it is now a part of the american way of life. the mandate of the government is given to masses prevent discrimination but to actually affirmatively go out and say how do we do. it 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 but in 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. you know you can have federal policy but it's the local administration of these policies that

often the black people receive discriminatory treatment hello my name is. hello my name is graham wellington and i'm calling about the apartment around on park street. so what does this mean it means the places that were segregated in the thirty's forty's and they're still racially segregated today because we haven't done anything to undo the racial segregation. the town today is over 95 percent white very few minority families living there. then fix the damage that was done we just allowed all those inequalities to continue but said from this day forward we can't discriminate. it didn't fix it all of these policies and practices these systems. federal government state government local government passes. verge 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. they still call it the white house but that's a temporary thing there's a lot of the city. we've got we've got some i don't need to get you know a. working on. you to get on. the review to. be. interesting to tell you. there is no clue gram a promise that a president can bake i think that better the government going to come in the illegal one to do this yes. listening to. the

condition of black veterans and white veterans diverged even though when they returned from the war they were economically similar families. public housing then became a black phenomenon. people who fall into this category they have to live where society is pushed it. is. not. any nation. going down and people constantly moving the cost of. cities to adequately service neighborhoods that were heavily concentrated with african-americans garbage collection wasn't picked up as frequently streets were 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

say take a look at it if you want to reject that boy but i certainly would it would hate to think that anybody thought i said it would given up hope what i'm really saying is the society has found the hope of the people who live here and struggle here that's what i'm really saying they're going to go on struggling anyway whether we fail or succeed. but the same time you have concentration you also have clearance you have how a construction which is destroying black communities i was oftentimes in urban areas a built dead in the middle of black communities so there's a sort of rising anger frustration that sense plays. well once they became slums authorities looked at them and said well we need to do some slum clearance.

where all those black people and all those bogey is where they gone. nothing without unity it takes 10 years to really really just they know what to do in a systematic genocide. systematic as well as 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 makes 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. we grew up in philadelphia actually originally and we were in an all black neighborhood in 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 really moving here will affect the community as a whole. definitely import way i think that well the property values well i mean to go down if they are allowed to move in here and any number do you think them are 11 property. i don't think. property. and i think a purely white. rapper. 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. here in segregated communities that have been completely abandoned. and spending we see them only when they burn something.

condition. even one of many. that it is. good to see. the lead. if we had not been willing to debate this we must be able 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 clues become

visible to most americans. seem wrong. to shape out. and in. the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. max kaiser this is the kaiser report with stacy herbert an special year end guest misfires guy. who i must say is the kind of

sensitivity to world events and markets we're really seeing anywhere except here on kaiser for mit welcome back. this is nothing like football. it's not a money spinner but it is expensive. mended troops . this is only speed with. no brakes it's a. trip that cuts some people. i

don't know anything. we're going to be able to i think. there is no new procedure you can go to when even to join your mental plot and it's. going to get people. like my little sister was just a platter a mental image and you want to hear it. from your own internal. nubile the only people. 1956 when i came out here with farms i was 5 years old when i came here in 1400 from the south bronx my father foresaw the future in that area. and we did very outstanding career with the police department and they took him out of the south

bronx for the benefit of the community 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 got to stick i mean there was and you didn't you didn't disobey protest when you want. to protest but you see guys. putting holes in hoses can't put out fires and that used 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 well yes but nothing you have a good out of when you 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. first feel and i'm going to do many more like this for millions of dollars. 7 deals in 30 days. with the 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 more. seriously try to be a little less crazy.

he has a. regional plan from the university of minnesota. please give that. thank you. thank you. a little bit about our organization strong towns are 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. long 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 real people in

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. but.

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 or 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 along if you could do whatever you want i just thought it was an exceedingly irresponsible. loan product. i took advantage of me. 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 with a perfect credential zydeco. i honestly couldn't tell you may i help you sir i. 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 a 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 history credit we don't have it if we can't pay cash we do without. what 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 4 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 theory 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 the expected 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 or 3 bedrooms depending 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 already so close here. as you can. be enclosed here. you might enter. hall. so i have a. better hallway know where all the entrances are to the better ones 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. there was an extension of the dynamic coming out of postwar idea of what the house provided

wasn't really about the upscaling or the supersizing of the house in so that relationship between the growth. of the physical house was still somehow in balance subsequently people began to make the scale shift where the houses became just warraich. i'm in love with this. hope in a fight because. i don't think it is. a 5000 square feet on one staircase i'm going to visit that staircase. and healing is very attractive.

to see that. it's really more suited for grandma she doesn't really want to have a deep. think it 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. 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.

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. much. so this. industry of easy quick money for property did not end at the retail borrower. 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. 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 farming. cities are seeing their tax base. literally overnight. and the development stops.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water they escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of
