcmahon9057]

Ethan .. a word of advice .. do not show the front of the house in your videos anywhere. Don't do a drone video of any house either. It's really sad the way you have to do things nowadays but it's true. Thanks for the update but it's horrible 😳

[@kellyrobinson9596]

I'm so proud of you Ethan very proud of you as I'm from Australia we are having trouble with youth crime over in Australia you are in Canada it's wrong you document these beautiful homes to show people what they looked like inside, what I like to know is where are the police before these houses are getting ready to demolish the Canadian police should be patrolling the homes so they can get these little thiving vandalising drongos now in Australia the word drongo means for an unintelligent person a loser a halfwit or someone that is running on half a deck in other words a complete idiot. They were there to destroy the properties and your their to document them ' I hope no one is blaming you for because that is totally wrong you show respect as to where these don't so keep up dating these homes keep documenting these homes and once again thankyou for all the hard work that you do and I'am looking forward to seeing many more of these fantastic videos of your in 2023 also keep warm in Canada it was lovely to see snow falling as we don't get much snow in Australia like you do in Canada bye and cheers

What happened to the update on the house you bid on? I even re-watched the intro to see if I missed something.

[@joannegaughan6132]

Thank you for the update but I couldn't watch it. I wanted to remember the houses as YOU originally videod them. They were so beautiful and I couldn't stand the thought of seeing them destroyed by mindless obnoxious degenerate vandals. Loved, absolutely loved, the 1st house you originally showed us, but I loved the 2nd houses' kitchen you originally showed us better, and that's how I will remember them. You take such pride in the videos you do and the houses you film and I know their destruction just kills you a little inside. Why don't you lock up the 3rd house as tight as a badgers butt hole to keep the little as*holes out. They'd probably just bust the windows to get in...so sad. I'm sorry for all the mindless destruction you had to discover, just know you filmed them in their prime and preserved them for us and all time. Love and appreciate your work my brother. 👏👍❤🇺🇸

[@bobbeals1509]

You are correct regarding recycling of march of building materials. I would take advantage of savings like that. A real shame. Damage being done by total losers is unacceptable. Basement dwellers that came out for the day I guess. One suggestion, you speak well by say “like” too much. It is a bad habit many of us get into. You will come across better if you do.
