8 maybe not quite as fun as you might remember that bella fornia has announced it will reopen its theme parks but on the condition that people will stay dead silence while zipping through the air on their favorite roller coasters so basically defeating the whole point of the ride if you're having trouble imagining just how depressing boring and sad a silent roller coaster ride could be while japan introduced a similar rule last summer and it was about as fun as you could expect. while much fun and keeping in line with the whole covert thing a bunch of other measures were also introduced such as how many people can be on a ride seating patter the amount of households that can be on one train you get the idea so basically it's we're open but we might as well not be because all the

measures we're going to introduce will make air time as joyless as possible what's the point of even opening it's not like you're going to be making any money off of this plus it's not very clear how exactly they're going to be enforcing the no screaming on the ride rule perhaps ejector seats while on the move. now there's a thought that's it for the more 30 minutes if you want to see what we're talking about have your comment as well say about the stories we're covering check out our tito cauldron of a social reporting on that shooting overnight as well in america from a check of the latest on that reporting now from moscow kevin oh inciting of what have you do in have a great day. if

. screen cells of. the flipper. from upstairs to the right if. we get right to look at it then. we will belong there from here this is the work you do. from check this out. and he's taking business sections tell me a woman. friend whatever you would see. if. the finger. to create is good read

a bottle in the middle to congress when you see just float i don't know if you're asking me are just cool through a screen and heavy coming back to the room. anything or heavy the whole thing is puddle. all shit to me it means freedom stripped as a. small mob valuate this world i'm alone while i understand that you don't owe anything. you are nothing you know some have is in this world catastrophic you got to have a place that you can go to. and say this is my about i was going on i'll do this and it means so much to me is everything to me. from by myself i tend to savor it. so peaceful can i do to be walk around i'm on

the way i'm going to for a very good at some apple juice is going out on the porch and smoke a cigarette. you know was fun a reason to snap out of it. so i'm human only begun so long. it's not fun and you leave and go home and. in fact i wouldn't call the trenches. 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. just so. 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 . find a home in southern california especially we dig real estate and we forgot about the boat and all the other trouble the financing and everything else. and here we are right back at it frenzied up 51015 buyers for every house like none of that ever happened. the 800 video. i documented the real estate market on you tube i got almost 1500 you tube. and it gives people really good sense of what's happening. i mean chill of this

that today that house sold for 1.6. 1 point one i'm just in millions here. point 4. 585. i don't know what to say. but it's going to work. but i don't know what the heck it is the dollhouse. pull 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 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 name and. 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 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. years ago. i. was. born here many years ago and he used to be an. issue around here someplace where you know. that used to be 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 his wife and. came down to. the baths and belts. 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. bridge.

how much you want 38. 1000. here. 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 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 intruding 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 could never been able to afford to massive movement into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 950 s. and in the night you sixty's. 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 on a plate. in the middle of the windows i did right there. 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 option to abide . by the government under the bed and be proud to own the building firm in the world. a lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no everything got 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. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to get us to the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

then 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 nixon st a christian of that the strength of the american economy is the post-war home and

the ability of americans to purchase consumer durables to fell it oh let's compete not just in the we'll give you people or 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 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 and i. think. the house of 99 to. be virtually made plans for my. 3 3.

life will be richer. as face age dreams come true. if people. feel the pressure. to. get my.

feet. below. 45 minutes i've got a point. 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 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. here 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

nonchalant. there's no real census but it gives you a feeling of a 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 partners 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. 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 did 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 here 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

mid fifty's. gregory believes that decent housing should be their right and everyone not just the privilege of 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. there my olds. the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large the plants was $400.00 homes and only $52.00 were built the f.h.a. at that 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 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.

so. it's. being.

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. nice apartment 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 it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal. this neighborhood still pretty much but the same. vacant we used to go. from. it's rather hard to go on and on every day. got a big. you know a jam packed. show as. 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 covenants 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 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 logged to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design you have the if it's 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 but black people. what is probably a surprise a lot of people is that red lining is created by. federal government. that's when the white bank is. black areas and don't give a. shit

in the headlines this morning germany imposes yet another round of harsh. as a huge scandal over political profiteering from face. hits the top with the health minister himself in the firing line. protesters hit the streets across europe against painful. people tell us why they've had enough. we no longer know we. we are a little lost it's all a blur because you call on the streets life so much we are here in castle today because all the measures that are being taken here in.
