4:39 pm
whatever town is not rich neighborhood, you can say. but what i love about this town is, is a new college town. it is what i consider to be backed by one of america. when america fights, it was, its people like us who got i buy 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. hey, 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

4:49 pm
when you come to this neighborhood, you know me to do. it's different on 20 centers. it gives you a feeling park like the settings. ah, in the news the i was struck by how familiar it felt. it was a connection to leopard town that they both developed as opposed to the suburbs. i believe, i believe. and he built these houses. he really built youth 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,
4:50 pm
the whole social part was partner his design. and probably i 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 again 12 percent. oh, my father is gregory a fairly well known california architect from the forties and fifties. so these are the letter that i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and an expected visit through the day from drafting rooms at yale. are one and a half days of philip johnson's jewel and new canaan. here's the real fascist intellectual. i started rummaging through some old papers and then they came across this here, 200 page, or 10200 page filed the f
4:51 pm
b. i kept on them and they were watching everything he did from the mid forties to the mid fifty's. 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 a watermelon ryan's come, fly him up. the me. ah, ah, in terms of the neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large to plants was $400.00 homes and only $52.00 were built the f ha at the time. didn't think that integrated neighborhoods
4:52 pm
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 down. and 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 dial and that, and think about the longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream,
4:54 pm
the battle is the beautiful little city. with a lot of bad habits. the house is beautiful, but golden outside house 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 god, i was house for a week. is like living 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.
4:55 pm
i live in so many neighborhoods. it doesn't allow you to gauge what is normal this neighborhood. so pretty much like the same. a lot of these out of the vegas, we used to go all behind them and up in him almost like it's ready to go in and find everything that are left before they got evicted. you know, jack, i'm phone over like the the community didn't feel it be as it does now. you said earlier because 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
4:56 pm
investments looking like a ghost town. baltimore in many ways is the ground 0 for rachel. apartheid in america is where racial voting was invented in 1910 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, 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 law to sleep thinking that certain things happened by default. rather than by design.
4:57 pm
you have the f, j, the va, the federal housing administration, and better ministration. they subsidize home building and suburbs, and then they say is racially exclusive. it means white people can move out to these areas. but what is probably a surprise for a lot of people is that red lighting is created by the federal government. that's when the white bank is drawn red lines around black areas and don't give up. no green. ah ah, your media a reflection of reality? the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer?
