Areas that meant the benefit of the potential homeowners flowing to whites and not. Racism into our ownership. Problem a job problem is made most of them up and libel wimbledon dont know that we did are probably going to work with them living 2 doors away so we passed a law in 1988 the Fair Housing Act it proclaims that fair housing. Actually affirmatively go out and say how do we do. It so the government. Betrays. I find as i travel across the country that. Whether were talking about white americans or people who maybe grow but in other minority groups like the mexican americans i rest. Just like the black americans what everybody wants is an equal chance to have a piece of the action that the federal government has never enforced the Fair Housing Act and that state and local governments do not enforce the very. Beginning you know you can have federal policy but its the local administration of these policies that often the black people receive discriminatory treatment hello my name is out on washington on call about the about an approximate part of their. Hello my name is graham wellington and im calling about the apartment around on park street vailable. What is really so what does this mean it means the places that were segregated in the thirtys fortys and fiftys theyre still racially segregated today because we havent done anything to undo the racial segregation. Levittown today is over 95 percent white very few minority families living there. When fix the damage that was done we just allowed all those inequalities to continue but said from this day forward we cant discriminate sell it and fix it all of these policies and practices these systems. Federal government State Government or local government. They converge to sort of create concentrated poverty by the time we reach the fiftys and sixtys so that creates a situation where many urban areas you have like what George Clooney would call you know chocolate cities in the little suburbs. They still call it the white house but thats a temporary condition. Theres a lot of. Weve got to get some i dont need to get l. A. Working on. You know you will be. Interesting to tell you. The ways you know grandma promise that a president can think they got the better the government going to. Do this yes. That is. The condition of blacks veterans and whites veterans diverged even though when they returned from the war they were economically similar families. Public housing then became a black phenomenon. People fall into this category they have to go where. It. Is. Not. In nature. And. Cities and to adequately service neighborhoods that were heavily concentrated with africanamericans garbage collection wasnt picked up as frequently the streets werent repair those well the conditions deteriorated and the urban areas became slums. You know i would like to rub americas nose in this is say youre going to get it you want to reject that boy but i certainly would it would hate to think that anybody thought i said they were giving up hope what im really saying is the society as a whole people who live you know a struggle you know thats what im really saying theyre going to go on struggling anyway whether we fail or succeed. At the same time you have concentration you also have clearance you have. Structure which is destroying black communities i was often time in urban areas a built did in the middle of black communities so theres a sort of rising anger frustration that took place. But once it became slums sardis looked at them and said well we need to do some slum clearance. Where all those black people are all those loci is where they gone one end up rooting out neighborhood bad did it messing with our unity it takes 10 years to really reaches out and they know what to do in a systematic genocide that. Systematic as well as African American families who were displaced had to move somewhere so those families would have a section 8. The idea behind section 8 is fabulous its exactly what one would hope is that people who are impoverished have an opportunity to move into neighborhoods that are not impoverished and fortunately for black americans it doesnt work that way. A large reason for that is you can still legally discriminate against someone for using a section 8 voucher so landlords and most suburbs would not accept section 8 housing factors and thats perfectly legal. Why homeowners deathly afraid of a black person moving next to them because blackness is associated with lower home values we share your presence in the neighborhood c c c dont undermine the value of our homes and were concerned were going to get a move out before it becomes Common Knowledge that theres a family in the area. Its nothing personal all we never really is it was tercel but i feel real that we grew up in philadelphia actually originally and we were in an all black neighborhood and my life changed when we moved to south jersey not far from some of the levittown type of neighborhoods and when we came in and the police had to come in with us because people were throwing things at our house and terrorizing our house at night. We moved there because we wanted a place that was integrated and we just wanted to raise our standard of living and it was the strength of my parents that said this is where were going to be. Do you think really moving here will affect the community as a whole. In what way i can get well the Property Values will go down if they are allowed to move in here and any number do you think them are 11 property. I dont think. Property craig. And i think a purely white. Rap. Well as a result of all these policies we created a segregated system and because we forgotten now this entire history of how it happened white families believes that they got where they are simply by their own hard work and determination to succeed in the middle class life. But they dont understand is that their parents could have came as an immigrant from a white country and immediately had access to loans and the ability to move into white neighborhoods and black americans whose families had been citizens for generations could not. And so its not saying that their families didnt work hard but it is saying that their families benefit from a great deal of affirmative action to get where they are. White americans dont see what its like to live in these communities. And so because of that they are unable to connect with what it is like to be in these areas that have been deprived of every type of opportunity. Now how do these communities get seen. They go for decades in these festering situations. And segregated communities that have been completely abandoned. And sending we see them only when they burn something. People. Like condition that they dont want to. Even want but moving. To make it what it is. But it is safer and all the merrier. You. Know. If we had not been willing to recognize the levels that we must be if were to do something about the dangers that face us now it shouldnt be that hard to understand why that becomes kind of the ultimate outcry because its the only way that these committees become visible to most americans. Was a pandemic no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities. As americans we dont come with me we dont look like. Sick. Commentary to sleep the same things. We can do better we should be. Everyone is contributing to each her own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. Prison was located and only cia people had odds as to the story for investigators she held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. He grated nor in. Hockey see maybe a sore knee yes or no for. Crying for justice on nazi. Seemed wrong. Rowles just dont call. Me. Yet to say pout just because as a kid and engaged equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. I dont want to think. Were going to be. Where it is not on here but youre getting what are you going to do that youre going to pull out and thats. Going to get people. Who are my little sort of just a platter of middle name and you want to hear of me where they were on a tour of. 1956 when i came out here to farms i was 5 years old when i came here in 149 i came from the south bronx my father foresaw the future in that area. And we did he had a very outstanding career with the Police Department they took him out of the south bronx for the benefit of the community when i 1st became a policeman i was in a riot squad and a riot or any type of demonstration it was in the city i went to it mostly i was cops on the job then and they were nasty in there tell you to move and you move youve got to stick i mean there was and you didnt you didnt disobey protest when you want. To protest but you see guys. Putting holes in the hoses showing camperdown and that used to businesses but to people. You have a right to protest but you dont have a right to do that. Are you sick and tired of looking hopper yes but nothing you have a way to out to achieve Financial Freedom its pretty easy to do if you chose. Its so easy to make money then stay and then claim to be a medium that by age 25. Years im going to do many more like this for millions of dollars. 7 building 30 days.

If you could for more. Seriously try to be a little less crazy. He has a. Regional plan from the university of minnesota. Please give. Thank you. Thank you. A little bit about our organization strong towns our ization is now evolved into a National Movement of people trying to reconfigure their communities to be more financially sound. Post world war 2 america the financing mechanisms of it act very much like a ponzi scheme you had this immediate sugar high with this. Long term liability kind of hanging out there in the future and the last generation the one thats going to pick up the bill. We prayed on our fellow americans just so we could keep the growth and nobody stopped to consider the impact that this was going to have on real people and real families. Finding foreclosures. I just saw that. The United States was through real estate so i was determined. That. It was so much fun and when we were making Money Company had season tickets to the lakers right behind. Leonardo dicaprio literally right in front of us and when he used to date. 15 years old right in front of hair is hanging over the back of her seat. That. He starts playing with. Anyway. But. Theres a new product that started to flood the market 125 percent. And when i 1st started seeing i said this is a recipe for disaster. Or with too many too many monthly payments. To 120 percent of the value or less your mortgage they went after the payment. They did they get a 50000. 00. That. Wasnt a Home Improvement it was a signature along if you could do whatever you want i just thought it was an exceedingly irresponsible. Product. I took advantage of me. Taking taking someone come on. Mikey through. A set of eyes no no. The lenders got greedy and they figured ok we exhausted the 125. 00 potential pool. Lets go make it super easy to get purchase money now if you were to ask me what the perfect credentials are to qualify for a home loan i honestly couldnt tell you may i help you sir i. Need a quick answer on a new home loan. Stated income stated employment stated stated stated which means whatever the borrower says is factual is recently as 1997 you had to put 20 percent down and he had to struggle to save that kind of money if asked for 5 years and a busboy from a local coffee shop can buy the same house for nothing you have to verify your credit so the credit we dont have in it we cant pay cash we do without. What you say. You could read the entire American Economy i mean where would this country be able to know more than we could pay back. In order for the house of cards to stay standing it has to get bigger so the guy thats in the 3 better one and a half out house hes got to move up to the 4 bottom 2 bath house. The house a car just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and its just all on fake valuations. Yeah at that point the home did absolutely become a vehicle for excess prices rising from the case shiller index i look at it on there and i say yes this looks good its much better than expected you look at the number and say. Nobody knows where home prices are going to do. People are increasingly speculative when they buy a house a major concern is how much can i sell this to someone else at the other end it can be called the greater fool theory maybe im a fool the buys its a big house but im going to. To an even greater fool. There were people who thought 50 or 100 years ago that home prices should decline with. The reason is they wear out. Dont expect to gain the expected to lose value that was a common view in the past. We have come as a society to place a tremendous amount of value on the home itself. And the bigger the home the better. Its interesting because living in the houses were meant to evolve and change as families evolved and changed over time. The idea was that this home would be liveable all your life you could have one bedroom with 3 bedrooms to pending on what your needs were at the time and this area was an extension of the living room or it could be closed off and become the bed very. Close here. As youre going to enclose it here. You might enter. The hall. So i have a. Better hallway know where all the entrances are to the bedrooms so it could be a one bedroom or 3 bedroom right now we create that one bedroom here and there a are one bedroom that could be partitioned with a rolling wall so it will become 2 bedrooms. It was an extension of the dynamic coming out of postwar idea of what the house provided wasnt really about the upscaling or the supersizing of the house and so that relationship between the group. Of the physical house was still somehow in balance subsequently people began to make the scale shift where the houses became just warraich. Im in love with this. Hope in a fight because. I dont think it is. A. 5000 square feet one staircase theyre going to visit. Their kids. Feel like its very attractive. To see that. Its really more suited for grandma she doesnt want to have a deep. 12 foot ceilings on a mcmansion theyre going the way that. People want to buy what they need and they dont want any extra and this has so much Square Footage of wasted space. They might get away with one more sale but in the years to come its going to be tougher and tougher. On. Theres just tremendous economic dependence on this idea that we can keep. On their own lots and that they have to keep marching across the landscape because its a huge part of the economy depends on being. Told. Yes so our Property Line is just basically the white picket fence all the way around. Back up to there. So were going to. Much. So this whole. Industry of easy quick money for property did not end at the retail borrower. Developers were exposed to these funds. So these companies were going in and buying up swaths of land from these farmers at ridiculous prices just given them enough money for their great grandchildren to retire and it was just so hard to say no. To everything and thats where you see all of the citrus farms in the inland empire gone. In of course the cities were lovely because the tax base is on Real Property with a house on it is far higher than firmly. The cities are seeing their tax base. Literally overnight. Developments stops. Tax rises financial survival stacey a salad spill out lets say im not so i. Have to fight wall street fought thank you for helping. Destroy thats right. Thats slavery. You know what i mean maybe i dont think about it i dont mean a grown man now or. I kind of were on their own course. And i think now i think its have enough. Members from africa mafias safe and quick to europe but once they. Leave they count speech util. Will not some of them maybe a mom and i couldnt you know if this unit can get it out i mean. They sold the. Lead. On court of the united. Because the persona that cant even. Be the norm in. France vals a take on islamic radicalism after the heroic horrific killing of a history teacher but average muslims a fear they will bear the brunt of the governments response. When i fear that you know i will have to leave the cure for all for all of what they poorest of my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance. And integration issues elsewhere in europe a lebanese man is denied german citizenship over his refusal to shake hands with a woman discrimination or justified request opinions differ. But it was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different value system
