you leave and go home. in fact i wouldn't call it trenches. from the thirty's on word 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 almost 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

12:37 am
i don't know what the heck it is the dollhouse. pool in the front yard. slightly unfinished. firepit. why is stealing a trick to get me all the other planets is all stolen. 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 sit non-o. 1.2 or 1.4 loans and you see houses listed for. 585 they can make you feel about. making that next payment.
12:38 am
so what we saw in 2008 was the unwinding of the housing finance system. 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 can be. many years ago. years ago. i did.
12:39 am
one born here many years ago and they used to be an. issue around here someplace you know where. i was converted. that used to be a tiny tiny. let me just check up a little bit. of the punch from non-life. 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 white and. came down as. the bats and steaks on the way to fight
12:40 am
12:41 am
12:42 am
thought it was going to fail. 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 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.
12:43 am
bill in turns 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 movements into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 1950 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 noticed about sticking your tongue out. in the middle of the windows i did right there. right on that where. i swear to god i guess. if you couldn't afford to. put a down payment teacher. that they would let you rent them what the option to buy
12:44 am
just to. buy the government. be proud to own the building or in the world but all it might take an awful lot of doing we had to grab well absolutely not everything going 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'll rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. they
12:45 am
throw them with the united states to china and russia big countries which they don't like it to you does matter what kind of regime they don't have. problems with different regimes the countries generalists quite a bit like saudi arabia for when it is their. different regimes which misbehave and there are very strong that americans cannot do nothing about so the result is that they don't know what to do with it so bush go to you know the swift place where.
12:46 am
then the report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history that said the kitchen i mean certainly this famous now mass in the history of post-war has seen. and say sickly nixon saying to christian of that the strength of the american economy is the post-war home and the ability of americans to purchase consumer durables to fella colette's complete not even a system that will give the people more good will be a better system than this one particular moment nixon was right.
12:47 am
this was the strength and the american economy. i can remember even as a kid looking at house magazines and seen 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. because it would be to an alibi. interesting comment. on the future of. the house of 1900 will be virtually maintenance free. life will be richer. as space age dreams come true.
12:49 am
hello. everybody give me 45 minutes i've got a point. now i. get only thing. that levitt did that were wrong. bob look at that. the only thing that never did that would be to 1st want to admit to. no black shalev. own black celebs. and that. is disgraceful. to some fighting alongside a black man willing to die for his country. and he can't buy a house next to me and live again. and then i don't make any sense from.
12:50 am
right now we were looking for a place. where we like the advantages of. comparison to other cities. and we understood that it was going to be all white we are very happy to. move in you come to this neighborhood you know in me too deep it's different. to nonchalant. it's no new census but it gives you a feeling of how and sending.
12:51 am
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. even and so don't i'm not even going to open he was a socialist and i think a lot of the people who moved in here. i'm going to get into opera for this.
12:52 am
my father is gregory a fairly well known california architect from the forty's and fifty's. so this is the letters. that i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit to the basement drafting rooms that yeah why did have to johnson's jewel in new canaan he is a real fascist intellectual. i started rummaging through some old papers and then i came across this here 200 page 10200 page file that the f.b.i. kept on him and they were watching everything he did from the mid forty's to the mid fifty's. gregory believes that decent housing should be the right of everyone not just the privilege of very wealthy people. watching one. percentage
12:53 am
of 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 when i want a bell and winds come flying out. termite you know it's. 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 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
12:54 am
america the value of those homes and parents passing that on to their children that made the biggest difference african-americans were left out of that. that inability to protest that 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 man in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question if you dream this plan for.
12:55 am
12:56 am
don't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. my days in a. week. and 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. this neighborhood still pretty much but the same. vacant we used to go.
12:57 am
down. it's rather hard to go on and fight every day before they 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 governments were also created here. we have
12:58 am
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 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 but black people. what is probably a surprise to
12:59 am
1:00 am
the top stories of the last week reduced to one meal a day and a growing mental health crisis stuck in isolation students in france turn in vast numbers down to a group suffering free or subsidized. thousands of migrants sold in overcrowded camps on the u.s. southern border adding to reports that washington is facing an unprecedented refugee crisis. a drug and a book called anti racist baby the washington post spread it killed and proffering parents so-called was put to real for the toddlers. we have to do so make me instead of be naive about that as well as most.
