Has anybody from /his/ been in an abandoned building?
What happens to said buildings over time?
Do the owner or country just forget about the building?
Why don't they destroy it to make space for new ones?
Also post pictures
Nothing happens, either someone buys them and restores them or junkies move in and use it as a flop house until it's filled with needles and condemned.

>condemned
I should have said torn down, they are already condemned at that point.
Rural areas are littered with them. you see many abandoned buildings, simply because the owners sold the land, left for the cities to find work and some other farmer bought the land, and the house just stands there, and it has no purpose to fill. The industrial area and this modern age as well empties the rural communities and empties a lot of space. Simply because everyone wants to live in a city.

Costs more to repair than the building is worth; can't sell it without repairing it.
Has to do with government rules about restoration of old buildings, or the hours during which noisy work is allowed in the area and such.

It is located in a city with large cultural and historical value, but not much economical value. Few people live there, mostly not very rich, there aren't many jobs.
During communism life was forced into it, because of its culture significance, but after 1990 it fell into rapid decline.
Further, if you buy this building you can't turn it into something other than a cultural building, due to state laws. Basically to restore it you have to buy an expensive old building and turn it into a theater or gallery in a small, shrinking poor town in a poor country. It isn't worth doing.

Additionally, you
>>1006965
Fuck, premature ejaculation strikes again.
Additionally you may be wrongly assuming the condition of the building based on me posting a good photo, it is an old and abandoned building with all that implies.
It will be expensive to renovate, and it may be dangerous as well, with lead paints on it, and whatever that white stuff was called that was used in buildings a few decades ago, and was later found to increase lung cancer risk; I cant remember the name right now.
>>1006979
asbestos?
>>1006991
>>1006993
Yes, exactly. Lead paint and asbestos are common in old buildings, and the government approved way of removing them is expensive. You need to surround it with a plastic packaging, only work in limited hours due to noise pollution, the workers are expensive because of the hazards, getting rid of the trash is expensive because of its poisonous nature, etc.
>>1006998
So if I were to go in one of these buildings I would need a gas mask? I've been in one abandoned castle in my life, and I found pic related
This is a WW2 outpost in the woods
>>1007011
Lead paint can lower IQ in young children if they are exposed to it for years, and asbestos exposure can cause cancer over several or more years of constant exposure.
Both are less dangerous than tobacco smoke, for example. You are fine doing it occasionally.

>Has anybody from /his/ been in an abandoned building?
Yes.
>What happens to said buildings over time?
It keeps decaying until the neighbours or the government complains.
>Do the owner or country just forget about the building?
No, the owner is reminded of it every time he has to pay taxes.
>Why don't they destroy it to make space for new ones?
In my case, because ownership is divided between (I shit you not) 12 different individuals most of which are feuding amongst themselves and cannot come to an agreement on what to do with the land.

Near my hometown there's a small village that used to be inhabited, but now it's completely abandoned. A somewhat historical place, present in records from about 1500 onwards. The place has everything, a church, houses, wall, towers, everything.
All the people that lived there used to be farmers working for the local nobleman under the mezzadria system. The house they lived in and the land they farmed was the property of the nobleman, in exchange for the usage of land and house they had to give him 50% (The contracts varied, but it was usually that, thus the name of the contract "Mezzadria", mezzo meaning half in Italian). The place was inhabited until the 60s, and there was a priest still working there for the local people remaining in the farms outside the walls until the 90s.
I've explored quite a bit of it. I went inside the local communist party section, the museum of agricoltural practices, the office of the priest (Where I found phonebooks and other appliances from the 90s), I also went inside an underground storage room for wine, but could not see much because it was flooded. The place doesn't have much shit left, because it has been salvaged by assorted scavengers a whole lot of times.
During the 50s they build a new structure for the school, and there's a lot of stuff from that era sitting there untouched. But a section of the building has been occupied by an association of hunters, so I don't go there and fuck around because lmao they'd shoot.
There's only one old fart that still keeps a house in liveable conditions, he spotted me lurking and I had to befriend him and tell him that I had no bad intentions.
All the people that lived there moved, since the nobleman had some financial problems and had to sell everything. One of the old farts used to be my neighbour, so one day I told her that I would take her to visit the place. It was nice since she told me what used to be where, how they lived.

There's a forest near my house and im said forest I stumbled upon an abandoned shack, probably used by farmers

The state should seize it desu
>>1007443
The slipperiest slope to ever exist.
We need less state, not more.
>>1007445
The state will at least do *something* with it
>>1007399
Good read. Any pixtures?
>>1007459
>sir, we are here to take your land, since you havent cultivated it for the last 3 years
>sir, we noticed your garage has been empty for 3 years, give them keys over
>sir, your family owns multiple cars, yet only drives one

Are you close to slovenian border? There's a place there that's deserted.
>>1007461
Will provide when I'll go visit my parents. The only pictures I have right now feature my mum, since she's fascinated with that place as well, and I ain't posting my mum on channel four.
>>1007524
Take your time,I'd appreciate any material. Usually I'd request pics of dat milf but I'll make an exception as this is /his
>>1006611
My town has WWII air raid shelters all around it in the woodland surrounding it. Most of them are being slowly reclaimed by nature, but they're in pretty good nick for the most part.
The state cares not to deconstruct them, just like the French didn't fill in the trenches after WWI. No real need to. I'm sure the same can be said of other abandoned buildings.
I have no idea why but I'm a huge sucker for decrepit, crumbling historical buildings. Something like Old Town Havana or New Orleans is almost orgasm inducing to me.
>ywn be rich enough to repair a castle and live like an old timey Lord in it
>>1006797
This. My hometown is full of them. Most were not in great shape before the owners left, no upkeep did them no favors. We in particular had a barn left from the 30s that just sits overgrown without purpose, since we don't farm anymore.
The land belongs to us, but it would take more work to dismantle the building than to leave it. We're not using the land, though soon I plan to build a house on it.
These abandoned places always give me the heebie jeebies
>>1008345
That's why I got into history in the first place

good place to shot horror movies
many abandoned buildings are left up because of the cost to renovate or destroy them.
it's becoming a big problem in murica.
>>1006617
this is so stunningly beauitful
ganked that shit to fap to
>mfw no abandoned buildings where I live

No abandoned buildings? Try Detroit!
>>1006617
Hey, I've been there! That's in Detroit, isn't it?
>>1008557
I would like to buy some rural land at some point so I could play around with guns and do fun shit like ATV way outside of the city.
I am thinking of buying some land WAAY out of the way, outside of any kind of touristy areas. I've heard though in these kinds of situations locals will come and fuck with your shit.
Is this a valid concern?
>>1013192
I'm from Slovenia
>>1013212
How dare your country be too nice to have ruins. You could probably live in Detroit for Iraq-tier housing prices
>>1013216
I have about 20 castles in my area (25 km radius) that are in good shape. And about 10-15 that are ruins but those are about 1h away from my place. The closest one is about 20 minutes away from where I live
>>1013230
>There are Slovenians with 20 more castles around them than you will ever have
>>1013262
They are small. Think of a really big house. Here's one of them

Kot kaže sma istočasno prišla gor. V resnici sem trenutno na faxu v MB pa nimam cajta it v te kraje na kak dnevni izlet.
In the US if you want to buy a property that is abandoned you have to pay all the taxes that the previous owner still owes on the property. Hence nobody wants to buy that shit and fix it up.

Did a tour of Detroit a few years back, was not disappointed
