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 love 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 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 u t was. to give people a really good sense of what's happening. i mean chula vista today house sold for 1.6. 1 point. i'm just indians here. point 4. 5. i don't know what to say. it's going to court. i don't know what the heck it is dollhouse. pool in the front yard. slightly unfinished. firepit. why is stealing a trick to get me all the other clients is all stolen. what could have been so nice about those pillars that they had to steal this 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 so 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 have 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.

strong for the next neighbor here. i don't think. you know thank you you could be old after many years ago. is still an active fire oh no it is richard. years ago richard. i want to. go to. the born here many years ago and he used to be in the house from around here someplace where you know where. i was converted. that used to be a tiny tiny. let me just check up a little bit. of

the punch i'm not going to face over there. 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 wife and. came down this. path and gulch. steaks. and they walked past us and my uncle frank said to my father get this kid get him out of this neighborhood and move. and it was not that long after that that we moved to levittown. bridge.

how much you want 30. $3800.00 here did you. ever count is not a rich neighborhood as you can see but what i love about this town is.

what i consider to be the backbone of america where in america fights inch wars people like us who go. to town for the 1st community. like this in. 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 they. look. all new world. the idea that came to a man named bill levitt was the wind up mass produced the elements that go to make up all the auto industry does what the parts the going off. when i was living there it was at a very particular moment and that was coming out of post war trajectory that

created the need for that type of housing. retraining shii you can house for as little as $600.00 down and about $99.00 a month and that was partly because the federal government and was constrain your market so. you have the g.i. bill intrusion 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 our swords and massive movements into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 1950 s. and believe that you sixty's. i was a police officer here in the national county and we were the swat team as well. who

i'm going to say you know destroyed that's sticking your tongue out of play folks in the middle of the windows i did i did it. right on where. i swear to god i guess. if you couldn't afford to. put a down payment piece. that they would let you rent them. when the option to buy so he wishes to. buy isn't done in the basement when you're ready for bed the rod goes 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 had 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 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. he was in states is lawful. it is not a country that's founded on rebuttal ideals and so country that is founded on slavery any no apology it's a country that's failing today because of the inequalities i think has created been founded on introduced over time both domestically and abroad this one. new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking

to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich here's a good. day over the hose that work children are torn between gold. from me was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal. and you would then because you report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history

was thought i'd said the kitchenette made certain i had less famous now mass in the history of the stratosphere. 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 purchase consumer durables to fell it all let's compete i'm just i'm there 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 the house of representatives those pages was something that you could aspire to and that was starting to become

a reality. now wonder what it would be to come out by. coming up with i. think. the house of 99 to. be virtually. tied by. yes life will be rich easy. as space age dreams come true. to. life. if you leave actually.

listening. to treat. it like. any. feet. below. 45. i bet you going. to get on at least say. that 11 did that with. bob that's. the only thing that he did that was trying to get

a 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're 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 buy a. new

menu come to this neighborhood you know in me to do it's different. to launch one together. there's no real fences it gives you a feeling however park like setting. the 3 sisters 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 hired by his design . and. poor. i shouldn't even say 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 from this. my father is gregory a fairly well known california architect from the forty's and fifty's. so this is letters. to say i just came i have telegrams from an interesting and unexpected visit to the days from 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 here 200 page 10200 page file that the f.b.i. kept on him and they were watching everything he did in 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. achi 12 percent of population is what 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 tell and winds come flying out.

there right now 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 that 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 now and 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 inability to protests have paid and what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now.

to be really interesting to dial it 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 of who the dream has been for. so. it's easy to. see the.

being. all. also noise in a beautiful little city with a lot of bad habits. the house is a beautiful place. as a kid i don't really understand how segregated city was because i never left. my days and it's my god awful week because my little. complex.

really. decent call it wasn't loud at night it was fun when i got back to the city . center somewhere for a week just to get a house together. and live in so many neighborhoods it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal. this neighborhood still pretty much put the same. vacant we used to go all behind them and found. almost like a treasure hunt you go on and find every day and if you are left before they got a big. you know a jam packed them for an oval some like they're. becoming didn't feel as empty as it does now and you see only a vague that's. all

the more 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 vestments looking like a ghost town. or many ways the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. where racial zoning was. racially restrictive covenants were also created here. we have a myth of 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 and white they have rights 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 that 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 for 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 grain.

just financial survival. when customers go by. reducing flour. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy

will be very critical. to sit down and talk. children caught in the crossfire in a week of rage between israel and garza of missiles from both sides of intensified all week as the death tolls continue to climb we speak to a peace activist and pink floyd frontman roger waters. when we're talking about gaza which we've seen a barrel full of fish and the israelis shooting into it. stop the madness starts the plea of the israeli president as chaos reigns on the streets as are the jewish communities clash violence surges on all sides and shops found lies and cars. drive dragged from his vehicle and beaten unconscious. as tensions run high a profile.
