"I'm not sure I'd like a McMansion with that ginormous hangar in the backyard." So far those hangars are the only positive attribute.
I still don't know if either or both is coming down (or already has) but there will never be another one built & they're pretty impressive structures.

(Lots of pigeons in 'em however) Not just pigeons! Entire ecosystems live in those things. Hawks, rodents, stray cats, you name it.
I went through the Whittier earthquake inside one of those things. It was like being inside a shaking jello mold.

Both Hangars are still there. One will be demolished for sure, and one will be kept for sure. There are some salvage companies licking their chops over the one that's coming down. It's a timber structure, and the timbers in there are worth a fortune. It will be put to good use in it's demise.
There's actually bigger hangers than the one at Tustin:
This is Moffet Field near San Jose, CA. The two hangars in the backround are identical to the ones in Tustin. The one in the foreground is much larger. You have to be next to it to appreciate it's true size.
Here's a close up:
