11:38 pm
. and so understanding that and how the american home was the basis of how we organize the economy and how we organize social stability is an important part of understanding why we are where we are now. i don't. you know thank you you could be. many years ago. i. was. born here many years ago and they used to be. around here someplace you know when.
11:39 pm
i was converted. that used to be a tiny tiny. let me just check up a little bit. my mother punched him on my knee. when i was 6 months old we moved from little italy in manhattan. there was a housing project in one night my uncle frank was already as wife and. came down to. the baths and gulch. and they walked past us and my uncle frank said to my father get this kid get him out of this neighborhood. and it was not that long after that that we.

11:42 pm
a man named bill levitt was this wind up mass produce the elements that go to make up all the auto industry does what the parts that go into a new car. when i was living there it was at a very particular moment and that was coming out of post-war trajectory and that created the need for that type of housing. returning to that you can house for as little as $300.00 down and that $99.00 a night and that was partly because the federal government was insuring your market . you had the g.i. bill in thirds in construction of new homes so the whole idea is your government wants you to have a home so this was an easy way to sort of jumpstart the housing industry and make homeownership possible without those subsidies lower middle class families would

11:44 pm
not everything had to be don't want if you go back to william levitt he said no man who owns his own home and lot can be a communist because he has too much to do. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a home right i mean after work there are 30 or jobs that go along with it that match the 30 year mortgage and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy
11:45 pm
be certain to. price at the. close of dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that. the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might because they want to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
11:46 pm
then the report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history was that's said the kitchenette mates are less famous now mass and the history of post war has seen. as say sickly nixon saying to chris shove that the strength of the american economy is the postwar home and the ability of americans to purchase consumer durables to fell it oh let's compete not even a system that will give the people more good will be the better system and this one particular moment nixon was right. this was the strength and the american economy. i can remember even as
11:47 pm
a kid looking at house magazines and seeing these incredible visions of the future that house represented in those pages was something that you could aspire to and that was starting to become a reality. wonder what it would be to come out by. coming up with. a few. of $99.00 to. be virtually my plans for my. 3. life will be richer. as face age dreams come true.
11:49 pm
to get only say. that levy did. the only thing that never did that would be the 1st one to admit to. no black. and black. and that. is just. some fighting alongside a black man willing to die for his country. and he can buy a house next to me and live again. and then i don't make any sense. now we were looking for a place. where we like. no
11:50 pm
11:51 pm
just because i was struck by how familiar it felt it was a connection to levittown that they both developed as post-war suburbs. i believe going in he built these houses he really built these houses for the veterans coming home from the war it was hard for him to get financing for these houses because they were so different the whole social part was his design. and. i shouldn't even don't i'm not even going to open oh he was a socialist and i think a lot of the people that moved in here well i'm going to get into this.
11:52 pm
my father is gregory fairly well known in california architect from the forty's and fifty's. so this is letters. to say i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit to the basement drafting rooms that yeah why didn't have to tell of johnson's jewel that new canaan he is a real fascist intellectual. i started running through some old papers and then i came across this you know 200 page 100 he had 200 page file that the f.b.i. kept on and then they were watching everything he did from the mid forty's to the mid fifty's. gregory believes that decent housing should be there right and everyone not just the privileged very wealthy people. watching 12 percent of the population is black there should be a lot of black families living out here yeah this is only a beginning but i think it's wonderful well let's see how wonderful it is what i
11:53 pm
want to belle and winds come flying out of. there mary notes. the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large the playoffs was $400.00 homes and only $52.00 were built the f.h.a. at the time didn't think that enter graded neighborhoods would. attractive to the general public and they're providing mortgage insurance and in their minds for that would bring down the value of the homes. you know most people in america the value of those homes and parents passing that on to their children that made the biggest difference african-americans were left out and that. that
11:54 pm
inability to protest that paid in what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now. would. be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream has been for. so.
11:55 pm
11:56 pm
i don't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. my days in the house for a week. and complex. really. decent. night it was fun when i got back to the city. center somewhere for a week just to get a house together. so many neighborhoods. this neighborhood still pretty much the same. vacant we used to go. almost like a treasure hunt to go on and fight every day before they got a big. you know
11:57 pm
a jam packed on over there. and you say. baltimore is a microcosm of many urban areas in america and it is like dickens would say the tale of 2 cities. you have great investments in certain parts of town and other and looking like a ghost town. anyways the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. where racial zoning was. racially richard 2 governments were also created here. we have a myth in this country that the reason neighborhoods are segregated is because people like to live with one another who are of the same race or because
11:58 pm
african-americans have too little income to move into white neighborhoods or because this private prejudice that prevents african-americans from buying homes in white neighborhoods and that's all true but it's a tiny tiny part of the truth. there's intentionality with the capital decisions that were made around housing in the forty's and in the fifty's and i think people are a lot to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design you have the effigy in the federal housing administration a veteran's administration they subsidize home building in the suburbs and then they say is racially exclusive it means white people can move out to these areas black people. what is probably a surprise to a lot of people is that red lining is created by. the federal government. that's when the white bank is drawing red lines around black areas and don't give up no grain.
