so i asked a little surprised. hi, i'm shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to you. have you have a one to start doing either from port yet please go to the spot. on the on expected side to side. the they kicking us so loud. they're kicking out the whole community. i've been here for 50 years. here in mexico city. the value of my dollar does wait for other things and they rent air b and b. it's not they pay in dollars and then euro i can't go back to new york because i honestly, i can't afford to live there now. myspace dealing my space. i could be

a part of the problems, but i don't, i don't really know. we're breaking history here in canada of the largest 1st nation, land development and canadian history. when you build giant towers next to very small housing that's existed there for, for decades, people are going to be upset and they are upset. we're here from dressing the housing base, you know, in squamish nation land, and we're back it's way too big way to talk a way to dance. you don't like it. we want mr. no big going to throw me out because of digital. no, man, it's like you just leave mexico leave. who gets to decide what happens to our neighborhood? and to us, we all need a roof over our heads. but the housing is also a big business and that means big conflict. the,

the the where that started let's good afternoon. okay. okay. one bedroom. come a sinus long. this play fine. sorry to bother you. i see you've got an apartment for rent. uh that is pretty much the thing so much. wow. wow. 60000 pesos. uh, years ago i was paying 4000 pesos government

this the, my rent is now 7500 pesos, a see? but if i wanted to rent another apartment like the one i have now, it would be $4550000.00 plus, at least as minimal ink one as soon as depend, demik ended. we were invited by digital no matter what size. and she found this property, i mean it started selling off everything and i had to call myself a typical digital know that because i'm able to work from anywhere. my name is casey irvin. i work as a traveled lager. my company is called fall the fro tours. for example, i went to an article last year and i had 63 people come with me. i like connecting with others. i think that's the thing that drives me to keep travelling. when i am travelling, my phone is kind of attached to me at all times. i any moment could be an opportunity to create some content. i'm staying in a role by gab,

which is one of my favorite parts of the city. there's the places i would consider to have as a home base and mexico city is one of those places i would consider. i don't feel like i outside or i do feel comfortable here and i feel welcomed people in the near home. i live in roma. oh, it's a very quiet, very safe neighborhood. it's which is a pretty red thing for mexico city. i'm facebook business. yeah. luckily, with the neighborhoods used to belong to us. i mean, now we're at the mercy of the digital. no man, the keep those a lot of that you know, math like roma, that's a easy place to walk around. there's so many cafe used to go to. i want to get work done. it's a easy place to live, especially is additional. no man. see, it was go to zip, i mean nothing will have looked for other apartments, but there is nothing i can afford here. let's go. so something serious does that price is sky high, lowest mexico officially considers housing

a human right. so why can't money pas afford to live in her own neighborhood? mexico city like most cities around the world is not building housing fast enough for its growing population. the competition for living space is fierce, especially in trendy neighborhoods like it on the landlords know they can make more money with short term rentals to people like casey, then renting to locals. the deadline, i'd be a key i moved in here 20 years ago. it was, for me, my home is, i mean my refuge is mason's why this is been the center of my family life. maybe that's where i raised my son and don't get anywhere. i've had times of happiness some the also have plenty of

sadness, some problems to at least they says, look, to put a mess. but even so it's my spice in my refuge as me is passed through as me someplace is on your area. landlord was a kind man, but he died a so see close to being in the see mccain. his son was okay with you telling me they wouldn't be renewing my lease and that everyone had to live they going to turn everything into a, b and b's. all my neighbors got some good and started looking for places on sunday . i'm not in this neighborhood of cooling on the in other areas. so it's one of those young listeners space left for us the little bit. but the,

if we weren't homeowners today, you know, our past would be completely different. we rented one bedroom before we had children, felt like 85 percent of our income went to rent. i loved my neighborhood, i loved my city. i live in pennsylvania in vancouver and i am very, very fortunate to have uh, purchased uh, an apartment back in the 19 ninety's when it was still slightly affordable. and we had some help from my parents and we just put our minds to paying off the mortgage . we have a very lovely property and its gone up astronomically and value to the house was basically gifted from my father's best friend who had passed away. it opened many doors for us. we've got extreme competition for any housing, but particularly for affordable housing. and it's only getting worse over the last 30 years. is this the most expensive city in canada because we

really are faced with some real restrictions. we have the american border to ourselves. we have mountains to the north, we have the ocean to the west, and then we have a long valley to the east. so that's the only place people can really expand. or you can concentrate and you can also build up know where to go. but up vancouver's population is growing and the city needs more apartments. but there's hardly any way to put them when vancouver was built, single family homes like these were the norm. now these houses take up huge parts of the city and only the wealthy can afford them. vancouver has been ranked as one of the world's most of livable cities. but livable for home. vancouver is an housing crisis. lot of people wanna live in vancouver,

but you basically have to be a millionaire to live here. my name's wilson williams. swift in this man says file name and elected counselor for the squamish nation. if you were to venture on an airplane 2000 years ago, you would see just green and forest. they would be villages filled with long houses. uh can use that, went for blocks on the beach. you would come across are people good. we have a sad history of the way that indigenous people were dealt with by settlers in the early parts of a 1st contact of centuries ago. you know, we can't go backwards and play differently for us to be forced out over lands. it's still very wrong. you know, it's just over a 100 years ago, it kinda takes a way your identity. where do you belong and someone tells you don't belong here

anymore. i would almost compared to our homelessness today, where people just have know where to go. and you know, they land and these statistics where there's 30 percent of people incarcerated or indigenous the, our nation needs money. this is what we need to survive. we just opened transitional housing in our community, which serves those who are coming in and out of incarceration. those with mental health issues you know, homeless and addictions, jarvis, alcohol, whatever, it may be, even prescription drugs and whatnot. yeah. but the safe place for them to be in for us to check on them. one of my distant cousins never had a place to call home since her childhood. this is a lady who has been displaced in couch surfing for 18 years. that's the nice uh for

my head and. yeah, super, super happy. yeah. a lot of us are struggling. i think, i mean, i imagine a place for people not struggling in poverty. the that there's a home is the most important thing you can have is picking up with in the roots of your head and to sleep. you take shelter in the kid before she has. so what is home? it's a hard question for me to necessarily answer. since i've been nomadic for 8 years. i loved be additional. no mad. you get to interact with people, let her new culture. i will eat anything. oh, at least try everything at least once. nobody probably makes the world a better place just because it makes you more open minded. if you have the

opportunity to do it, it's great to see the godaddy. god t nice like i never traveled outside of mexico the super by the way. so nothing is due to the as an app to those 2 defense tenants. right. so that between the the see the 3 and without his help. i don't know how i would have managed to them if they knew the value. thank you. of the size of those camino. so those are 2 ways this could go guess. well, there is probably one would be that you manage to negotiate getting your lease

renewed. and so i don't know why the point that now that i feel like typically that the other is the one you have to watch out for me, is that they might send stocks. they should think people to evict you by force and going like they advocate in this. i've got a lot for us. what made this as a fight today with french from the landlord? never going to, he's gone and to throw us out. unions. yeah. so put a body o told me, well, don't worry, there's nothing so you're not leaving. you stay not there was a sunday. let me show you the price. i was told, i hope the sick on my ass. i didn't tell them i put up cameras on this that's i've seen just to in this they want to intimidate me and give me that. you'll know that the, as i'm trying to be bright, and you don't just have to go to quotes in a few days. of this is sending the seal the starting of trial to evict me.

that is helpful. this should have never happened. we've never should have been kicked out of our own territories. our own village to knock was burned down. this was one of the last villages and vancouver we were expropriated from and probably the most hurtful indigenous people, our nation. we were an inconvenience, our natural way of being and living in surviving off the line was in the way of the future. according to the government, so we were moved for you also see the looks of hope the hope for the future because there's plans in place. so knock is the biggest 1st nation land development of canadian history. it will have $6000.00 plus units, housing over $9000.00 people. the $250.00 of those units will be for squamish nation members. my heart grew to size as knowing that we're back in our territory. i think

a lot of people in vancouver, when they see the size and scale of this are going to be shocked and, and not happy about it. even if people are upset, the squamish can legally build what ever they want here and what is now the middle of an coover because the knock is their reserve land. the canadian government took it away in 1913, but the squamish won it back in court in 2001. and they've got a 1000000000 dollar government loan to build the towers with help from a luxury real estate developer prime minister justin true, joe called the project reconciliation in action. reconciliation is not simply putting up mass of towers and making a lot of money. that's what developers do all around the world. our people have been here for almost 2500 years now. we're revitalizing that history. but at the same time creating that economic wealth. it's built on 1st nations reserve land,

so the city doesn't have any control over the regulations. don't apply the height limitations. i feel good to see the craze. hey, polio. even though people are going to be used of it around here, you know, it's the new way of the future, right. it's no longer being out of sight out of mind in the city of vancouver, in our own village. thanks over. definitely needs more housing. but we don't need more expensive luxury, high rise towers and think hoover, there are lots we need co operatives, we need other types of housing. ultimately, i think governments are going to have to provide housing for middle income people for this city to continue to work in function. otherwise we're doomed. by the way, i'm not going to go mis cause i things will be on the street. an eagle and i'll go to a hotel and old folks home,

even those costs money. so the street it is look at you. here's the new friends of mexico city. as someone who has been travelling for so long fired communities like this thing a year, and for the most one reason i do like mexico city is they do have quite a few additional know that i start traveling back and tell the 15 that was just like how do you for do this, how that, how can you do this? my answer was always traveling is way cheaper than my rent in new york city. the u . s. is very hard to live in, in any single city. our rent is going up to like, we can't live in our own country because of an affordable getting paid. the salaries were getting paid in our own currency. that's insane. my life before traveling was quite different and my goal was just to make a lot of money. my network as well as this level of overachievers finance, people living in new york city, living their best life. when i left new york,

i gave my furniture to some friends like, hey, you guys can hold onto this for a year. i have no idea of that. furniture is now the whole service. you know, they'll be these to me. they say that is my neighbor. well, he was if he lives in the building next door or gateway throughout the last bag of trash today for the night the lease ran out and everyone in the building had to leave some of these 2 or 3 of them cuz i do it them. and it was kind of gentrification throwing people out and turning apartments into air b and b's. it's a big business. yeah. so i can't go back and start over again. i know 20 anymore, but i'm going to fight till the end to the end of 15 to and i'm not sure there ever was

a point where i realize i wasn't going to do one year. my travels kept extending by accident and somehow it's end up being 8 years. and what i realize is the best plan has no plan. i just learned how to live on a budget and seasonal work. but i was living probably offer $10000.00 a year for about 5 years now my budget, i probably spend closer to around $30000.00 a year. i'm pretty sure my friends in new york are working a lot more than i of the me is this. he knows when my name is still here. we would like a family. yeah. and we, i mean, yes, we'd get together to celebrate christmas and new year's v as pulido 3 kings de k

together. so they just put me on the line. nothing was done of anybody nice. my neighbors didn't come together to fight it because they cowards. mostly, you know, i'm not account the this is a battle for the soul of vancouver, really what's going on. and it's not a battle between indigenous people and other nationalities. it's a battle between developers who put prophets ahead of everything else and ordinary people who want to see affordable, practical housing that, that works for people for us, looking at it through, you know, an indigenous lens. we are putting ourselves in a position of strength, the squamish want to build even more towers here on this former military base called the jericho lance, located on traditional 1st nations territory of their teaming up with 2 other indigenous groups and of the canadian government. the plan is to build apartments

for $28000.00 people. the tallest 3 towers would be almost 50 stories. this is really just pure irony helpless shape. the future, the jericho and neighbors said this is too dense. this is too high. too many people . it's too tall and what happens? it comes back with more units, higher density, higher heights, that's shaping the future. jericho is going to be a huge staple for the future. we're changing the evolution of our people. we're changing lives. there's going to be subsidized rental units for our people. there's going to be a vibrant community where we can live, work, and play all in the same area. a lot of people live in vancouver because it has this natural balance of park and green space, and ocean and mountain and sky and everything else. and all of a sudden it's like no, you don't have a choice. this is going to become one of the densest areas in the world. and there's 349 story towers. and there's 60 high rises, 13000 units,

28000 people. well, when you build 49 story towers in this city, you're mostly likely to sell to for an investors. i mean, that's just the reality. certainly you're going to be signed a very rich people. i'm just worried they're going to knock down all the affordable housing and build up a lot of towers that aren't affordable as i knew is going to be big. i didn't know is going to be 49 stories big. so like as a young person, housing this place must be insane. yeah, it's almost that was good. yeah. so it looks like our neighborhood is going to be completely transformed in a very negative way. we listen as, as good neighbors, but you know that we're never in a place to tell them what to do. we're the under diag we're, we're david versus the lie. if you're not the other way around. also we've proposed alternatives. we worked with architects, planners, people who are very much involved in developing themselves to develop an alternative proposal, which is all low rise bills, part of

a group called the jericho coalition. here's what they say. the indigenous developers should build here. all 4 to 8 stories. know towers, they call a human scale housing, and they say it's more environmentally friendly. their proposal has apartments for 16000 people. that's about half the number, the current plan, what house i, i really feel strongly. my wife feels strongly that people have to stand up and say, this is too much. we're still alive and well still have housing still have housing i still put it in the middle of the jericho plan. so that's what size of the tower . i will be out picketing every day if this truly goes ahead, i will be out every day on 4th avenue with my pickets sign me diligently. ok. yeah, i can do it. i will do it. hearing stories about people who are being pushed out

of their living situations. so it might be like hard to relate because i've never been in that situation before myself. this it can be so the associate doesn't look like ever since the situation with the house started constantly to him with 30 i go to bed. very like money for in the morning is places tossing what time is thinking, what am i going to do? give? well, yes, it's going to happen today. give a pass. i really love the horrible depression. anxiety that i wouldn't wish on anyone can also assume that you it is been that the houses dear of mine, eyes dingle scan me a little. i'm terrified if i might have been split up as the rent is going up to get on. no mess have us back on this. i definitely think we do, but i also think it's a global phenomenon that's happening around the world. i don't want to be

a part of the problem of making housing and affordable money, but isn't it? hello. can you see who is this tv? what? oh no. it may go into games. maybe seen them. i heard you, my neighbor in rome, my computer says the what do you think of the neighborhood? that is how you guys are inviting and kicking us out those like. but some people like me as one of the old people. you destroying our lives. this to get into that we just wanted to spend the last days here in peace to stay on the bus. i've been to instead with suffering, listen because of years between the book with both of us. i see that your, your love for your home are you living? i see i see your, your teen vc is my pain, but who's going to help me?

i'm alone at this age. i'm not her age anymore. so yeah. if i, well, i wouldn't worry. but what am i going to do on my own? so just so that i've been crying for and as high as you do. is there anything that is there a message that i can share to? um my calendar parts buttons leave mexico. please leave the we don't know how the world's going to be 1050 a 100 years from now. we need to plan. we need to look at what it's going to take for our people to continue to survive beyond natural disasters. beyond further in positions of our people, we gotta prepare for that will stand tall and proud back in our own territories for

many, many years. the neighborhood should be allowed to have significant input in what happens in their community. we're trying to find a place where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and that's not what we're feeling about this proposal. indigenous people have been displaced and we need reconciliation. we need to try and fix generations of problems, but it doesn't simply come from profits. the one question if you're open to sharing your contact, i would also like to share some of your story with my audience. if you're ok

with that goes to the issue. i don't sure. see, this is the best we can see. let's do this of the the, the creative innovation by russian artists and intellectuals in the 1920 abstract painters

shock the otwell prices reorganized the cultural. so a 100 years later, russian artists are flocking to them. and again, how is the insurance today out? i'm based in 30 minutes on d, w, the living chinese dw pod. com. how to make greener choices in your everyday lives. but honestly try to be the working 32 hours a week to be better for the environment than 40. but of course, we shouldn't be 90, be the living scientists just had subscribe. whatever you listen to about cost the
