When President Donald Trump’s boyhood home in Jamaica Estates sold in March for $2.14 million, locals expected property values in their neighborhood to soar.
Months-long media buzz surrounding the sale of the property at 85-15 Wareham Pl. near Henley Road — where Trump was born and lived until he was 4 — included speculations that one day it might become an official historic site.
But a little more than two months after the sale closed, the house appears to be deserted and knee-deep grass which has not been trimmed since March shelters various pests and neighborhood cats, neighbors complain.
“It’s been left unkempt and anyone who sees it is going to consider it abandoned,” said Deborah Ayala-Braun, who lives next door, and worries that properties in the area may now see a drop in value instead.

In years to come I will make a YUGE profit when I sell this place back to President Donald John Trump, for his presidential library.
Until then, if you would like to trim the grass and manage fauna and flora, be my guest...

Some asian bought it-- no news there. But you have to admit it's kinda weird even for them. Lots of money to tie up to let it go to shit.
When a foreign buyer owns a house where nobody lives, what do you expect?
Just like Der Drumpf has done to the country.
But, in the end, I love democracy. Only here do we get to elect a paranoid megalomaniac our leader.
Move over, Kim Jung Un. You've got a partner in the dictatorship hall of shame!
Chinese blockbusting a community ...
and the Democratic Party bosses will cheer him on and do nothing because to prove a point is more important to them than a strong community which is a problem because they stand up to you.
Think of that house as a symbol of America, a once great nation now in ruins being bought by foreigners.
Isn't there such a thing called code enforcement in the City of New York?I grew up in Queens and Nassau County, and my family left New York in 1980. Glad they left when they did, as it's pitiful to see the up-zoning, white flight, and loss of quality of life that have come about as a result of those changes.
