7:36 pm
a 1.2 or 1.4 loans and you see houses listed for. 585 they're going to 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 organize the economy and how we organize social stability is an important part of understanding why we are where we are now.

7:38 pm
we moved from little italy in manhattan. there was a housing project in one night my uncle frank was already his 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. bridge.
7:39 pm
7:40 pm
go. to town. 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 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.
7:41 pm
returning to that you can house for as little as $500.00 down and that $99.00 a month and that was partly because the federal government and was ensuring your market space. you had the g.i. bill intrudes 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 could never been able to afford to massive movement into the suburbs that we saw in the 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 noticed about sticking your tongue out of place. in the middle of
7:42 pm
the windows i did right there. right on that where. the shooter got i guess. if you couldn't afford to. put a down payment teacher. that they would let you lead them. where the option to buy . but isn't done when you're ready for bed and the prognosis of home building firm in the world well all it might take an awful lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no everything out 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 hope right i mean after work there are 30 or jobs that go along with it that
7:43 pm
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. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those great. dares thinks. we dare to ask. an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect. wanted
7:44 pm
a scary thing climate change is the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is $35.00 closer than how it was for i think we're part of a murderer 1st for. worst.
7:45 pm
then who is going to report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history but that was that's said the kitchenette bates are less famous now mass and the history of post war has seen. a space sickly next and same day 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 colette's complete not even a system that will give the people more good will be a better system and this one particular moment nixon was right.
7:46 pm
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 1900. 5. 3. life will be richer. as face age dreams come true.
7:48 pm
a point. if only restate. that levy did. that. the only thing that never did that was i'll be the 1st one to admit to. no blacks allowed. on black. 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're looking for
7:49 pm
7:50 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 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.
7:51 pm
my father is gregory fairly well known in california architect from the forty's and fifty's. so this is the 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 no 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 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
7:52 pm
a beginning but i think it's wonderful well let's see how wonderful it is what i want to belive 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 be as. tracked it 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
7:53 pm
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 dilute that and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question and the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream has been for.
7:54 pm
7:55 pm
don't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. my days in the house for a week. and nice apartment complex. really. decent. 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. from. it's rather hard to go on and on every day before i got
7:56 pm
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 a myth in this country that the reason neighborhoods are segregated is because
7:57 pm
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. federal housing administration a veteran's administration they subsidize home building in the suburbs and then they say is racially exclusive. white people can move out to these areas black people. what is probably a surprise for a lot of people is that red lining is created by. federal government. that's when
7:58 pm
the white bank is drawing red lines around black areas and don't give up no grain. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura maybe in the shallows.
7:59 pm
