But were, we can ago, but rent situation all over torontos the same way. There is, it is a fiction by another name. And have you had any response from that cap yet . I guess its rather harassing bart had a sign on her. She had a side on her balcony about the red stripe and they threatened her victor. Im giving you this notice because i want to end your tendency. I want you to move out of your rental unit by such and such date reason. I believe that you or someone living with you has committed an illegal act and 6, a series critic, ality.

So the neighborhoods getting gentrified up, you know, familiar with liberty village. Its moving, its come right up to king and duffer and, and this is, its only one direction into our neighbor and were in the way. Ah ah ah no, i only go if youre so nice that or go so that church did you go directly to the chart in the greater toronto area, for example, in the last 30 years, housing prices have increased by 425 percent. Whereas in a similar 30 year period, average Family Income has only grown by a 133 percent. So Something Else is in play and clearly its not the economic fundamentals as you can see from the above graph. So are you going to send this or after 9 am . I will need to check the numbers 1st, but its pretty. I mean that its pretty grim. Ah, i think we are at a incredibly urgent moment. The extent to which were seeing urban ization collide with stagnant wages and a lack of affordability is unprecedented. So you have like poor people really struggling now like like never before. But then you also have the middle class unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for city. I dont want to over use the word crisis, but it suggests a crisis. So then we start asking, wait a 2nd, whos going to live in cities . Who are cities for, ah, ah, its not tom Rocket Science enough. What do we think people need to have a dignified life . And its clear that decent Housing Affordable Housing has one of those things and its supported by international law. Kennedy heights family is just an hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced out on the streets. Problem housing is gobbling up more shrinking paychecks. People and 59 out of 102 Countries Worldwide would need to see their yearly income for a least 10 years in order to buy a house in their country. There are 2 histories we might say that intersect to day in that space that we call the city and one of them is familiar aisha, which is so what we have for which we have used the term gentrification. When i hear people today saying its gentrification, one reaction and ironic reaction is if only its much deeper than fact, its much more foundational. Oh, a fill in even though. So then either way i see of apple. I then you the now i dont i mean that was like were in the home, have an older woman breaker. A is being pressured to abandon her home because its in the midst of. 9 these Big New Development here, there was a hospital, its been demolished and it was demolished to make way for condominiums, luxury condominiums, and they dont even own this land. Ive heard that there are many units standing vacant already, luxury condos. And last because no one about body so can afford to buy and purchase any of these units. So these developments are clearly not for the people about 8th them. Mm hm. Oh yeah, you did, and im busy though for me. So it was, you dont know whats going on, a lot of sadly, you know, having been all you, i meant hed window. I dont have a photo, i dont, i dont know, but it well, this is what i see happening around the world. Are buying up of land, the displacement of the poorest people and the putting up a luxury in it or not actually for the people who live in the community. I own it based a contact phone. No been talking to rectify you. Does mean yes, i do a demo. If you look at a silly most into my nightmare. Weve had no heat all through april, no hot water all through april. Theres water leaking underneath, the st. New owners have taken over. We havent met some, we havent seen them. We dont know anything of it couldnt be frosty the snowman. For all i know theyre trying everything do with i mean that you what im, what you as i mean actually been, danny, this is where i grew up. And i, you know, ill be hell bent and balance. Im going to be study here we go. All right, bye. Have a good. Thank you very much. Yeah, its very good. I was way out and maybe not, you know, when you go somewhere boys in notting hill, ive heard about the feel more will have an awe thing i liked about this areas in the community. You know, your frames are all face or colors is one wedge. This is ashley family because even if we dont know each other, we know to her by faith. I was born just 5 minutes from here and in the seventys and eightys and ninetys are seen, whole area change of pop stars and people moving into the area because they light, the vibe to live is really cool. The people seen the world, the film that come out from all around the world. They want to see where the blue doorways. They want to see this, that the bookshop, it became very, very trendy places to live. And then the new School Ledger center thats going to attract the wealthy people to come down to the area. And then they stop buying up properties that need to live there. But you know, because this abstract Us Investment for them bad and put in the bank to offer stopped on the highlight tour of london cryptography properties. These 2 properties are worth perhaps 20000000 pounds each. I believe mister paid something in the region of 40 or 50000000 pounds for it. If you could get a whole one of these, it would be 30 or 40000000 pounds and nobody lives here and nothing is happening to this thing. So its become a dead spot in london. There was news agents, there were pubs, there were a couple of restaurants, but the community itself has evaporated. So we, we puzzle flight 94. If i saw my fly i could not live in kenton shall say. Ill be forced out the area and ill have to actually 40 move out of london. I can stand in the middle of the street with m to car Parking Spaces all around me and no traffic coming. The space is now a bit of a dead, so we have very little indication of who the owners are and a lot of them are completely empty. So you cant go up and ask them who they are. Theyre actually just empty all the time. Ah one way of putting it is, this is not at all healthy. Ah, yeah. And building they function as asked. You want those houses to be empty and unused because you can play with them. You reach these dark empty buildings and they are making money. So when people think of poor investors, something went wrong. Hell, know why . My 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon of vacant dwellings. I was pretty average. I remain outraged in a human rights framework. And through the u. N. System, its very clear who was accountable States States are responsible, they have International Human rights obligations, they sign treaties, and they make commitments to the International Community that they will uphold International Human rights which include the right. Adequate housing. Wow i know thats a real block or a silly and call to my door. And then i open the front door as a blanket oh, black smoke. Disclosable. Very common thinking of is a fire. Ah, im with you right now is the beginning of the file. Weve still, we need for 2 and a half hours. Thats the beginning. Thats ah. When i heard about it, i was in canada and watching it unfold through twitter and then i started getting these details. Social housing estate, marginalized community community, sat in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor Housing Conditions from before the fire. Ah, and i see an arm here come through this month. God grant my wife and then another on. And that was my come to to kind of grab myself said, how about my dog, my dog . The officer said no, im sorry. Were gonna have to go. So just look to my dog. And i. Is this an amazing my dogs, my blood, my child is a t o b, who could loise hamilton the 2nd, but he chose his own name given the options need, like louis so saw his and then we will off into the darkness and then on going down and then on treading on things quick oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell, but then the realization. Now i figured people off on treading on, on, im bodies on treading on something. Something this is that is in my way, i was actually quite happy when they put, clad in to make it pretty make it look nicest for the surrounding area. And somebody knew that that dirt on the cheek. There were these elements that seem to be a bit of a global phenomenon where you have a kind of vulnerable community, most of the people in the rental working, but theyre working poor literally living side by side with incredibly wealthy people. And i credible amount of wealth the tension between the 2 and then watching this fire, it was like a physical representation of the displacement of a community. For me, thats the narrative of the world right now. One of the i had one of the counselors while the counselor said, if you cant live in no, and hell day should niche and be milledgeville, was all about to Say Something like that. Did you get, well go from. So hes not people that live there or their lives. I just didnt want to you like that. And this will limit, make me sick. You want to why brief issamottom . Well, just disregard them like their rubbish. Like they have that file, it has but it was like, you know, this is the richest, all in a bargain. How can i help him . Oh, you have human rights obligations. He and you cant let these investors and the Financial System run amok on its own. I see why human rights, every Single Person has a bunch of rights. And then i have a question for you. And that is a, you are legal scholar on human rights. You just, okay, yes. Her, you have the instrumentality. That is the law. Exactly. Because when i see is those with power board, can they deploy the law in ways that work for their stuff is happening. You know, ah, prices go up in a neighborhood that is fixed. Thats when the everybody understands that part. And then they should understand that at that point, another actor might come into the picture, a monster that nobody can see that nobody really understands whose language is in comprehend. Who is this . What is happening here . Ah, i dont believe that capitalism itself is usually problematic. Is unbridled capitalism in an area that is a human right . Problematic. Yes. And i think thats what differentiates housing as a commodity from gold as the commodity gold is not a human right. Housing is, ah, so common sense. Somebody minute, wow. Wow. The previous landlord that i think was c a c d. I think they did put information up. Let that let us know that the build the complex is going to be sold. But this is before phil, phil. Phil came it, you know, who is fairfield . I dont know who they are from what im told to pay a bill is a subsidiary of um is a black stone. Right. Private equity firm . Yes, exactly. They want to raise each each accommodate the rent up to like 900. 00 each. That is by 900. 00 by not a dollar. And are you going to be able to pay that . I dont know. I mean, i can definitely say next it is, isnt it we have one ago. I dont have a clue. I dont know. Right. And do you mind me asking, are you employed design . Yeah. And so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 190 asi cool. Right . Yes. 9090 percent. Do you consider that affordable for you . And i think human rights law hasnt caught up and it worries me that i havent quite yet found the language. How do we describe it in a way that will make sense resonate and really get at that issue. Im still looking. Im looking for that. I feel a little bit desperate about that. So maybe i need to keep talking to the people in the financial field with us tacos find out. I notice when i came here was lisa already lived admitted the opening hours. They show with our tenants that they are willing to to me from and this is 3 hours or week um on tuesdays. So every time an apartment is vacant, they thought they renovation, whereby they can increase the rents. Wheeler of free 50 percent. But these are increased, rents have no connection at all to the actual costs. Why this is very, very profitable for them. Ah finance. Surely dish from the bank we only banks. Thats fine. You know its sell something. We pay money for. Finance is totally different. I always say finer, so something it does not and that means that finance is basically an extract extract finance. Its like mining once it has extracted what it needs, it doesnt care what happens with the rest, hulu, the value of all real estate. That functions as an asset is 217. 00 trillion dollars. Thats more than global g, d, p. Of all the countries in the world of all the economies in the world. Ah, theyre highly kennel flashed. Extract. Because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments. But nobody whos not in that business can understand it so complex that we delegate to the experts. Who are the experts . Is the Financial Sector itself live and robust debate, a lot of folks when they hear the word refugee think stranger, they think other law literally stuck in these camps. Its regardless of your raise the way youre coming from. And you said, give everybody safety from global issues to those that need to be heard.

Ill see here and ryan, a call come on being with the largest Real Estate Private equity firm in the world. Weve got investments and people around the globe. But by keeping our business entrepreneurial we can move very, very quickly. John gray, i said global head of real estate for blackstone group, which is the Worlds Largest private equity manager. So one of the market you went into was a Single Family homes. And i know you have a big portfolio at 50000 or yes. So how do you even find 50000 . Yeah, the buyer. You need a, a Global Financial crisis for that to occur. Youre sitting around in 2011. Youre saying, where is there a large pool of assets that are going to be sold by Financial Institutions at big discounts to underlying replacement costs. And it was pretty obvious. It was Single Family homes would spend 25000. 00 or so fixing him up. And then lets random out and make income producing assets out of him like an apartment business, but just not in one large complex, but if we do it in enough scale, i was just poking around, trying to get my head around some of the stuff around hedge funds and buying app distress, mortgages and all of that. And i went on to the blackstone website i, ive worked with bruce for more than 20 years. Hes an advocate and i think so differently than anyone i know. So basically buy up a whole neighborhood, gentrify the whole thing. Mm double or triple the value of the real estate just because youve jumped in for the neighborhood. Of course, everybody also and makes no mention of people really at least at least that by minute. 16 and a half, he hasnt mentioned like the people that would be living in those places. We own Properties Around the globe. We buy these investments on behalf of a companys life wax only for any the big Financial Enterprises were the big winners in the crisis. They were the big winners in the housing market. There rose in big winners in the equity markets. It was as if the u. S. Government, rather than helping the homeowners who were losing their homes, actually sided with the banks, encouraged foreclosures to clean up the books, gave the money to hedge funds and, and private equity firms who dan bought the, the distressed assets to make money. So it is the way that the 2008 crisis has played an Important Role increasing wealth inequality in United States and, and other countries that have been inflicted by the crisis. It doesnt totally work as the statement yet. Let me give you a snapshot of the new world of housing, and while i do so, i urge you to reflect on the images behind me. Just like that. Like, i cant remember how we did it with the homelessness report. But i remember when i was re reading my statement, i did have that if a pin dropped, we would have heard it in the room. And thats what i need because they know half the time theyre on their blackberries and not paying attention where theyre, i phones, i suppose now ill, i mean homelessness is a bit different to, you know, were seeing images of people. And part of the problem is that when youre describing the stuff is supposed to be shocking, its all cranes and buildings of glass and stuff. And so youre not moved to the same one. Distinguished delegates. We are living in a new world, a world in which the housing sector has been transformed by Global Corporate financial actors and massive amounts of excess global capital. Global Residential Real Estate is now valued at 163. 00 trillion dollars. More than twice the worlds total g, d. P. Housing has been financial ised valued as a commodity rather than a human dwelling. What i am suggesting is a significant change away from the commodification of housing in order to retrieve what housing means in terms of Human Dignity and security as a lived experience, as a human right. Thank you. A little thing for the near buildings, the new estate, which is now called elephant paul, which replaces the high guy state where i used to live with so many, all of them when you flatten as part of the development sold in hong kong and singapore. When that sold overseas, theyre not necessarily so for people to live in the soldiers invest wouldnt like to sort of romanticize what it was like before. Right. But it was an ordinary counsel, despite all to ordinary families, and it was at this time of day, most of them would be enough to walk and off to school, read to college and so on. Were dealing with a very, its a very particular period. The elite feel free to violate basic laws and ha, and then theyre surprised that there is bitterness among their, the working classes that have lost an incredible gra, i mean, a lot of ground in our society. So its a tough moment. And that following the money brings up a lot of very substantive reasons as to why people are so angry. They dont know exactly. They dont have the knowledge, but they know that something is not right. My own work was concern about asymmetries of information. The fact that some people know things that other people dont. And that gives some people the ability to take advantage of others. And you can make more money, not by making a better product and lowering cost of production, which is the standard economic analysis. But by fishing for fools looking for people you can take advantage of or not creating wealth or actually just taking wealth. If youre somebody like the head of blackstone, ive heard dog on the big advantages of. No regulation of deregulation ah, poor, she wants to be able to exploit the people who are living in his properties. Ah left hand corner. Yeah. My flag was then i say bought my flag. So i own that flat and pay my mortgage. The problem is the price is round here in o 4 in our ground floor. Any, any flat round here is extortionate. Yeah. And they wanted to give us like a little bit of money. I say of you go, but then i left the mover of london. So i decided to stay with friends. Most of the people that lived in that town block are still not been homes. 9 months later, 9 months later i am now in a hostile it, the place that they could offer me could be anywhere in the country. And if i dont accept say i become intentionally homeless anywhere in the country. Well, yeah, i mean it could be birmingham, it could be manchester anywhere. If you can treat people after a tragedy like that, the way theyre treating them now. While health does anyone have lou i was picture myself like im 5 foot to im from this like nowhere place. And im trying to make a huge difference globally. Im trying to change an entire conversation thats embedded in the way people live all around the world. And then i look back at that girl from ottawa, im sitting in her Basement Office and its like, what am i thinking . I am i, i guess its, its ridiculous. Am i being ridiculous . A, it is a totally dysfunctional system. In the late 19 seventys and 19 eighties, theyre developed a ive called an ideology or religion that mark you solve all problems until the big winners will be big loose in the name of a common. Should the winnings be redistributed to the losers to the end . If everybody ends up where he started, it would take on the lot out of the game. The high priest was built friedman. The big experiment was truly underpin oshea. It took their dictator to really implement these ideas. They thought that if we privatized to way regulations, lower taxes, growth would go up, everybody would get more. Some people get a lot more at the top. But putting aside envy, everybody would get a bigger piece of the pie. Ah, it ignored the many instances where markets do not work well. It was so murdered freeman gave them economic argument for why they should be unconcerned about morality. For after a 3rd of a century of this experiment, we know that its wrong that you can make money by destroying the world. And theres something wrong with that. Ah ah, if were going to defend the cities as we know them, i cant do it alone. I decided to create a new movement called the shift so that we can come up with ideas of how to protect our cities. So its not an angle movement. Its not a movement of just cities. Its a movement hopefully of all stakeholders. You know that i dont getting to be launching the ship here in barcelona, where the effects of financial i station have taken hold. And where there is a mayor like attica laugh. I hired a young woman, julie, who had a background in International Human rights, god patent these things, and move them up. One 3rd of dest worldwide are linked to poverty and inadequate housing. Get a World Wide Movement to reclaim and realize the fundamental right to housing. And bring people far thought of the export there. If he knows that i feel either marcelina, if i speak with you on gonna be, be in the latin if he could feel, you know, but i see. And there was gram this got the dallas tacoma waitress and december come in, most i feel that, but as i got maxime was when a fios, i pushed the spic willard columbia and the premium. If you see that look like im, ive been looking at them. Blackstone, the largest private equity firm, they have more power than the state. You know, how are you . Yeah, you know exactly. Youre crying when we have some of these pounds trying to speak you later in the say they want to buy it a building. You buy it for you, but we do it because we have money and its a lot of me because i like that that can be expensive. Im interested to know how the investor is walter funds, the hedge funds, air b and b are reacting to what youre doing. In b is where the men or x you. Normally we thought almost, we added a cbl. Forget not so for a some, some groups acting like authentic my peers read now with you dont get a few women children and to have that moment to where you can talk about your kids and talk about changing the world one, rescue another b like so tiny before we got here, and now if i like the mayor. So the question is a big question. Are you out for it . Now im up. Ok. Ah. The big private equity, it has taken me some time to ask the question, where are they getting their money from . Ah, Pension Funds have a huge amount of money and they need to grow in order to make sure that the people who pay into the pension fund has something to live on their working life. I mission to so korea was grand. Well, before i had this one piece of information, but some of the largest Pension Funds are right here at the National Pension service, is the 3rd Largest Pension Fund in the world. It was one of the poorest countries. And now in the 11th largest economy in the world, in 50 years, thats pretty impressive. But of course, to make that happen in a 50 year period required a kind of brutal ism of massive development. You have to go with a lot of people dont know how to go to you dont pay you thought you, i always will. You will order here is a will close. It is i thought we won. You you you got hold on. Do you, do you project control tell you little home or to go good. Love on it. Could you put your video camera . But we all dont, will lose mobile device for 3 weeks out a lot from your door. Little the pedal tug will go in to that. Im repetitive. Oh no one seems to know that thats where their pension money is going. No one seems to really care. I did speak with a couple of representatives from the National Pension service and they were pretty matter of fact at 1st about you know what they had, what their job is and i get it. Their job is to grow money for pensioners. We give our money to asset managers, and they then decides, or where it gets, and best dead ended, so distancing themselves from it. So in other words, it doesnt really matter where the pension moneys going, as long as its a good return. National and city governments in south korea need to make some major shifts before they will be in full compliance with their human rights obligations. You know, human rights law is very specific about those types of projects, forced eviction under International Human rights is considered a growth, violation of human rights. People die enforced evictions. And peoples lives are basically ruined. So its not to be taken lightly. Ah, poor issues, you know, Climate Change housing, they ought to be bedded into the fiduciary frameworks of friendship funds.
