really just reimbursing the watch now the kicking us allows they're kicking out the whole community. i've been here for 50 years here in mexico city value and by dollar goes way for other things and they range air b and b, 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 stealing my space. i could be a part of the problem, 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 does existed there for, for decades. people are going to be upset and they are upset. we're here and dressing the housing base, you know, in squamish nationwide, and we're back it's way too big way to talk a way to dance. you don't like it move on. missed an event, going to throw me out because of digital know minutes 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 housing is also a big business, and that means big conflicts the, the,

the the where that started this good afternoon. okay. okay. one bedroom. come a spanish. hello. is this please? 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 full a 1000 pesos government this to 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 the pandemic ended, we were invited by digital no matter what she found this property. and it started sending off everything and i had to call myself a typical digital. now that's 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 $63.00 people come to 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. i wish the places i would consider

to have is 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 neighborhoods which is a pretty red thing from mexico city. i'm physical fitness. yeah. luckily with the neighborhood used to belong to us. i mean, now we're at the mercy of the digital. no man, the see, keep those. oh, i'm that you know mass life aroma. that's an easy place to walk around. there's so many kind of face to go to. i want to get worked on. it's an easy place to live, especially if it does show no man. see what's going to zip. i mean nothing. i've looked for other apartments, but there is nothing i can afford here. let's go to something procedure is the price is sky high or the most mexico officially considers housing a human right. so why can't money pause 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. and landlords know they can make more money with short term rentals to people like casey, then renting to locals. the deadline i via p i moved in here 20 years ago. that was for me, my home is, i mean my refuge is mason's way. it is been the center of my family life. maybe that's where i raised my son of the things where i've had times of happiness on the also have plenty of sadness, some problems to at least they says, which prelim us. but even so it's my spite. you guys, can my refuge is missed,

the bus to has me someplace is on your area. label the landlord was a kind man, but he died. he 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. so in the sunday, i'm not in this neighborhood of cooling on the other area, so it's one of those. yeah. and the 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, salt lake, 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 1990s 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 rank as one of the world's most a 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 there with the villages filled with long houses. uh can use that. went for blocks on the beach, you would come across or people 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 it 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 the way you're identity. where do you belong? and someone tells you, you don't belong here anymore. i would almost compare it 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 open 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. and 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 then they will look there's a home is the most important thing you can have is picking up with in the roof of your head and to sleep. you take shelter in the gate 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 love be additional know that you get to interact with people, learn a new culture. i will eat anything, i always 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 we got already got t nice nice. i never traveled outside mexico, the suburban anyways, so nothing is due to the as an acted as to defend the tenants. right. so that we didn't the, the see the 3 and without his help, i don't know how i would have managed to them. they've been in the body of this kind of thank you. there's how you those camino. so those are 2 ways this could go guess. well, there's probably one would be that you manage to negotiate getting your lease renewed instead of in a while. but now that i feel like typically that the other is the one you have to

watch out for a visit, they might send thoughts, they should think people to evict you by force and going and like they advocate in this. i've got a lot for us. what made this as a fight today with french, from the landlord, but never going to use von and to throw us out. unions here. so the body o told me, well, don't worry, there's nothing so you're not leaving. you stay, nothing was a sunday. let me show you the price i was to and i hope the sick come. i asked, i didn't tell them. i put them 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 because i'm trying to be bright. ok, i have to go to quotes in a few days of this is cindy, me 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 removed but you also see the looks of hope, the hope for the future because there's plans in place. the sonata is the biggest 1st nation land development of canadian history. it will have $6000.00 plus units, housing over $9000.00 people. $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 in what is now the middle of vancouver 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 developers. prime minister justin true del, 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. it's still good to see the craze. hey,

holy. 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, in the city of vancouver in our own village. vancouver definitely needs more housing. but we don't need more expensive luxury high rise towers in think coover. there are lots, we need cooperators, 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 miss gross. i things will be on the street. eagle and i'll go to a hotel, sign old sites, home, even those costs money. so the street is like, got you. here's the new present mexico city. as someone who's been traveling for so

long, find communities like the thing a year. and for the most one reason i do like mexico city is i do have quite a few additional know that you guys are traveling back in 2015. that was just like, how do you for do this, how the count can you do this? my answer was always traveling is way cheaper than my rent in new york city. the us 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. my goal was just to make a lot of money. my network as well as this level of over achievers, 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 established, 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 you know, i threw out the last bag of trash today and i have us for the night the lease ran out and everyone in the building had to leave from this. you see what the real conservative is, the thing that 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 go back and start over again. i know 20 anymore, but i'm going to fight till the end to the end of 15 this. and i'm not sure there ever was a point where i realized 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 is 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, and we familia we'd get together to celebrate christmas and new years. and i'd be as cool, you know, 3 kings day k together for this me, i'm alone. nothing with the idea of anybody. nice. my neighbors didn't come

together to fight it because they cowards. mostly, you know, i'm not accounted 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, to their teaming up with 2 other indigenous groups and of the canadian government. the plan is to build apartments for $28000.00 people. the tall us 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 is 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 were 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 squared, 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, and we're never in a place to tell them what to do, where the underdog we're, we're david versus goliath. 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 it

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 would house i. i really feel strongly, my wife feels strongly that people have to stand up and say, this is too much. were still alive and well still have housing still have housing i still put it in the middle of the jericho plan. so that's about the 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 picket sign. me diligently. okay. yeah, i can do it. i will do it. hearing stories about people who are be 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 associates i certainly like and ever since the situation with the house started constantly. so you have like though they go to bed very like money for in the morning. eastern tossing ton is thinking, what am i going to do? give will yes, is going to happen today. give a pass. i really love the horrible depression. anxiety that i wouldn't wish on anyone getting to say that it's showing that in it is been that the house has ear as mine, eyes dingle scan. me of the, i'm terrified if i might have them to put up as a right is going up to get to know mass have effect 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 policy on affordable money,

but isn't it the casey who's dentist? you know, it may come into games. maybe seen them. i heard you, my neighbor in roma could be and says the what do you think of the neighborhood? that is and how you guys are inviting and kicking us out those like. but some people like me as one of the old people. you're just drawing our lives this to getting the we just wanted to spend the last days here in peace of pay almost plus i've been to instead with suffering less because of years when the booklet goes to this. i see that your, your love for your home are you living? i see i see or your team you see is my pain, but who's going to help me? i'm alone at this age. i'm not her age anymore. that's a if i well,

i wouldn't worry. but what am i going to do on my own? so just sort of i've been crying for it 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. we'll 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 okay with that goes to the issue, i don't sure. see izzy. absolutely. say, let's see. let's do this. the
