So that church did you go directly to the chart in the greater toronto area, for example, in the last 30 years, housing prices have increased by 425 percent. Whereas in a similar 30 year period, average Family Income has only grown by a 133 percent. So Something Else is in play and clearly its not the economic fundamentals as you can see from the above graph. So are you going to send this or out or what 9 am . I would need to check the numbers 1st, but its pretty. I mean that its pretty grim. Ah, i think we are at an incredibly urgent moment. The extent to which where c urban ization collide with stagnant wages and a lack of affordability is unprecedented. So you have like poor people really struggling now like like never before. But then you also have the middle class is unable to afford to live in cities and provide the services that are necessary for a city. I dont wanna over use the word crisis, but it suggests a crisis. So then we start asking, wait a 2nd, whos going to live in cities . Who are cities for . Ah, its not Rocket Science enough. What do we think people need to have a dignified life . And its clear that decent Housing Affordable Housing is one of those things. And its supported by international law. Kennedy heights family is just hours away from learning whether or not they can stay in their home or be forced out on the streets. Problem housing is gobbling up more shrinking paychecks. People and 59 out of 102 Countries Worldwide would need to see their yearly income for at least 10 years in order to buy a house in their country. There are 2 histories we might say that intersect to day in that space that we call the city and one of them is a familiar aisha which is so what we have for which we have use a term gentrification. When i hear people today saying its gentrification, one reaction and ironic reaction is if only its much deeper. In fact, its much more foundational. Cool. A fill in even though so then either way i see of apple i then you to now i dont i were in the home of an older woman breaker. A is being pressured to abandon her home because in the midst of the Big New Development here, there was a hospital, its been demolished and it was demolished to make way for condominiums, luxury condominiums, and they dont even own this land. Ive heard that there are many units standing vacant already, luxury condos and loss because no one invoke body so can afford to buy and purchase any of these units. So these developments are clearly not for the people about 8th them. Mm hm. Oh yeah. You did in the for me, so it was, you dont know if you want it on a saturday, you know, having been only will the amended feed with them on the bus. And i know you would have a photo 100 right now. I can, i dont know, but it well, this is what im seeing happening around the world by and up of land, the displacement of the poorest people. And the putting up of luxury in that are not actually for the people who live in the community. I own a person on the contact room for no being to conduct their stuff. I you hate us on the 10th or the demo. You know, get a silly motion to my nightmare. Weve had no heat all through april, no hot water through april. Theres water leaking underneath the new owners and taken over. We havent met some, we havent seen them. We dont know anything. It could be frosty. The snowman. For all the new owners have taken over. We havent met some, we havent seen them. We dont know anything of it could be frosty, the snowman. For all, i know theyre trying everything. Do it to be sent off. I mean that you what, im what you bought it, as i mean actually been gang this is where i grew up now and i know ill be hell bent and bound if im going to be study here we go. All right, bye. Have a good. Thank you very much. Yeah, it was way out and maybe not. You know, when you go somewhere i want you to nottingham. Thing on like about this areas is the community, you know, your frames are all face or colors is one with the family because even if we dont know each other, we know of a by faith. I was born just 5 minutes from here and in the seventys and eightys in scene. Oh, area change of some pop stars and people moving into the area because they light, the vibe to live is really cool. The people seen the will. The film that come out from all around the world, they want to see where the blue doorways. They want to see this. That the bookshop, it became very, very trendy places to live. And then the new school near ledger center thats going to attract the wealthy people to come down to the area. And then they stop by and not properties that need to live there. But you know, because they saw fantastic investment for them better and put in the bank. So my 1st stop on the highlight tour of london to talk receive properties. These 2 properties are worth perhaps 20000000 pounds each. I believe theyd coming in the region of 40 or 50000000 pounds worth. If you could get a whole one of these, it would be 30 or 40000000 pounds and nobody lives here and nothing is itself has evaporated to leave the press offline 94. If i saw my fly, i could not live in caves and shall seek. Ill be forced out the area. And ill have to ask for the move out of london. I can stand in the middle of the street with empty car Parking Spaces all around me. And no traffic coming, the space is now a bit of a dead. So we very little indication of who the owners are. And a lot of them are completely empty. So if you cant go can ask them where they are, theyre actually just empty all the time. Ah one way of putting it is, this is not at all about housing. Ah, the buildings they function as, as you want those houses to be empty and unused. Because you can play with them in these dark empty buildings and they are making money. So when people think of poor investor, something went wrong. Hell know, oh, my 1st reaction to learning about this phenomenon, a vacant dwellings, i was pretty outreach. I remain outraged in human rights framework. And through the un system, its very clear who was accountable states state are responsible to have International Human rights obligations. They sign treaties. And they make commitments to the International Community that they will uphold International Human rights, which include the right adequate housing, elio and thats a real block off a bus to leave and call to my door. And then i open the front door as a blanket. Oh, black smoke disclosable. Very common thinking of is a fire. Ah, im with you right now is the beginning of the file weve still we need for 2 and a half hours. Thats the beginning. Thats ah. When i heard about it, i was in canada and watching it unfold through twitter and then i started getting these details. Social housing estate, marginalized community community, sat in a very rich, affluent burrow allegations of poor Housing Conditions from before the fire. Ah, can i see an arm here come through this month and kind of grant my wife and then another on the i was my come to to kind of grab myself said, how about my dog, my dog, the officer said no, im sorry. Were gonna have to go. So just look to my dog and i. Is this an amazing my dogs, my blood, my child is a to you o. B, who could loise hamilton the 2nd, but he chose his own name, given the options need, like louis oak saw his and then we will off into the darkness and then on going down and then on, treading on things free. Oh, there must have the water pipes already in the stairwell, but then the realization. Now i figured people off on treading on own im bodies on treading on something. Something this is that is in my way, i was actually quite happy when they put, clad in to make it pretty make it look nicest for the surrounding area. And somebody knew that a dirt on the cheek. There were these elements that seem to be a bit of a global phenomenon where you have a kind of vulnerable community, most of the people in the rental working, but theyre working poor literally living side by side with incredibly wealthy people. And i my credible amount of wealth, the tension between the 2. And then watching this fire, it was like a physical representation of the displacement of a community. For me, thats the narrative of the world right now. One of the, uh huh. One of the counselors, while the counselor said, if you cant live in knowing hell day should newton beam northville was will about to say several other did you get . Well go room. So hes not people that live there, old a lives. I just didnt want to. You like that me and this will limit make me sick. Youre going to why brief is tomorrow. Well just disregard them. Like they are rubbish. Like theyve that file. It has, but its like, it was like, you know, this is the richest town in the bargain. How can i help him . Oh, you have human rights obligations he and you cant let these investors and the Financial System run amok on its own. I see why human rights every Single Person has a bunch of rights. And then i have a question for you. And that is a, you are legal scholar on human rights. You just okay, yes. Her, you have the instrumentality. That is the law. Exactly. Because what i see is those with power board, can they deploy the law in ways that work for their stuff is happening . You know, ah, prices go up in a neighborhood that is fixed. Thats when the, everybody understands that part. And then they should understand that at that point, another actor might come into the picture, a monster that nobody can see. That nobody really understands whose language is incomprehensible. Who is this foster to what is happening here . Ah, i dont believe that capitalism itself is hugely problematic. Is unbridled capitalism in an area that is a human right . Problematic. Yes. And i think thats what differentiates housing as a commodity from gold. As the commodity gold is not a human right. Housing is ah, well talk with somebody minute. Wow. Yes, 7 to monday. Well, the previous landlords, i think was c a c d. I think they did put information up. Let a, let us know that the bill did the conflict is going to be sold. But this is before phil phil off here, who came it . You know, who is fairfield . I dont know who they are from what im told to pay a bill is a subsidiary of um is a black stone. Right. Private equity firm . Yes, exactly. They want to raise each, each carmine the rent up to like 900. 00 each. That is by 900. 00 by manage it. And are you going to be able to pay that . I dont know. I mean, i can definitely say next year it is, is no way we have one ago. I dont have a clue. I dont know. Right. And do you mind me asking, are you employed to say yes. And so what percentage of your income would this be 2590 percent 9190 assay glory yes. 9090 percent. And do you consider that affordable for you . And i think human rights law hasnt caught up and it worries me that i havent quite yet found the language. How do we describe it in a way that will make sense resonate and really get at that issue. Im still looking. Im looking for that. I feel a little bit desperate about that. So maybe i need to keep talking to the people in the financial field. Because tacos find out. I noticed when i came here was luther liberal admitted the Opening Hours the show with our finance look. They are willing to, to me from under this is 3 hours or week. Um, ill just i so every time an appointment is vacant, they thought they renovation, whereby lake and increase the rents. Wheeler of flee 50 percent. But these are increased. Rents have no connection at all to the actual costs. Why this is very, very profitable for them. New finance is very different from the bank. We only banks, thats fine. Its you know, its sell something. We pay money for. Finance is totally different. I always say finance or something, it does not and that means that finance is basically an extract extract finance. Its like mining once it has extracted what it needs, it doesnt care what happens with the rest the value of all real estate, that functions as an asset is 217. 00 trillion dollars. Thats more than global g, d, p of all the countries in the world of all the economies in the world. Ah, theyre highly kennel flashed extractions because they come in the shape of extraordinarily complex instruments. But nobody whos not in that business can understand it. So complex that we delegate to the experts who are the experts, is the Financial Sector itself. Cyprus, a european island openly offering citizenship to those who can afford it. In august al jazeera, made global headlines with the cypress papers, confidential documents that reveal a murky passport by investment scheme. Barbie support.

Spain has seen some of the worst fires on the continent. More than 220 square kilometers of forest have been torched temperatures. A soaring across the continent, breaking records and prompting heat warnings. Authorities in the u. K. Say that temperatures could top 40 degrees for the 1st time ever on tuesday. Humans extra general antonio terrace says the time is now to take Decisive Action against the Climate Crisis facing our planet. 8 months ago we left cop 26 with 1. 5 degrees on life support. Since then, its pulse as we can further it. Greenhouse gas concentrations, Sea Level Rise and ocean heat have broken new records off of humanity is the danger zone from floods that obs, extreme stores and wildfires. No nation is immune. Yet we continued to few though of fossil fuel addiction. What troubles me most is that in facing these rural crises, we are failing to Work Together as a multilateral community. A deal between protest is and the government and panama has collapsed. The government had agreed to cut the price of fuel, but protest is a calling for more concessions is anger against high fuel prices and corruption. There increasing pressure by blocking parts of the pan american highway. At a 6 civilians have been killed by russian shelling in the east in ukrainian town of toilets.

Mister penney more dumps and foreign secretary this troth, former qualities minister, kimmy bad noch, also made it through to another rounds, but back pension p tom to the heart was knocked out of the running. Those were headlines and use continues here on al jazeera right after witness. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye you. Ill see you and ryan les cars come on being with the largest Real Estate Private equity firm in the world. Weve got investments and people around the globe, but by keeping our business entrepreneurial we can move very, very quickly. John gray, i said global head of real estate for blackstone group, which is the Worlds Largest private equity manager. So one of the market you went into was a Single Family homes, and i know you have a big portfolio at 50000 or yes. So how do you even find 50000 . Yeah, the buyer. You need a, a Global Financial crisis for that to occur. Youre sitting around in 2011. Youre saying, where is there a large pool of assets that are going to be sold by Financial Institutions at big discounts to underlying replacement costs. And it was pretty obvious. It was Single Family homes would spend 25000. 00 or so fixing them up. And then lets random out and make income producing assets out of them like an apartment business, but just not in one large complex. But if we do it in enough scale, i was just poking around, trying to get my head around some of the stuff around hedge funds and buying app distress, mortgages and all of that. And i went on to the blackstone website, i, ive worked with bruce for more than 20 years. Hes an advocate and i think so differently than anyone i know. So basically buy up the whole neighborhood, gentrify the whole thing. Mm hm. Double or triple the value of the real estate, just because youve jumped in for the neighborhood. Of course, everybody else and makes no mention of people really at least at least that by minute. 16 and a half. He hasnt mentioned like the people that would be living in those places. We own Properties Around the globe. We buy these investments on behalf of a companys life wax only for any the big Financial Enterprises were the big winners in the crisis. They were the big winners in the housing market. There rose in big winners in the equity markets. It was as if the u. S. Government, rather than helping the homeowners who were losing their homes, actually sided with the banks, encouraged foreclosures to clean up, the books, gave them money to hedge funds in and private equity firms, who then bought the, the distressed assets to make money. So it is the way that the 2000 a crisis has played an important role, increasing wealth inequality in United States and, and other countries that have been afflicted by the crisis. It doesnt totally work as the statement yet. Let me give you a snapshot of the new world of housing. And while i do so, i urge you to reflect on the images behind me. Just like that. Like i can remember how we did it with the homelessness report. But i remember when i was re reading my statement, i did have that if a pin dropped, we would have heard it in the room. And thats what i need because they know half the time theyre on their blackberries and not paying attention. When theyre, i phones i suppose now, you know, i mean homelessness is a bit different to, you know, were seeing images of people. And part of the problem then is that when youre describing the stuff is supposed to be shocking, its all cranes and buildings of glass and stuff. And so youre not moved to the same one. Distinguished delegates. We are living in a new world, a world in which the housing sector has been transformed by Global Corporate financial actors and massive amounts of excess global capital. Global Residential Real Estate is now valued at 163. 00 trillion dollars. More than twice the worlds total g, d. P. Housing has been financial ised valued as a commodity rather than a human dwelling. What i am suggesting is a significant change away from the commodification of housing in order to retrieve what housing means in terms of Human Dignity and security as a lived experience, as a human right. Thank you. And and, and, and, and, and a little thing for the near buildings, the new estate which is now called elephant park, which replaces the hager state where i used to live with so many, all of them plenty of flat is part of the development sold and home common singapore, when thats owned overseas and not necessarily so for people to live in the soldiers invest wouldnt like to sort of romanticize what it was like before. Right. But it was an ordinary counsel, despite all to ordinary families, and it was at this time a day, most of them would be enough to walk and off to school, read to college and so on. Were dealing with a very its a very particular the least feel free to violate basic laws and ah, and then theyre surprised that there is bitterness among the the working classes that have lost an incredible gra, i mean a lot of ground in our society. So its a tough moment and following the money, brings up a lot of very substantial reasons as to why people are so angry, they dont know exactly. They dont have the knowledge, but they know that something is not right. My own work was concern about asymmetries of information. The fact that some people know things that other people dont. And that gives some people the ability to take advantage of others. Ah, you can make more money. Not by making a better product on lowering cost to production, which is a standard economic analysis. But by fishing for fools looking for people you can take advantage of or not creating wealth or actually just taking wealth. If youre somebody like they had a blackstone, i heard of talk about the big advantages of no regulation of deregulation. Course, he wants to be able to exploit the people who are living in his properties. Ah will left hand corner yet one flag was then i say bought my flat. So i own that flat unpaid, my more kids. The problem is the price is round here and out for a in a ground floor. Any, any flat round here it is ex dosma. Yeah. And they wanted to give us like a little bit of money. I say of you go, but then ill have to move out of london. So i decided to stay with friends. Most of the people that lived in that town block a still not been homes 9 months later, 9 months later, i am now in a hostile it, the place that they could offer me could be anywhere in the country. And if i dont accept say i become intentionally homeless anywhere in the country. Well, yeah, i mean, it could be birmingham, it could be manchester anyway. If you can treat people all star a tragedy like that, the way theyre treating them now will help as anyone have ah, was picture myself like im 5 foot to, im from this like nowhere place. And im trying to make a huge difference globally. Im trying to change an entire conversation thats embedded in the way people live all around the world. And then i look back at that girl from ottawa, im sitting in her Basement Office and its like, what am i thinking like, am i is this when calculus . Am i being ridiculous to a, it is a totally dysfunctional system. So in the late 19 seventys 19 eighties, theyre developed and ive called an ideology or religion that merge you solve all problems with still the big winners to still be big loose in the name of the common should the winnings be redistributed to the losers to the end, if everybody ends up where he started, it would take a little fun out of the game. The high priest was built friedman. The big experiment was chilly, underpin oshea, it took their dictator to really implement these ideas. They thought that if we privatized to way regulations, lower taxes, growth would go up, everybody would get more. Some people get a lot more at the top. But putting aside envy, everybody would get a bigger piece of the pie. Ah, it ignored the many instances where markets do not work well. It was so military freeman gave them economic argument for why they should be unconcerned about morality. After a 3rd of a century of this experiment, we know that its wrong that you can make money by destroying the world. And theres something wrong with ah ah, if were going to defend the cities as we know them, i cant do it alone. I decided to create a new movement called the shift so that we can come up with ideas of how to protect our cities. So its not an engine movement. Its not a movement of just cities. Ah, its a movement hopefully of all stakeholders. You know, although i dont getting to be launching the ship here in barcelona, where the effects of Financial Aid station have taken hold and where there is a mayor like out of collapse. I hired a young woman, julie, who had a background in International Human rights law. These things move them up. One 3rd of desk worldwide are linked to poverty and inadequate housing. Yeah. A World Wide Movement to reclaim and realize the fundamental right to housing and bring people far thought of the export. That if he knows that i feel them or helena, if the quality on gonna be be in the lessons if he got the own, you know, but i see there was gram this. Got the dallas, get come up with this. And this embark on in most of us you that but as i got maxine was when, if you see us acosta, this pick will are gonna be in the premium if he doesnt look like im, ive been looking at them. Blackstone, the largest private equity firm. They have more power than this. They know, how are you . Yeah, you know exactly. Youre crying when we have some of these pounds trying to speculate on the say they want to buy it a building. You buy it for you, but we do it because we have money im. Its a lot of me because i like that. That can be expensive. Im interested to know how the investor is vulture, funds the hedge funds, air b and b are reacting to what youre doing in the m b. If were premier or next year. Normally we ludo moments. We had a stable bucket not supported a, some, some groups acting like authentic my fears right now with ada. Dont get that women children. And to have that moment to where you can talk about your kids and talk about changing the world. One press to another b like so tiny before we got here. And now if i like the mayor bite on i so the question is a big question. Are you out for it now im ok. Ah. The big private equity, it has taken me some time to ask the question, where are they getting their money from . Ah, Pension Funds have a huge amount of money and they need to grow in order to make sure that the people who pay in to the pension fund has something to live on. At the end of their working life. I mission to south korea was grand. Well, before i had this one piece of information, but some of the largest Pension Funds are right here at the National Pension service, is the 3rd Largest Pension Fund in the world. It was one of the poorest countries. And now in the 11th largest economy in the world, in 50 years, thats pretty impressive. But of course, to make that happen in a 50 year period required a kind of brutal ism of massive development. You have to come with a more difficult so know how to go. You know to you to pick you thought you i always will. You said you will do is a will close. The dessert is what we want. New york. What hold on, do you do . You repaired, you long time, little for to go. Good love on your could you wonder how much of a little you will lose nobody. Unfortunately, we checked out a lot from your door. The little the pedal tug will go in there. Im repetitive. Oh no one seems to know that thats where their pension money is going. No one seems to really care. I did speak with a couple of representatives from the National Pension service and they were pretty matter of fact at 1st about you know what they had, what their job is and i get it. Their job is to grow money for pensioners. We give our money to asset managers, and they then decides, or where it gets at best day ended so distancing themselves from it. So in other words, it doesnt really matter where the pension moneys going, as long as its a good return. National and city governments in south korea need to make some major shifts before they will be in full compliance with their human rights obligations. You know, human rights law is very specific about those types of projects, forced eviction under International Human rights is considered a growth, violation of human rights. People die enforced evictions. And peoples lives are basically ruined. So its not to be taken lightly. Ah, poor issues, you know, Climate Change housing, they ought to be bedded into the fiduciary frameworks of ancient farms. Pension funds are representing people who are going to retire in a you have to ask, how would they feel about this . Would they feel comfortable with ody shares and a company that is that immoral . Ah, ive lived there 38 years. Ive paid my rent for 38 years and theyre supposed to upkeep the building. Theyre supposed to do stuff, but the management company, as i readily admitted, theres been nothing done for 40 years. So where is all that money ive already spent . And now the new Company Wants me to give them more money. Its a familiar story, but yeah, the same situation is the same situation we were dealing with here. So yeah, the talk of the media. And this is how we won the red strike record here in the 1st month of the ranch strike. And we were, we went in the month floor, so its a benourla hall that its worth all your time and effort.
