Is the information in this article really accurate?

I looked up Gulf City's co-ordinates in Google Earth, and what I found is nothing like what this article describes. Far from being an isolated ghost town inaccessible by road, Gulf City begins just off the exit of what looks like a major highway (41). If that isn't proof enough that cars can indeed get there, Google Street View has almost full coverage of the town, and from the Street View photos it's clear that this supposedly abandoned village has nothing in it but houses with cars in their driveways. And it doesn't look like some brand new development either. Am I missing something? If anybody ever sees this and cares enough to investigate or clarify, please do so, because this bugs me.

You're right. I just checked and this place seems to be inhabited. They ever have a website for local real estate at [1]. I think this article may be deliberately misleading. Will look into it further. 64.180.40.75 (talk) 07:52, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This cinches it: [2]. The link shows four houses currently for sale in Gulf City. Town is inhabited. 64.180.40.75 (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are people buried in the town's cemetery, to up the present: [3]. 64.180.40.75 (talk) 08:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to an unincorporated community. Clearly not a ghost town. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:55, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
