from the thirty's onward every single president has spoken of homeownership almost as the basis of citizenship your ability to own a home kind of makes us citizen the most tangible cornerstone that lies at the heart of the american dream and that's the chance to own your own home those of us who've been given positions of responsibility must do everything we can to spotlight the dream and make sure that dream shines in all neighborhoods. across the country i say to millions of young working couples by the time your children are ready to start the 1st grade we want you to be able to get home. to be secure in their home and. people need to. make. a. lot more.

i'm jim the realtor here's some tips for home buyers number one work with a great realtor a good realtor sells a least one house a month check their sales history on selo. americans. buying homes in southern california especially we dig real estate and we forgot about the bubble and all the other trouble the financing and everything else. and here we are right back at it frenzied up 51015 buyers for
11:35 am
every house like none of that ever happened. to. the 800 video. i document the real estate market on you tube i got almost 1500 you tube was. going to give people really good sense of what's happening. i mean sure of this that today that house sold for 1.6. 1 point one i'm talkin millions here. point 4. 585. i don't know what to say. but it's going to work. i don't know what the heck it is the dollhouse. pool in the front yard. slightly unfinished. firepit. why it's stealing the trick to get me all the other appliances all still want. what could have been so nice about
11:36 am
those pillars that they had to steal this and i'm not sure. there's. 15 houses on this street. i think it was. at least 8 of them had loans way over a 1000000 but if you're sitting on a 1.2 or 1.4 loans and you see houses listed for. 585 they can make you feel about. making that next payment. so what we saw in 2008 was the unwinding of the housing finance system what most people understand as a financial crisis or a problem of our housing stock actually is on wanted to get a social contract that was built in the 1940 s. . and so understanding that and how the american home was the basis of how we
11:37 am
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 think you know thank you you can be. many years ago. i. was. born here many years ago and they used to be. around here someplace you know when. i was converted. that used to be
11:38 am
a tiny tiny. let me just check up a little bit. of the punch. 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 white and. came down. and. and they walked past us and my uncle frank said to my father get this kid this neighborhood. and it was not that long after that that we. bridge.
11:39 am
how much you want 38. 1000. here.
11:40 am
but what i love about this town is. what i consider to be. people like us who go. down. nation no but everybody thought it was going to fail because he built 10000 and it is like that. coming out of the 2nd world war the idea of mass production became something that was truly a reality a. look. all new world. the idea that came to a man named bill levitt what this wind up mass produced the elements that go to
11:41 am
make up all the auto industry does with the parts that go into a new law. 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 $600.00 down and that $99.00 and i'm not as pretty as 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 never been able to afford to massive movement into the suburbs that we saw in the
11:42 am
late 1940 s. 950 s. soon to be 966. i was a police officer in the national county and we were the swat team as well. who i'm going to say you know to story about sticking your tongue out of folks in the middle of the windows i did my duty. right on that where. the shooter got idea. if you couldn't afford to. put a down payment teacher. that they would let you let them. what the. shift to. but isn't done i'm. proud to own the building from the world but overall it's more like an awful lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no everything out that they don't want if you go back to william levitt he said no man who owns his own home and lot can be
11:43 am
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'll rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. is
11:44 am
your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. then
11:45 am
who's going to report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history was that's said the kitchenette bates' are less famous now mass in the history of post-war housing or. as say sickly next and same to christian of that the strength of the american economy is the post-war home and the ability of americans to
11:46 am
purchase consumer durables to fill it so let's compete not a system that will give the people more good will be a better system and this one particular moment nixon was right. this was the strength and the american economy. i can remember even as a kid looking at house magazines and seeing the 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 move out by. the house of 99 to. be virtually made plans for my.
11:47 am
3. life will be richer. as face age dreams come true. feel the pressure. to. get my.
11:48 am
feet. below. 45 minutes i bet you point. out that. if only we say. that levy did. that. the only thing that never did that would be the 1st one to admit to. no blacks allowed. and blacks allowed. and that. is disgraceful. to some fighting alongside
11:49 am
a black man willing to die for his country. if you can't buy a house next to me and live again. then i don't make any sense. now we were looking for a place. where we like. no other city. and we understood that it was going to be all right we're very happy to . move in you come to this neighborhood you know in me to do it's different. to
11:50 am
nonchalant. there's no real fences it gives you a feeling however park like setting. 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.
11:51 am
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. 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 in 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 10200 page file that the f.b.i. kept on and then they were watching everything he did from the mid forty's to the
11:52 am
mid staffs days. gregory believes that decent housing should be their 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 want to belle and winds come flying out. through my olds. 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 be as. tracked it to
11:53 am
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 inability to protests have paid and 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.
11:54 am
it's. the. being.
11:55 am
all. possible is a beautiful little city with a lot of bad habits. the house is a beautiful. house. i don't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. my days in the. week. and nice apartment complex. decent. night it was fine when i got back to the city. center somewhere for a week just to get a house together. so
11:56 am
many neighborhoods. this neighborhood still pretty much put the same. vacant we used to go. almost like a treasure hunt going to have fun every day before they got a big. you know a jam packed. like they're. becoming didn't show as empty as it does now 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
11:57 am
for racial apartheid in america. where racial zoning was. racially richard 2 covenants were also created here. we have a myth in this country that the reason they were hoods are segregated is because people like to live with one another who are of the same race or because 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 if it's in the be a federal housing administration a veteran's administration they subsidize home building in the suburbs and then
11:58 am
they say is racially exclusive it means white people can move out to these areas but black people. what is probably a surprise a lot of people is that red lining is created by. the federal government. money that's when the white bank is drawing red lines around black areas and don't give up no grain. change your pick of the great recession or. something in which the meat is real liberalism mutating reception he'd better truly believe people have any say in any . i'm going to trust him with. perkins words walk across the ground
