me i'm jim the realtor here are some tips for homebuyers. number one work with a great realtor. a good realtor sells at least one house a month. check their sales history on zillow. the 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. we're on the $800.00 video document. it's

a real estate market on youtube. i got almost 1500 youtube and it gives people real good sense of what's happening. i mean show of this that today. so for 1.61 point one. i'm talking millions here. point 4. 585. i don't know what to say. i don't know what the heck that is the dollhouse pool in the front yard. slightly unfinished fire pit. why is feeling the trim piece out? me? all the other appliances all stolen. could have been so nice about those pillars that they had to steal. i'm not sure. there's 15. how the mystery?

i think it was. at least 8 of them. i had loans way over me and well, if you're sitting on a 1.2 or 1.4 loan and you see how the list is 585. how they're going to make you feel about making that next name and i'm general. ah, so what we saw in 2008 was the unwinding of housing finance system. what most people understand as a financial crisis or a problem of our housing stock actually is unwinding, give a social contract that was built in 1940. and so understanding that and how the american home was the basis of how we organized the economy and how we organized social stability is an important part of understanding why we are where we are now . me

pretty nice name. i don't you know, when it is place you used to be a whole fire house many years ago. i just went back to my house. you know, this was an old all 5 years ago, which i'm now to bother you. i, i want, i did one of the yoga or the attorney. well, no, i was born here many years ago. and he used to be in an old fire house around here someplace were you know, where it would have been might have been here. and i was converted or there used to be a tiny, tiny fire house. let me just check up a little bit with my

mother punch in your face over there. when i was 6 months old, we moved from little italy in manhattan to this area right here was a housing project one night. my uncle frank was all what his wife and a mob guys came down as well. can you guys with badge and felt sticks? they want a way to fight a bunch of black ice and they walk past us. and my uncle plank 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 over town. i do okay, you can tell me how could you leave new york tribal bridge? i got a bit disabled as well and i got a great job at a great place. we would pick expense the

mother with me. ah oh wow. how much he was $33800.00. he did you ok whoever town is not rich neighborhood,

you can change. but what i love about this town is, is a college town. it is what i consider to be in the back one of america. when america fights it was, it's people like us who go with the town was the 1st community which kind of felt like this nation. but everybody thought it was going to fail because he built 10000 houses like that. coming out of the 2nd world war. the idea of mass production became something that was truly a reality. kids love our whole new world to build the idea that came to a man named bill love it was this. why not mass produce the elements that go to make up our house just as the auto industry does with the parts that go into a new car? i, when i was living there, it was at

a very particular moment and that was coming out of postwar trajectory that created the need for that type of housing. ah, returning g i you could buy a house for as little as a $100.00 down and about $99.00 a month. and that was partly because the federal government was ensuring your mortgage. we 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, you sort of jumpstart housing industry and make home ownership possible without those subsidies, lower and middle class families didn't ever been able to afford to master move in to the suburbs that we saw in the late 19 forties. 19 fifties and 1960

i was a police officer here in national county, and we were the swat team as well. i went to and you noticed story about sticking her tongue on a place both in the middle of winter. i didn't quite on netflix. i swear to god, i didn't if you couldn't afford to put a down payment on the letter, it would let you read was the option to buy. so he was just this is william robert adams. the progress building firm in the world fell all the 2nd an awful lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no. everything had to be done at once. if you go back to william levitt, he said no man who owns his own home in law can be a communist. because he has too much to do the. 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 have to work or 30 or jobs that go along when it did match the 30 year mortgage. and then you'll rebel, right as the things you don't remote if you have a stake in the system. the, the, the, the i think a trip down memory lane through the history books, talk about geo politics as it was a 100 years ago, 150 years ago from some big brain sort of looking at the big map and how that's relevant today. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then

me i use i use use now presents a special report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history. one of them will be miss moments in the history post warehousing. and basically,

nixon saying decrease of that, the strength of the american economy is the post to our home and the ability to purchase consumer doorbells to fill it. so let's go to the system that will give the people more good will be the better system in this one particular moment, nixon was right. ah, this was the strength in the american economy. i can remember even as a kid, looking at house magazine and seen the incredible vision of the future, the house represented in those pages was something that you could aspire to. and that was starting to become a reality magic how wonderful it would be to nathan out like met a future because the present in the house of the future house of 999 will be

virtually maintenance free. 3 yes, life will be richard, easier. as space age dreams come true. i enjoyed the classic beauty leave room for a fraction. like trading kitchen. one light mask. the car gives me what i want. anything is

me me? hello. hey buddy. give me like 45 minutes. all right, buddy, boy, i only say that 11 did that was wrong, because that's the only thing that i did that was wrong and i'll be the 1st one to admit this note, blacks and blacks. and that is disgraceful. ah,

as i'm fighting alongside a black man was willing to die the and he can't buy a house next to me and live again me assignment. i don't make any sense. ah, why did you select glad to believe we were looking for a place to live in town. we'd like to share. we like the advantages that left counting them offer in comparison to other cities and we understood that it was going to be all right, we're very happy to buy a home here. me ah,

when you come to this neighborhood, you know, immediately it's different on 20 centers. it gives you a feeling park like the settings. ah the news i was struck by how familiar it felt. it was a connection to a town that they both developed as opposed to the suburbs. i believe going him and he built these houses. he really built you 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 partner his design and probably shouldn't even say and said don't. i'm not even going to open a socialist. and i think a lot of the people that moved in here were i'm going to get 12 percent. oh, my father is gregory a fairly well known california architect from the forties and fifties. so these are the letter i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit through the day from drafting rooms at yale. are one and a half days of philip johnson's jewel, new canaan, he is the real fascist intellectual. i started rummaging through some old papers and then i came across this here, 200 page,

or 10200 page filed the f b. i kept on them and they were watching everything he did from the mid forties to the mid fifties. gregory, believe that decent housing should be the right of everyone, not just the privilege of very wealthy people. 12 percent of the 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 to melon ryan's come fly about the me ah ah, in terms of the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large. the plan was for $100.00 homes and only $52.00 were built the f ha at the time,

didn't think that integrated neighborhoods would attractive to the general public. and they're providing mortgage insurance and in their minds that would bring down the value of the home you know, most people in 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 participate in what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now. the really interesting dialogue back and think about the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream,

but the bigger question of who the dream has been for ah, ah oh, i mean, i mean, i mean i

know is a beautiful little city with a lot of bad habit houses here. beautiful. but golden outside house stuff is tough. oh. as a kid, i didn't really understand how segregated the city was because i never left my areas. one time. my dad to my got this house for a week was like literally right outside the city. and he had a nice apartment complex and cool every day. brilliant people, a decent car. it wasn't loud at night. it was fun. but when i got back to the city, they got evicted. my dad sent us somewhere for a week just to get the house together. i've moved too many times to count.

i've lived in so many neighborhoods. it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal his neighborhood still pretty much like the same. a lot of these out of the vegas, we used to go all behind them in up in them. i would like to go in and find everything or left before they got evicted. you know, a jack far as i'm falling over like the the community didn't feel like b as it does now. you see earlier vacancy whose kids is just having fun. 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

investments looking like a ghost town. baltimore in many ways is the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. is where racial zoning was invented in 1900, in and then racially restrictive. covenants were also created here. we have a miss 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 there's private prejudice that prevents african americans from buying homes and white neighborhoods. and that's all true. but it's a tiny tidy part of that, that shows 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 law to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design,

you have the f, a, j, the federal housing administration of bidders administration. they subsidize home building and suburbs, and then they say is racially exclusive. it means why people can move out to these areas, but what is probably a surprise to a lot of people is that red lighting is created by federal government. and that's when the white bank is drawn red lines around black areas and don't give up, no grain. oh, i use when i was shot the wrong when i was just don't the

road yesterday out the same because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in our military mission against them will conclude on august 31st i was time for them to go to us all the quote unquote, a young girl who will bundle you so much you got to the southern company, so the cut cut over the whatever the month. i think that was the quote to alicia. very good. this was the right weapon against the right and the local. no, no, no bought it from but it was on the old out through z o o,

z the the signing of the us to all about agreement and laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting peace in afghanistan. and i know that mcdonald does have what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the in

the in the wake of the taliban shot take over the dentist and the white house says it did not evacuate earlier to avoid a complete crisis of confidence in the afghan government. but admit that if belated response failed to stop that from happening anyway, you and food agencies warned of shortages in afghanistan within weeks. the groups a chief before the country tells us of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. needs are enormous. really awful population are the most important thing right now. he's still wide so the weekend are wide and partial people from earlier, some afternoons, employed by foreign states did manage to leave the country. however, there.
