5:32 pm
a higher standard of living or a country with. ready okay, terrific. kinds of buy. we've never had a defiant house that a nationwide basis home may see in every price where you're not going to see the collapse when right above the if there is a bubble, as they call it. that happened because people like me. i knew wanting to know i retire economy is in danger and that means life is most americans know it is about the change. 40000000 people took a mortgage in the last 3 years they moved higher among people. home
5:33 pm
san bernardino recently became the 3rd california state about bankruptcy. and unlike a homeowner, we can walk away from the mortgage, but more than the hampton work municipality hadn't ah come back to the property of consider trip. did you ever think that this one could become 50 percent of your business? no, never whatever. ah, yes. i found was in the model times of the world works. your ideology was not. right. so i know i jar opener. we need one of those
5:34 pm
10 by 17. for the living room, i was 18 counting the counter c count this to figure i've been doing real estate with him since natalie was to. so that's 16 years after the l. a times article in the nightline piece. all that, i remember us being just completely crazy busy. i mean as, as great as it was, it was such a blur. it
5:35 pm
was a blur. yeah. you think when i said, learn, you think 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 running. i want talk about because of our connection to countrywide. they started the lease, they had a supply to do one of the agents. how much 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 advantage, a home, a lovely fee. you are watching this video and your realtor
5:36 pm
and your jumping off the casting. wait a minute, i represent the buyer. when they paid a 1000000, i want you to put your my tie down and go grab your single. we sent it in the area right now. you don't deserve to be licensed. december 2006. the full name dollars. hey one who was on that deal to get fired? i'm jim 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
5:37 pm
when the proof is so thin, it's always been a problem in this industry. there is just one way to determine what some of the worth is. look what other people pay. the other people were crazy. they were hoping to get $2000000.00 for these up here. you can see they built a handful of them and gave up. and those are $5.60 square foot hours. everyone was gone by the 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 couldn't. realtors ever really saw party is never going to in
5:38 pm
me i mean the thing about this is, this is i used to build, i was the engineer who would design and layout and build this stuff. i would work on these big develop projects 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, and run some larger math problems. for example, developer would come in and build the road. the developer paid all the costs. people have been paying their taxes,
5:39 pm
and the idea was they pay their taxes and then the government would fix this road. the cost was $54000.00 to fix that road. 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. does it engineer? i knew that road was going to hast 2025 years. this doesn't make any sense. the growth 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 dollars, housing payments, but my house went up by 40000. i cashed out the difference. i'm doing fine. you're
5:40 pm
essentially skirting around the core problem, which is that the underlying economy does not work. in 2000 we had 1100 census tracks 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, i 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 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,
5:41 pm
so we've made it right. i don't know i'm in the middle. it's hard breaking the 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 look at and i'm like, 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 shown delivered a man that's are there. sorry. one more 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 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 of people in the community, the other start to move in whether the other is someone of a different race or someone of a different social class. i think it's the colleges and there's
5:42 pm
a natural human tendency to a sense, like circle the wagons and what zoning did is it gave like this really wonderful 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. what is human? are going to a new member who fits anything for $40.00. why not? they don't. yeah. well not feasible june and fix my refrigerator, my air conditioner, am i got a guy do all right. do you know kareem? abdul jabbar said the hyper problem we had today is less race than it is poverty. and i think he is 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
5:43 pm
there. they're gonna kick them to the curb. i been able to, to travel around the country 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 left behind. when you find that you can no longer get the mortgage which you can no longer cash, open 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. starting to see more and more that is a mainstream experience. how are you going to get your body when even the enzyme here and nobody else can meeting holiday party. all you can create
5:44 pm
a social contract and make tons of promises. we now live in the day when the promises are coming due and that's not a left or right thing. 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 the military mission and, and it's damn, we'll conclude on august 31st, the one who did a good, who would have thought the quote unquote a young girl. and i really need proof for my. you got to be a subtle company. you cut the cut over the month. i think that i'm on the 7th. not to get a quote to ship a minute. this was the right weapon against the right hand, the local no no,
5:45 pm
no bought it from but it was filled out through z o o z the the signing of the us taliban agreement. and i laid the groundwork for the road ahead toward a lasting piece in afghan. stan and i know we still need the normal dunaway and does he hi, matt, kaiser or more of my guys do financial survival. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional galle wags to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform. watch because
5:46 pm
the baltimore is very similar to many cities in terms of the way that has been read post industrialization between 195-2000 baltimore last 100000 manufacturing jobs. so that's kind of a negative effect on people feeling like they have control over the necessities of their life. they weren't around one on a 3 night. it's been on the on the getting a college. why any be going to be reasonable?
5:47 pm
not only did we will build together or come in 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 of the big movie. tonight, baltimore city council put the staff of approval on the $660000000.00 for the fort coming to project the developer guarantee. the city affordable housing jobs and exchange for the investments are intended to 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 is she can't build a community. what people who are wealthy snarkiness is not helpful for the discussion. oh, but if only you guys get to move into the neighborhood,
5:48 pm
there's still any quality, no knowledge favor, any oppose. remember we are creating a structural disadvantage in our asked the american community, but we're creating structural advantage in our way. and that's where we are today. it wasn't that i got older and started understanding politics a little more. and at the same time, i started getting real big and black history and about the things that america had done to us goes, 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 low,
5:49 pm
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, yes, i'm sitting here and i'm i, i feel like this weight 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 of busy a logical reaction. in my body it really was powerful, pivotal turning point because everybody went over draft after that, everybody went into throwing themselves into activism and nonprofit work and volunteerism. so we'll
5:50 pm
talk about here. so what is home in the naval would be you can find that out to be with a likely be within your partner. i'm originally from grandma grandma area to me that the last section of the neighborhood is everything that was a certain level of pain. you've got to go through to be really from baltimore and when you really from a neighborhood that has a reputation you get was known as i have my little, you know, the only thing is saying for the last 2 digits of your or your call is really being, 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
5:51 pm
families. so when you decide that your street, do you put your all into ban street? do is really the only industry that we run. oh, we think we weren't going to go from there. you go up to up under your name. what is your name? what kind of ne, 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 a lot of people just by giving them places to stay and know what i know how to do use it. i know too much about real estate to get them into these homes. that's gonna be my legacy is going to be my losing it was really saturday when he started putting money into the infant was go back into the
5:52 pm
neighbors, which he did. i've seen so much change from whenever younger to now coming out neighborhood, and it's dangerous. and the media is african americans read inch and the route, and then the neighborhood people who've been here and have been mentally beaten up the entire life is 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 opportunity to display your anger and intent of haven't edges and goals, way be anybody could paint the
5:53 pm
5:54 pm
they turn out the 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 waterhouse with the pocket knife. why i want you to know that's him right there. right there. the. it $21.00. with no price, i spent 2 is fight and 25 and be was trying to give me more time than i have been on earth. it was gary, but it was eerily familiar because it felt like no matter what i accomplished in my life in 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
5:55 pm
a $1000000.00 and restitution. $100.00 in lightness, $10000.00 less. anyway. know anybody to live 10000 us. can lead a city to restitution be we can't, you know, loudly, you city to restitution 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, why would people bring down 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 old community? i mean, it really isn't a community that they been able to have ownership in
5:56 pm
don't push me, come close to the black community. been push to that is and i think that is sort of why we see some of the uprising. we see. no. yeah, he may begin to understand the black lives matter, but black lives, don't matter. 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, i suppose on one hand is a good thing because it cleans up the neighborhood. it makes it nice, but my heart goes out to the people who once lived here, who got moved down. because where does 4 people go? you know, they were for saturday, a neighborhood homes are gone. we of the country don't pay attention to
5:57 pm
the places where people live, the home will continue to go in circles and that really get to the root problem. ok. busy mm. when you look at a rain forest, you're seeing 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. and when you add up all of that, you have this massive, massive complexity. you compare that to say a cornfield. you have one species of plant complete monoculture. and what you see is a very efficient undertaking in a lot of corn and very small space. but you certainly don't have the complexity and the ability to thrive. a reinforced, ah, so what we did is we switch cities from being complex systems,
5:58 pm
the core i, you look back in history, in the way humans evolved along with the city. and what you see is that messing 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, this pattern of development has allowed it to be intentionally injury to pain and the hurt and the needs that go along and in all my places i use
5:59 pm
6:00 pm
i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the ah, top headlines are non t at a rocket strike in a residential area of cobbled kills at least 6 people with many more were injured. pentagon officials are saying a u. s. draw and hit a bomb laden truck carrying suicide bombers to the airport. meanwhile, the time about deployed extra security at campbell airport following horrific scenes earlier this week went up through 5 blocks killed, 170, including 30 and us marines.
