The housing crisis of 2008 left Many Properties in our region empty and squatters are taking advantage of it. Just yesterday authorities raided a Million Dollar home in Prince Georges County after a robbery suspect in nine other people were found squatting in a foreclosed home. That same Fort Washington house was raided last summer when police found a suspect in the d. C. Shooting living there with a dozen others. Neighbors told us police need to squatting is a growing problem in Prince Georges County. Troy johnson is here in the studio with todays talk around town. The squatting issue is just a reminder of how people are still struggling with this housing recession years ago. Absolutely, the struggle continues as some people would say. This is a perfect example of the story we just heard. If youre going to take the opportunity to try to squat in a home obviously outside of the fact that thats a criminal situation, it really lends to the fact that a lot of people are not recovering in this socalled recovery that weve had. Its still very tough. This is a situation it might be easy for some to be squatters because a lot of the homes are unoccupieds a time of year when a lot of people arent at home shopping. So it just cretes a perfect opportunit. There are studies that show the housing crisis has had a profound impact on minority communities. And having these homes open drags down the property value. It attracts vandals and situations like that. Some listeners are telling me that the wealth was zapped in the community as well. 1 in 7 africanamericans net worth was depleted in 2013 according to the Federal Reserve survey of consumer finances. Homes lost more value in the economic meltdown and didnt gain a lot of value. The network of the typical africanamerican family declined by onethird between 2010 and 2013. The typical family was left with about 8 cents for every dollar of wealth thats held by whites. That information report eded by the washington post. Some v yn tell when youre dealing with these situations with what is tied to peoples wealth, their home. Just yesterday when we reported s p agreed to pay a hefty settlement for their role in the housing meltdown, your listeners weighed in too. They are not feeling the they are not feeling like thats making much of an impact on their lives. Were talking about a 1. 4 billion fine by the Justice Department but listeners want to see more action specifically from their county government. What are we gonna do to help the people that are really working class people that have paved the way and have worked hard all their lives to stay in their house. What are we going to do for those people instead of turning them away saying that you dont make enough money regardless of the hardship. That person as you see s is a process server. Hes been coming face to face with people that are dealing with losing their homes. Thats part of his job every day. Its obviously a situation that many people may not be aware of. Its still ongoing.
