I have a friend who has been to an abandoned naval base in the aleutian chain. he said that it was crazy, it had been built to house 6000 people complete with schools, housing, an underground olympic size swimming pool, etc. when the naval base packed up and left, they left everything and turned it over to the native population of the island, about 500 people. all of the village's services take place in the high school, including their library, village council, etc. apparently most everything else was trashed: windows smashed, the pool half full of years stagnant water, dead rats, and dozens of household appliances.
