the government's given to nurses prevent discrimination but to actually affirmatively go out and say how do we disaggregate america so the government betrays that. i find as i travel across the country that. whether we're talking about white americans or people who maybe grow better and 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 have federal policy but it's the local administration of these policies that off them in the black people receive discriminatory treatment hello my name is out on washington on call about the of a part of it. yes hello my name is graham wellington and i'm calling about the apartment around on park street is that still available. but it is really so what

does this mean it means the places that were segregated in the thirty's forty's and fifty's they're still racially segregated today because we haven't 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 can't discriminate sell it and fix it all of these policies and practices these systems. federal government state government local government pass and then they converge to sort of create concentrated poverty by the time we reach the fifty's and sixty's 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 sadness. they still call it the white

house but that's a temporary thing. there's a lot of the city. we've got to get some i don't need to get it. working and it. will be. interesting to tell you. the ways you know gram a promise that a president can bake i think the federal government's going to. do that yes. that is. the condition of black veterans of white veterans diversion even though when they return from the war they were economically similar families. public housing then became a black phenomenon. people fall into this category. where.

it. is. not. any nation. going down and. cities didn't adequately service neighborhoods that were heavily concentrated with african-americans garbage collection wasn't picked up as frequently the streets weren't repair those well the conditions deteriorated and the urban areas became slums. you know i would like to rub america's nose in this is a gigolo got it you want to reject it. but i certainly would it would hate to think that anybody thought i said they were giving up hope what i'm really saying is the society as a whole people who live you know a struggle you know that's what i'm really saying they're going to go on struggling anyway. whether we fail or succeed. at the same time you have concentration

you also have clearance you have how a construction which is destroying black communities how is often time in urban areas a build dead in the middle of black communities so there's a sort of rising anger frustration that takes place. but once it became slums sardi's 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 at messing with our unity it takes 10 years to really reaches out they know what to do in the system at. systematic.

well those african-american families who were displaced had to move somewhere so those families were given section 8 housing vouchers the idea behind section 8 is fabulous it's 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 doesn't 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 that's 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 don't undermine the value of our own and we're concerned we're going to get a move out before it becomes common knowledge that there's a family in the area. it's nothing personal oh oh it never really is it was terse

you know 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 the police had to come in with us because people were throwing things at our house and terrorizing our house at night. and 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 we're going to be. do you think. being here will affect the community as a whole. in what way i think that the property values go down if they are allowed to move in here in any numbers do you think them are they.

i don't think that. property. and i think a purely white. rap. well as a result of all these policies we created a segregated system and because we've forgotten now this entire history of how it happened white families believe that they got where they are simply by their own hard work and determination to succeed in the middle class life. but they don't 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 it's not saying that their families didn't work hard but it is saying that their families benefit from a great deal of affirmative action to get where they are. white americans don't see

what it's 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 spending we see them only when they burn something. people. like condition that they want to. even want but many.

it is. we have not. we must be if we're to do something about the dangers that face us no . it shouldn't be that hard to understand why that becomes kind of the ultimate outcry because it's the only way that these committees become visible to most americans.

shifting alliances washington's unrelenting policy assault against russia and china is already altered the world order what remains to be seen is how most going to be genial together to confront a hostile also will america ever be normal again. you know what i mean maybe at their school i don't think about it i don't mean a grown man not new dorp or. i kind of but i wonder. if he now i think it's higher than our. members to africa mafias always them safe and quick to europe but once they. leave they count speech. will not last some of them may be a mom and i couldn't you know if this unit were going to go to him.

they sold the. lead. core of the. phone all. right. i don't want to think. we're going to be book i don't know. where it is not on here

but you're getting what are you going to do that you're going to put out it's. going to get people. who are my little sort of one just a platter of middle name and you want to hear and read 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 now 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

you've got to stick i mean there was and you didn't you didn't disobey protest when you want. your right to protest but you see guys. putting holes in hoses showing can't put out fires and that's just to businesses but to people. you have a right to protest but you don't have a right to do that. are you sick and tired of looking hop or yes but nothing you have a way to out to achieve financial freedom it's pretty easy to do if you chose. it's so easy to make money then stay and then claim to be a medium that by age 25. years and i'm going to do many more like this for millions of dollars. 7 deals in 30 days it. would be

you can do it to me when you waiting for your math one that is going right over here. now's the time to buy a home now is the time to buy. it at your feet. oh. good for mom. if you could for. 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. term liability kind of hanging out there in the future and the last generation the one that's 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.

in the united states was a real estate so i was determined. it was so much fun 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. there's 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 bills

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. wasn't a home improvement it was a signature long and you could do whatever you want i just thought it was an exceedingly irresponsible. loan 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. let's 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 couldn't tell you may i help you sir. 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 don't have in it we can't pay cash we do without. but you say. you could run 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 that's in the 3 better one and a half bath house he's got to move up to the floor better to bath house. to house

the car just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and it's just all on fake valuations. yeah at that point the home did absolutely become a vehicle for excess home prices rising from the case shiller index i look at the boundary and i say yes this looks good it's 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 maybe i'm a fool the buys it's a big house but i'm 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. don't expect to gain by expecting 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 . it's 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

a bed very. close here. as you're going to be enclosed here. you might enter. hall. so i have a. better hallway know where all the entrances are to the bed rooms so it could be a one bedroom or 3 bedroom right now we create that one bedroom here and there really 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 post-war idea of what the house provided wasn't 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 words. i'm in love with this. hope in a fight because. i don't think it is. something a 5000 square feet on one staircase they're going to fizzle out their kids. feel like it's very attractive. to see that. it's really more suited for grandma she doesn't want to have a deep. thing means 12 foot ceilings on a mcmansion they're going the way that. people want to buy what they need and they

don't 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 it's going to be tougher and tougher. on. there's just tremendous economic dependence on this idea that we can keep building new homes on their own lots and that they have to keep marching across the landscape because it's 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 we're going to. our garden over here and a chicken coop over there gigi's

a grand champion. not so much dolce. so this whole industry of easy quick money for property did not end at the retail borrower. in 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 anything and that's where you see all of the citrus farms in the inland empire gone. in of course the cities were loving it because the tax basis on real property with a house on it is far higher than firmly. the cities are seeing their tax

base quintuple literally overnight. the developments stops. go in and you may never get out of. my teenage gang rules here because i don't want to. be my.

name you will. kill. her. for the. melanie when. the monkey. can use all i see.

this is what happens to pensions in britain. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. looking at the risk because you know no rush cross the upper stuff just to be nice to going things your way. back

home black american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. of the real lybia losing show won by elsa store on the by doing. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all and some of the american rear troops who were there to prove you're in the know if you found great crowd. lulay is only a few you're going to go you. know almost a 100 years later if history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. probably the worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here.
