6:35 pm
was a blur. yeah. you think when i said blurred, you things that i don't know all the details. i'm just saying blur, meaning it was a blurred time of my life. well, let me add some color because i remember i'm sure you do. the blog was run and i want to talk about those until because of our connection to countrywide, they started the least. they had a supply to be one of the agents. how much do the number 2006 this out for for a 1000000 900100 square feet right across the street from the freeway 1000000. so we call a retro water heater vintage a lot of late fee. you are watching this video and you're a realtor and you're jumping off the cast saying wait a minute,
6:36 pm
i represent the buyer. when they paid a 1000000, i want you to put your my tied down and go grab your shingle to senate in the area right now. you don't deserve to be license december 2006. the name dollars there. one who was on that deal to 0 to get fired. i'm jim the realtor. there's a lot of trust market place on value. could this be just a value bible where people just keep paying these crazy prices a lot more than they used to just literally a year ago. just because they want to get a house. there really isn't the evidence to help support them that i can say, oh for sure, it's worth it. there's really an some valid concern about valuation when the proof is so thin, it's always been
6:37 pm
a problem in this industry. there is just that one way to determine what some is worth is look what other people pick up. the other people were crazy. they were hoping to get $2000000.00 for these up here. you can see the bill. i think a handful of them and gave up, and those are $5.60 square foot hours. everyone was gone by launcher. get in, or you might get price down forever. because up to that point, no one had seen any previous downturn just wasn't in the vocabulary. and nobody clinton, realtors never really fighting parties. never going to hand me
6:38 pm
. i mean the thing about this is, this is kind of, i used to build. i was the engineer who would design and layout and build this stuff. i would work on these big development projects. these would come to us. we want this done, we got to build it. and i sincerely believe that the work i was doing was building a great america. but then i started to ask some questions about what comes next. after we build something, how do we take care of it? what's the cash flow that makes this all work? i started to look at developments that i had worked on or run some larger math problems. for example, the developer would come in and build the road. the developer paid all the costs to build it. people have been paying their taxes and the idea was they pay their taxes and then the government would fix this row. the cost was $54000.00 to fix that road
6:39 pm
. we asked the question, okay, based on the taxes, fees collecting from these people? how long is going to take them to recoup the money they just spent? answer 79 years. as an engineer, i knew that road was going to pass 2025 years. this doesn't make any sense. the grow creates what we call the illusion of wealth. if you lose money on every transaction, you don't make it up in volume. where are we at today? we're like, way out here. you can look at the run up to the housing crash as a prime example. everybody felt like what we're doing, okay? because, you know, yeah, i made 12000 dollar housing payments, but my house went up by 40000. i cashed out the difference. i'm doing fine. you're essentially skirting around the court problem,
6:40 pm
which is that the underlying economy does not work. in 2000 we had 1100 census tracts in this country that you can classify as persistent poverty in 2010, it went from 1100 census tracts to 3300 census tracts. 3 times the american geography is now in persistent poverty. our places don't work, they're just designed to decline. if you don't know what was last, you don't look at the place and see like this is decline. 143. if you're 10 years, 20 years, 30 years older than me. you see is rooms and so it's really hard for you to get your mind out of that and actually see how this could be a better place. now we have an olive garden, so we've made it right. i don't know me in the middle. it's heartbreaking. the
6:41 pm
midwest is heartbreaking. like i'm all the places. this is one of the last ones i live in, but it's home and i, you know, there's a part of me that loves it to like, i looked at it and i'm like, i, i want to help this place. i want to make sure i'm moving a little google street if you guy. yeah. dance south 6th street. yeah. that was shot deal. it's a man that's when we were shot after another. yeah. i know i'm educated enough to to know that i shouldn't talk about race things because i realized how ignorant i am. i mean i grew up in a city that is 99 percent white and probably still is very close to that. but when you start to get a mixing piece, like the others start to move in whether the other is someone of a different race or someone to be different social class. i think it's because there's a natural human tendency to a sense, like circle the wagons and what zoning did is it gave like this really wonderful
6:42 pm
tool to be able to write in a more camouflage, kind of raise this way. we don't want those people here. i think the irony today is that it's also now trapped, poor white people, the mechanic. they as you owe $250.00 for new brake lines. doug, what does human are going to do to member who fix anything for $40.00? why they don't? yeah, no, not season in a gym and it fixed my refrigerator, my air conditioner and my about got a guy. all right, the prima ga bar said the hyper problem we had today is less race than it is poverty. and i think he's exactly right. i mean, there's a racial element to it, but middle class whites will sacrifice poor whites to there's no racial loyalty there. they're gonna kick them to the curb. i been able to,
6:43 pm
to travel around the country and experience different communities. it's the same. it's the same thing. so you see across the rust belt and you see across rural america, people struggling and those struggles are kind of shared struggles with people in urban areas that have long been when you find that you can no longer get the mortgage, which you can no longer cash up equity when you can no longer get the car loan for the new car, your world changes and your experience changes in america becomes like a really cruel place. ah, we're starting to see more and more that is a mainstream experience. how are you going to get your when even the enzyme here and nobody meeting quality of the whole? you can create a social contract and make tons of promises. we now live in the day when those
6:44 pm
promises are coming due. and that's not a left or right thing. it kind of transcends left and right because neither side understands that they both want to go back to what they thought worked. it didn't work well when i would chose the wrong, why don't i just don't get to see out this thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the news
6:45 pm
6:46 pm
on a 3 night stay here. want to be getting ready for the banish college. why any be going to be available? not only did we will build together port coverage when we build it. it will be our covington, digital, baltimore, at the heart of this, a new world headquarters for under armor, an opportunity for all the bottom will be dig more. tonight, baltimore city council put the stamp of approval on the $660000000.00 for the board . coming to project the developer guarantee, the city affordable housing jobs and exchange for the investments are intended to
6:47 pm
have a mixed income, diverse community. their definition of affordable housing is affordable to families making about $70000.00 per year. so we're saying she can't build a community. what people who are wealthy snarkiness is not helpful to discuss. so, but if only gets a moment for the neighborhood is still in equality, no, not in favor, any oppose. remember we are creating a structural disadvantage in our american community, but we creating structural advantage in our way. and that's where we are, today's, it wasn't till i got older and started understanding politics a little more. and at the same time,
6:48 pm
i started getting real big and black history and about the things that america had done to us ago. sounds bad mix, but even news that spectacular about we readily recognize that balance. right. but we don't recognize read learning flow. we don't recognize putting people in environments where they don't have opportunity and low but that's what's going on in baltimore. i was sitting here at my desk watching the police and the children interact on the day of april 27th, 2015. and the children were born rocks, the police door rocks back at the children, and eventually the police, you know, they're shooting rubber bullets and they deploy tear gas. and at the moment they deploy that tear gas. i'm sitting here and i'm i, i feel like this, wait, come right on my chest. and i might, i can't breathe. i couldn't watch them anymore because i knew it was cause i'm sort
6:49 pm
of busy a logical reaction in my body. it really was a powerful total turning point because everybody went over draft after that, everybody went into throwing themselves into activism and nonprofit work and volunteerism. so talk about so was home and naples was to be set up to be with a perfect you're likely to be within your partner. i'm originally from grandma's grandma's area. to me, that last section of the neighborhood is everything that was a certain level of pain. gotta go through to be really from baltimore and when you really from a neighborhood that has a reputation, you get was known as a staff. i have my little, you know,
6:50 pm
the only thing. it sands for the last 2 digits of your or your call. so it's really big, you know, to be connected to a neighborhood where people outside of street don't understand. all of this stuff is about legacy. you don't really know where we come from. we don't know our families. so when you decide that your street, do you put your all into bank street is really the only industry that we run. oh, we think we run. going to go from there. you go up one, to up under your name. what is your name? what kind of day you want to leave your children? that's a, that's the name of father. let me go anywhere i want to use bottom one. i have a problem because my father was but because i'm not as to do. and that's what i feel. okay. those morals, i gotta leave my son. i'm a block in the city, and it's going to be it's going to be a new block. i'm trying to tell you. my help
6:51 pm
a lot of people just by giving them places to stay and know what i know how to do use his hand. i know too much about real estate to get him into these homes. that's gonna be my legacy. is going to be my losing it was really sad when he started putting money into the horrible infant it was go back into to naples. i've seen so much change the from when i was younger to now coming out, neighborhood, and dangerous. and the me is african american read into route and then other people neighborhood people who've been here and have been mentally beaten up anti alive. it's so much that you've got to be mad at that feeling of hopelessness in me kind of manifested itself into hate. so when you get the
6:52 pm
6:53 pm
go the job or the embers of the authorities to act. they turn out this fire, so i'm going to stop it right here. i just wanted you to see this piece 1st, but i want to do something else and, and to. it's not a young man. was poking a water hose left a pocket knife. why want you to know that's him right there right there. the it 21 with no price as spent to is slight and 25 and be was trying to give me more time than i have been on earth. it was scary,
6:54 pm
but it was eerily familiar because i felt like no matter what accomplished my life being the 1st person to go to college graduate school. i felt like i was told to be there. it's kinda hard for you to take this stuff that we see here and translate it into the humanity other as a person, a 1000000. got a $1000000.00 and restitution. $100.00, i'm latanus $10000.00 less. anyway, no, anybody had to live 10000 mice. can lead a city to my resolution be well, we can't, you know, loudly, you, city to presentation pay. these are the struggles they don't make the news. these are the differences. they make people like myself turn off from everybody yourself . you know what i mean? because everybody else, asian, ah, when people make the claim of you know,
6:55 pm
why would people bring their own neighborhood? i think it's sort of glib statement to sort of gloss over the fact that many neighborhoods don't have investment to begin with. why would they burned down their own community? i mean, it really isn't a community that they've been able to have ownership in. don't push me close, keep the black community been push to the it and i think that is sort of why we see some of the uprising we see now i may begin to understand the black lives matter, but black lives matter of black neighborhoods don't matter. oh, i came back here subsequently when i was a police officer and it was all bricked up all the windows to dois choice property. now the areas, gentrified. gentrification,
6:56 pm
i suppose on one hand is a good thing cuz it cleans up to neighborhood. it makes it nice, but my heart goes out to the people who wants to live here. who got moved down. because where does poor people go? you know, they were for saturday, a neighborhood homes are gone. we of the country don't pay attention to the places where people live to home, they will continue to go in circles and that really get to the root problem. busy ah, me, when you look at reinforced your scene, a very complex ecosystem, not only do you have these massive trees, but you have all the under story, all the animals, every leaf has its own individual ecosystem. when you add up all of that, you have this massive, massive complexity. you compare that to say a cornfield. you have one species,
6:57 pm
a plant completely monoculture. and what you see is a very efficient undertaking to use a lot of corn and very small space. but you certainly don't have the complexity and the ability to thrive. a reinforced, ah, what we did is we switch cities from being complex systems, the core i, you look back in history and the way humans evolved along with the city. and what you see is that messiness friction, that rubbing up against other people is an essential component. and there was a certain discomfort that went along with that. there was also a social dimension to it that we've just completely lost. ah,
6:58 pm
6:59 pm
7:00 pm
ah, in the wake of the taliban, shawn cade, over of afghanistan. the white house says it did not evacuate earlier to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government, but it admits that its belated response failed to stop that from happening anyway. as un food agency is one of the down shortages within a week. the group's ag, before the country tells us of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. needs that are on the new location or the most important scene right now is the provide so that we can provide partial systems to the people who are some afghans employed by foreign.
