Given to masses prevent discrimination but to actually affirmatively go out and say how do we do. It so the government betrays. I find as i travel across the country that. Whether were talking about white americans or people who may be robot and other minority groups like the mexican americans i rest. Just like the black americans what everybody wants is an equal chance to have a piece of the action that the federal government has never enforced the Fair Housing Act and that state and local governments do not enforce the. Federal policy but its the local administration of these policies that are off to move people recede discriminatory treatment. Yes hello my name is graham wellington and im calling about the apartment around on park street vailable. But it is really so what does this mean it means the places that were segregated in the thirtys fortys and fiftys there are still racially segregated today because we havent done anything to undo the racial segregation. Of the town today is 95 percent white very few minority families living there. When fix the damage that was done we just allowed all those inequalities to continue but said from this day forward we cant discriminate sell it and fix it all of these policies and practices these systems. Federal government State Government local government. They converge to sort of create concentrated poverty by the time we reach the fiftys and sixtys so that creates a situation where many urban areas you have like what George Clooney would call you know chocolate cities in the little suburbs. They still call it the white house but thats a temporary. Theres a lot of the city. Weve got to get yeah every time i dont need to get. Working on. A unit you know you will be. You you. Can trust him to tell you. There is no clue gram a promise that a president can take thank the federal government cant come in the any way they wanted to do that yes. Listening to. The condition of black veterans and white trans diversion even though. They returned from the war they were economically similar families. Public housing then became a black phenomenon. People who fall into this category they have to wear. It. Its. Not any kind of nature. Down on people constantly. Cities didnt adequately service neighborhoods that were heavily concentrated with africanamericans garbage collection wasnt a picked up as frequently streets were it repair this well the conditions deteriorated and the urban areas became slums. You know i would like to rub americas nose in this is say take a look at it if you want to reject it boy but i certainly would it would hate to think that anybody thought i said they were giving up hope what im really saying is the society has failed the hope of the people who live here and struggle you know thats what im really saying theyre going to go on struggling anyway whether we fail or succeed. At the same time you have concentration you also have clearance you have how a structure which is destroying black communities i would use oftentimes in urban areas a built did in the middle of black communities so theres a sort of rising anger frustration that explains. Well once they became slums sardis looked at them and said well we need to do some slum clearance. Were all those black people and all those bogey is where they gone up root in our neighborhood messing with our unity it takes 10 years to really reach israel they know what to do in a systematic genocide. Systematic as well as African American families who were displaced had to move somewhere so those families were given section 8 housing vouchers the idea behind section 8 is fabulous its exactly what one would hope is that people who are impoverished have an opportunity to move into neighborhoods that are not impoverished unfortunately for black americans it doesnt work that way. A large reason for that is you can still legally discriminate against someone for using a section 8 voucher so landlords and most suburbs would not accept section 8 housing factors and thats perfectly legal. White homeowners deathly afraid of a black person movie makes them because blackness is associated with lower home values we share your presence in the neighborhood c c dont undermine the value of our own and were concerned wed like you to move out before it becomes Common Knowledge that theres a family in the area. Its nothing personal oh oh it never really is it was tercel but i feel real that we grew up in philadelphia actually originally and we were in an all black neighborhood in my life changed when we moved to south jersey not far from some of the levittown type of neighborhoods and when we came in the police had to come in with us because people were throwing things at our house and terrorizing our house at night. And we moved there because we wanted a place that was integrated and we just wanted to raise our standard of living and it was the strength of my parents that said this is where were going to be. Do you think moving here will affect the community as a whole. Definitely in what way i can get all the Property Values what i mean to go down if they are allowed to move in here in any numbers do you think them are 11 Property Values. I dont think. Property. And i think purely i would. Not wrap them. Well as a result of all these policies we created a segregated system and because we forgot now this entire history of how it happened white families believe that they got where they are simply by their own hard work and determination to succeed in the middle class life. But they dont understand. Is that their parents could have came as an immigrant from a white country and immediately had access to loans and the ability to move into white neighborhoods and black americans whose families had been citizens for generations could not. And sell its not saying that their families didnt work hard but it is saying that their families benefit from a great deal of affirmative action to get where they are it is white americans dont see what its like to live in these communities. And so because of that they are unable to connect with what it is like to be in these areas that have been deprived of every type of opportunity. Now how do these communities get seen. They go for decades in these festering situations. In segregated communities that have been completely abandoned. And suddenly we see them only when they burn something to the limit. Like condition that. Even one limited. To what it is. But. Very. Bad luck. If were to do something about the day the faces no. It shouldnt be that hard to understand why that becomes kind of the ultimate outcry because its the only way that these clues become visible to most americans. Seem wrong. To me. To shape out just to become educated and in. The trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. In the 1920 s. And thirtys several 100 africanamericans moved to the city of the union and many of their descendants still live in russia. Again at the risk of no no rush but also up at a stop yes it. Will cyclone things on their way. Back home but i can merican suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. Is that not the smug that hell be a losing one by elsa store on her by doing.

A little bit about our organization strong towns our ization is now evolved into a National Movement of people trying to reconfigure their communities to be more financially sound. Post world war 2 america the financing mechanisms of it act very much like a ponzi scheme you had this immediate sugar high with this. Long term liability kind of hanging out there in the future and the last generation standings the one thats going to pick up the bill. We prayed on our fellow americans just so we could keep the growth and nobody stopped to consider the impact that this was going to have on real people and real families. Finding foreclosures. I just saw that. Trade in the United States was a real estate so i was determined. That. It was so much fun and when we were making Money Company had season tickets to the lakers right behind. Leonardo dicaprio literally right in front of us and when he used to date. 15 years old right in front of hair is hanging over the back of her seat. That. He starts playing with. Anyway. Theres a new product that started to flood the market 125 percent. And when i 1st started seeing i said this is a recipe for disaster. Or with too many bills or too many interest monthly payments. Mortgage to 120 percent of the value or less your mortgage they went after the payment. They did they get a 50000. 00. A month. That. Wasnt a Home Improvement it was a signature along if you could do whatever you want i just thought it was an exceedingly irresponsible. Loan product. I took advantage of me. Taking someone come on. Mikey through. A set of eyes no no. The lenders got greedy and they figured ok we exhausted the 125. 00 potential pool. Lets go make it super easy to get purchase money now if you were to ask me what the perfect credentials are to qualify for a home loan i honestly couldnt tell you may i help you sir i. Need a quick answer on a new home loan. Stated income stated employment stated stated stated which means whatever the borrower says is factual is recently as 1997 you had to put 20 percent down and he had to struggle to save that kind of money if asked for 5 years and a busboy from a local coffee shop can buy the same house for nothing you have to verify your Credit History credit we dont have it if we cant pay cash we do without. What you say. You could run the entire American Economy i mean where would this country be able to know more than we could pay back. In order for the house of cards to stay standing it has to get bigger so the guy thats in the 3 better one and a half bath house hes got to move up to the floor better to bath house. To house the car just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and its just all on fake valuations. Yeah at that point the home did absolutely become a vehicle for excess prices rising from the case shiller index i look at it on there and i say yes this looks good its much better than expected you look at the number and say. Nobody knows where home prices are going to do. People are increasingly speculative when they buy a house a major concern is how much can i sell this to someone else at the other end it can be called the greater fool theory maybe im a fool the buys thats a big house but im going to. To an even greater fool. There were people who thought 50 or 100 years ago that home prices should decline with. The reason is they wear out. Dont expect to gain the expected to lose value that was a common view in the past. We have come as a society to place a tremendous amount of value on the home itself. And the bigger the home the better. Its interesting because living in the houses were meant to evolve and change as families evolved and changed over time. The idea was that this home would be liveable all your life you could have one bedroom or 3 bedrooms to pending on what your needs were at the time and this area was an extension of the living room or it could be closed off and become a bed very. Close here. As youre going to be enclosed here. You might enter. Hall. So i have a. Better hallway know where all the entrances are to the better ones so it could be a one bedroom or 3 bedroom right now we create that one bedroom here and there really are one bedroom that could be partitioned with a rolling wall so it will become 2 bedrooms. There was an extension of the dynamic coming out of postwar idea of what the house provided wasnt really about the upscaling or the supersizing of the house consider that relationship between the growth. Of the physical house was still somehow in balance subsequently people began to make the scale shift where the houses became just words. Im in love with this. Hope in a fight because. I dont think it is. Something a 5000 square feet on one staircase theyre going to fizzle out their kids. Feel like its very attractive. To see that. Its really more suited for grandma she doesnt really want to have a deep. Think it means 12 foot ceilings on a mcmansion theyre going the way that. People want to buy what they need and they dont want any extra and this has so much Square Footage of wasted space. They might get away with one more sale but in the years to come its going to be tougher and tougher. On. Theres just tremendous economic dependence on this idea that we can keep. Lots and they have to keep marching across the landscape because its a huge part of the economy depends on being. Told. Yes so our Property Line is just basically the white picket fence all the way around. Back up to there. So were going to. Much. So this whole. Industry of easy quick money for property did not end at the retail borrower. The developers were exposed to these funds. Companies were going in and buying up swaths of land from these farmers at ridiculous prices just given them enough money for their great grandchildren to retire and it was just so hard to say no. To me and thats where you see all of the citrus farms in the inland empire gone. In of course the cities were lovely because the tax base is on a Real Property with a house on it is far higher than firmly. The cities are seeing their tax base. Toppled literally overnight. The developments stops. You know what i mean maybe at their school i dont think about it i dont mean a grown man now. I kind of were on that ship on course if im not it now one that gets out of enough. Members of the africa mafias always them safe and quick to europe but once they.
