So i think you can only begun so long. Its not fun and you leave and go home and. In fact i wouldnt call the trenches. From the thirtys onward every single president has spoken of homeownership almost as the basis of citizenship your ability to own a home kind of makes us citizen the most tangible cornerstone that lies at the heart of the American Dream and thats the chance to own your own home those of us whove been given positions of responsibility to us all must do everything we can to spotlight the dream and make sure that dream shines in all neighborhoods. Across the country i say to millions of young working couples by the time your children are ready to start the 1st grade we want you to be able to get home. To be secure in their home and. People need to. Make. A. Lot more. Im jim the realtor heres some tips for home buyers number one work with a great realtor a good realtor sells a least one house a month check their sales history on selo. Americans. Buying homes in Southern California especially we dig real estate and we forgot about the bugs and all the other trouble the financing and everything else. And here we are right back at it frenzied up 51015 buyers for every house like none of that ever happened. To. The 800 video. I documented the Real Estate Market on you tube i got almost 1500 you tube was. Going to give people really good sense of whats happening. I mean sure of this that today that house sold for 1. 6. 1 point one im talking millions here. Point 4. 585. I dont know what to say. But its going to work. I dont know what the heck it is the dollhouse. Pull in the front yard. Slightly unfinished. Firepit. Why is stealing a trick to get me all the other planets is all stolen. Or could have been so nice about those pillars that they had to steal this and im not sure. Theres. 15 houses on this street. I think it was. At least 8 of them had loans way over a 1000000 but if youre sit nono. 1. 2 or 1. 4 loans and you see houses listed for. 585 they can make you feel. That next payment. So what we saw in 2008 was unwinding. Fine it system what most people understand as a financial crisis or a problem of our Housing Stock actually is on wanted to give a social contract that was built in the 1940 s. And so understanding that and how the American Home was the basis of how we organize the economy and how we organize social stability is an important part of understanding why we are where we are now. I dont. Think you used to be old many years ago. Years ago. I did. Born here many years ago and they used to be an. Issue around here someplace you know where. I was converted. That used to be a tiny tiny. Let me just check up a little bit. Of the punch from nonwhite. When i was 6 months old we moved from little italy in manhattan. There was a Housing Project one night my uncle frank was already as white and. Came down as. Bats and steaks on the way to fight a bunch of black guys and they walked past us. And my uncle frank said to my father get this kid this neighborhood. And it was not that long after that that we. Bridge. How much you want 38. 1000. Here. But what i love about this town is. What i consider to be. People like us who go. Down the 1st community. In the nation now but everybody thought it was going to fail. It is like that. Coming out of the 2nd world war the idea of mass production became something that was truly a reality a. Look. All new world. The idea that came to a man named bill levitt what this wind up mass produced the elements that go to make up all the Auto Industry does what the parts that go into a new car. When i was living there it was at a very particular moment and that was coming out of postwar trajectory that created the need for that type of housing. Returning to that you can house for as little as 500. 00 down and that 99. 00 and im not as pretty as the federal government was insuring your market. You had the g. I. Bill in turns in construction of new homes so the whole idea is your government wants you to have a home so this was an easy way to sort of jumpstart the housing industry and make homeownership possible without those subsidies lower middle class families would never been able to afford to Massive Movement into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 950 s. Soon to be 966. I was a Police Officer in the National County and we were the swat team as well. Who im going to say you know to story about sticking it. In the middle of winter i did i did it. Right on that where. If you couldnt afford to. Put a down payment. That they would let you rent then what the option to buy just to. Buy the guy. On. The progress own Building Firm in the world. Bank an awful lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no everything out to be dont want if you go back to William Levitt he said no man who owns his own home and lot can be a communist because he has too much to do. This was a fundamental part of how our Political Leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a home right i mean after work there are 30 or jobs that go along with it that match the 30 year mortgage and then you know rebel right as the things you dont revolt if you have a stake in the system. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation or community. You go in the right way or are you being led. By. What is true whats his face. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maid in the shallows. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were too few houses were. Preserved was located and the only. Access to the story for investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. You go ahead of north in. D. C. May be a sort of. Thing for justice. To report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history lets. Let that said the kitchen made certain this famous now mass in the history of postwar has to. Say sickly next and same to christian and the strength of the American Economy is the postwar home in the ability of americans to purchase consumer durables to fella colettes complete not even a system that will give the people more good will be a better system and this one particular moment nixon was right. This was the strength and the American Economy. I can remember even. As a kid looking at house magazines and seeing these incredible visions of the future that house represented in those pages was something that you could aspire to and that was starting to become a reality. Wonder what it would be to come out by. Entering comics. The house of 99 to. Be virtually maintenance free. 3 life will be richer. As face age dreams come true. Life. After you leave. My. Empty. Hello. Everybody give me 45 minutes i buddy boy. I like. If only think. That levy did that with the long. Holiday that. The only thing that never did that would be to 1st one to admit theres. No blacks allowed. Old black so much. And that. Is disgraceful. To some fighting alongside a black man willing to die for his country. And he cant buy a house next to me and live again. And then i dont make any sense from. Now we were looking for a place. Where we like the advantages of love and offer a. Comparison to other cities. And we understood that it was going to be all white we are very happy to. Move in you come to this neighborhood you know in me too deep its different. To nonchalantly come. As no new census but it gives you a feeling like sending. I was struck by how familiar it felt it was a connection to have a town that they both developed as postwar suburbs. I believe going in he built these houses he really built these houses for the veterans coming home from the war it was hard for him to get financing for these houses because they were so different the whole social part was had by his design. And. I shouldnt even say dont im not even going to open oh he was a socialist and i think a lot of the people that moved in here. Im going to get into this. My father is gregory fairly well known in california architect from the fortys and fiftys. So this is letters. To say i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit to the basement drafting rooms that yeah why didnt have to tell of johnsons jewel in new canaan he is a real fascist intellectual. I started running through some old papers and then i came across this you know 200 page 100 he had 200 page file that the f. B. I. Kept on and then they were watching everything he did in the mid fortys to the mid fiftys. Gregory believes that decent housing should be their right and everyone not just the privileged very wealthy people. Watching 12 percent of the population is black there should be a lot of black families living out here yeah this is only a beginning but i think its wonderful well lets see how wonderful it is what i want to bellow winds come flying out. There my olds. The neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large the plants was 400. 00 homes and only 52. 00 were built the f. H. A. At that time didnt think that enter graded neighborhoods would be as. Tracked it to the general public and theyre providing mortgage insurance and in their minds for that would bring down the value of the homes. You know most people in america the value of those homes and parents passing that on to their children that made the biggest difference africanamericans were left out and that. That inability to protests have paid and what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now. Would. Be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history housings man in the United States not just that question of the American Dream but the bigger question of who the dream has been for. Its easy to. See the. Being. All. Possible is a beautiful little city with a lot of bad habits. The house is a beautiful. House. I dont really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. My days in the. Week. And nice apartment complex. Decent. Night it was fine when i got back to the city. Center somewhere for a week just to get a house together. So many neighborhoods. This neighborhood still pretty much put the same. Vacant we used to go. From. Its rather hard to go on and fight every day before they got a big. You know a jam packed on over there. Didnt feel as empty as it does now you say. Baltimore is a microcosm of many urban areas in america and it is like dickens would say the tale of 2 cities. You have great investments in certain parts of town and other and looking like a ghost town. Anyways is the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. Where racial zoning was. Racially richard 2 covenants were also created here. We have a myth in this country that the reason neighborhoods are segregated this because people like to live with one another who are of the same race or because africanamericans have too little income to move into white neighborhoods or because this private prejudice that prevents africanamericans from buying homes in white neighborhoods and thats all true but its a tiny tiny part of the truth. Theres intentionality with the capital decisions that were made around housing in the fortys and in the fiftys and i think people are a lot to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design you have the if its in the be a federal Housing Administration a Veterans Administration they subsidize Home Building in the suburbs and then they say is racially exclusive it means white people can move out to these areas black people. What is probably a surprise to a lot of people is that red lining is created by. The federal government. Thats when the white bank is drawing red lines around black areas and dont give up no green. The single greatest most important aspect of any functioning society is price discovery price discovery more so than any moral or aesthetic or ethical. Kind of set of rules because without sound money without some price discovery you dont have a society full stop. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. The day or thinks. We fear to ask. When im going to be out there see i dont think about it at all many grown men not need their help or. I kind of what i wanted on course if im not big now one think its higher than the. Members of the africa mafia is safe and quick passage to europe but once they. Leave they are in sleeves they count speech util. Will not some of the leave your mama not often and you know. This you need to get it out if. Somebody. They sold the. Lead. On court of the united. Because the persona that i cant even use can be the normal. Constanza take on islamic radicalism off to be horrific killing of a history teacher but african muslims fear they will bear the brunt of the governments response which has been showing you live pictures from near paris where people are marching in a never a time yuletide to me. When i feel that you know i will have to maybe be careful for what i paused and my freedom of speech as a human rights of my to this is literally on the balance. On the station issues elsewhere in europe a lebanese man is denied german citizenship over his refusal to shake hands with a woman discrimination though i justified request opinions differ. But it was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different tone
