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 winding of 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. it's time for the next neighbor here. i don't think you know thank you you could be

12:41 am
a month and that was partly because the federal government was constrained your market so. you had the g.i. bill encouraging 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 we've never been able to afford to massive movements into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 950 s. soon to be like you sixty's. i was a police officer here the national county and we were the swat team as well. who i'm going to say you know what a story that's taking your time to play. in the middle of the intense but i did try to do. right on that where. the shooter got i guess. if you couldn't

want to belive winds come flying out of. my house. 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's made the biggest difference african-americans were left out and that. that

don't really understand how segregated city was because i never left my areas. my days and it's my god awful week it was my little city and get a nice apartment complex every day brilliant people a decent call it wasn't loud at night it was fine when i got back to the city to be got a ticket. somewhere for a week just to get a house together. too many times to count and live in so many neighborhoods it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal. his name was still pretty much the same. vacant we used to go all behind him and from. almost like it's rather hard to go on and fight every day before they got

12:57 am
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 loyal to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design you have that if it's in the be a 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. the federal government. that's when the white bank is drawing red lines around black areas and don't give up no
