5:30 am
the problem a shot problem is famous devon uk and michael wimbledon don't know how we did it i'm probably going to wait with them living 2 doors away so we passed a law in 1988 of the fair housing act it proclaims that fair housing for all of human beings is now a part of the american way of life. the government's given to nurses prevent discrimination but to actually affirmatively go out and say how do we decide. so the government betrays that. i find as i travel across the country that. whether we're talking about white americans or people who may be robot and other minority groups like the mexican americans i rest. just like the black americans what everybody wants is an equal
5:31 am
chance to have a piece of the action that the federal government has never enforced the fair housing act and that stayed in the governments do not enforce the. federal policy but it's the local administration of these policies that often the black people receive discriminatory treatment hello my name is. part of their own. hello my name is graham wellington and i'm calling about the apartment around on park street. so what does this mean it means that 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. today is over 95 percent very few minority families living there.
5:32 am
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 it didn't fix it all of these policies and practices these systems. of government state government local government and then they come 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 to get yeah every time i don't need to get l.a. . working on. a unit you know you will receive you to.
5:33 am
be. contributing to tell you. there is no clue gram a promise that a president can bake think that better the government going to come in they did it anyway like john didn't do that yes. that was a. condition of black veterans and white spectrum's diversion 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 go where society is pushed and. it's. just not. any kind of nature just. falling down and people constantly live in a cause of this. cities and to adequately service neighborhoods that were
5:34 am
heavily concentrated with african-americans garbage collection wasn't a picked up as frequently a streets where it repair this well the conditions the tear it and herbal areas became slums. i would like to rub america's nose in this is say take a look at it if you want to reject it 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 failed the hope of the people who live human 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 did in the middle of black communities so there's a sort of rising anger frustration that took place. well once they became slums
5:35 am
sardi's looked at them and said well we need to do some slum clearance.
5:36 am
where all of black people all those lucky is where they gone up root in our neighborhood there did nothing with our unity it takes 10 years to really reaches out they know what to do in a systematic genocide. systematic as well as african american families who are displaced had to move somewhere so those families are 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
5:37 am
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 c c don't undermine a value of our homes 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 it never really is it was tercel but i feel real that we grew up in philadelphia actually originally and we were in an all black neighborhood in my life change when we moved to south jersey not far from some of the levittown type of neighborhoods and when we came in and the police had to come in with us because people were throwing things at our house and terrorizing our high. that night. we moved there
5:38 am
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. in what way i think that well the property values will go down if they are allowed to move in here and any number do you think them are 11. i don't think. property. and i think purely white. 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
5:39 am
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. incenting we see that only when they burn something out.
5:40 am
of people. like condition that they want to down and the rest but not good doesn't even one but many. make it what it is i can. just billowing out of the earth but him safe and all that spared. him. out. if we
5:41 am
had not been willing to recognize. this right we must obey if we're to do something about the dangers that face us no. it shouldn't be that hard to understand that becomes kind of the ultimate outcry because it's the only way that these committees become visible to most americans. while the pundit make no certainly no borders just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't come with me we don't look like. the stick. to. judge us comedy clubs to sleep systems in the long time so we can do better we should. everyone is contributing each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on. forever challenges craig to respond has been must
5:42 am
so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. when i was choked small seemed wrong but old boy just don't call. me the old baby yet to shape out just because to educate and in detroit because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before giant coming to this appearing in the peninsula. one after another. was never about to
5:43 am
pick up again you think you have to get your foot you know whom does. he want to be at. this one appeared in 2020. how often and where will new creases appear as a description of how dangerous on say a human this family you is to the 102021 russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. they built a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole. i don't want to think. we're going to be able going to. where it is not on it but you sure you can get them we're going to do that you're going to pull out and it's
5:44 am
. going to get people. for my little sort of one just a platter of middle name and you want to hear what they were shown on the turn of. 1956 when i came out here to farms i was 5 years old when i came here in 149 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 policeman i was in a riot squad and the riot. the demonstration it was in the city i went to it. mostly irish 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
5:45 am
a protest when you want. your right to protest but you see guys putting holes in the hoses so they can 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 or yes when nothing you haven't got out of way you out to achieve financial freedom it's pretty easy to do if you just. 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. to. leave you can do it to me when you waiting for your math one that is going right
5:46 am
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 that. thank you. thank you.
5:47 am
a little bit about our organization strong towns are ization has 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 going to have on real people and real families. finding foreclosures. i just saw that.
5:48 am
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 too many monthly payments. to 120 percent of the
5:49 am
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 taking someone come on. 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
5:50 am
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 history credit we don't have it if we did they catch 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 floor better to bath house. to house the car just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and
5:51 am
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 to buys that'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
5:52 am
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 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 very very. close here. as you're going to be
5:53 am
enclosed here. you might enter. hall. so i have to go out from the. bedroom hallway you know where all the entrances are to the better. so it could be a one bedroom or 3 bedroom right now we create that one bedroom here and there a 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 and 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
5:54 am
words. 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. feeling it's 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
5:55 am
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. 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.
5:56 am
so this whole industry of easy quick money for property did not end at the retail borrower. in developed as 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. 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 base is on a real property with a house on it is far higher than firmly. the cities we're seeing their tax base quintuple literally overnight.
5:57 am
the developments stops. always. get into any conversation or start answering questions.
5:58 am
you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. you've got 2 eyes in one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more if you don't take the easy going to. change the great reset. in which they meet. people have any say in any.
