eli5 why abandoned houses get in rough shape, But lived in houses are fine after being unchanged for years?

485 views

I have seen so many videos on YouTube of homes that have been abandoned for 5-10 years and they are just falling apart, But then my house hasn’t been renovated or anything in 8 years or so, and it’s in good condition. Wouldn’t the same thing happen to my house since it’s unchanged?

The short answer is teenagers. Always breaking shit, I know I was and a lot of other dumb kids too. Plus an abandoned house feels like a victimless crime, so explore and destroy and have a ball and leave.
