particularly in her own own neighborhood of greenwich those. when she was there it was affordable to middle income couples like herself, like her own family. what middle income households can afford a town house in greenwich village today? preservation, the vast district has helped make that happen. it's a great irony that progressive states like new york and massachusetts and california, which allegedly care so much about providing affordable housing for people, to such a bad job of the relative to texas. and yet it is a great job of it. it is a great job of it by unleashing the builders. the ability of relatively unfettered construction to deliver the space that people need is one of the sort of important lessons i am trying to get across in the book. there are many reasons why the city should have, should be relatively unleashed, but there's one reason i emphasize in the book, which is the greenest of cities. i want to lead into this with a little story about a young harvard graduate in 1844 who went for a walk in the woods outside of concor

people up in greenwich going for three and 50, right. >> yes, exactly. >> charlie: what do you make about the inside trading scandal. >> i think it's a disgrace and it's a tragedy for all of us in the business that people and the public are to a certain extent are losing faith in the fairness of the market. and this flash trading and the flash crash we had. those are really bad things, really bad things. >> and both, and the enforcement agencies of the government failed us in 2008? >> yes. >> charlie: the rating companies failed us in 2008. >> the whole system failed us, yes. >> charlie: and are you admiring of the work done by paulson and bernanke and geithner and geithner and paulson and summers. >> yes, i'm a big fan of bernanke and a big fan of geithner. in the eye of the storm they did right thing. i just hope the government doesn't back off now. this whole thing with debit cards is a sign that maybe not the government but really congress, is congress going to allow the banking hobbyists to keep charging high percentage on the credit cards. >> charlie: this is the lobbying done by wa

that people were looking to basically throw it in the back of a u-haul and take it to their home in greenwich i feared very much that one of the super wealthy of our time would treat this as a transportable trophy piece of art. >> baer: sotheby's even made the portability of the farnsworth house a selling point by posting on its website this 3-d animation of the home being dismantled. move the farnsworth house out of illinois? >> i think it would be a little bit awkward, if not ridiculous, to put that house where it never floods and nobody would understand why it's on stilts. >> the essence of the house is its transparency to this site. >> if the building were removed from this site, it simply wouldn't make any sense anymore. >> baer: for the preservationists, it was a call to battle. >> there were sort of two people that came to our rescue when the issue of the portability of the house came out. one group were art collectors, art dealers, people in the architectural world who had a lot of money. but there was another group of people, mainly businessmen in chicago, who viewed this as an issue
