The team. From the living room. I was 18 counting the counter. He count this to feed here. Ive been doing real estate with him since now it was 2 so thats 16 years. After the l. A. Times article in the nightline piece all bad i remember us being just completely crazy busy i mean as great as it was it was such a blur. It was a blur. You think when i said who are you. I think that i dont know all the details im just saying blur meaning it was a blur time of my life well let me add some color because i remember im sure. The blog was run into i dont want to. Because of our connection to countrywide they started at least they had just applied to be one of the. December 2000 and. 900 square feet right across the street from the freeway one. So we call it retro order. Vintage. Lovely. If you. Are watching this video and your realtor. And youre saying wait a minute i represented the buyer when they paid a 1000000. I want to put your my tie down and go grab a shingle. Right now and you dont deserve to be licensed december 2006. If you want. To get fired. Im jim. Theres a lot of trust marketplace value could this be just a value bubble 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 isnt the evidence to help support them that i can say oh for sure its worth. Theres really i think some valid concern about valuations when the proof is so thin. Its always been a problem in this industry there is. Just one. And a way to determine what some is worth is look what other people paid off the other people were crazy. They were hoping to get 2000000. 00 for these appear you can see they built a handful of them and gave up and those are 5. 60 square foot alice. Everyone was going by the montra get in or you might get priced out forever because up to that point no one had seen any previous downturn just wasnt in the camera larry and nobody clinton realtors ever really thought a party is never going to end. I mean the thing about this is this is going to be used until i was the engineer it would design and layout to build this stuff. I would work on these Big Development projects sees would come to us we want this done weve gone 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 whats the cash flow that makes this all work i started to look at developments that i had worked on or near run some larger math problems. For example developer would come in and build the road the developer paid all the costs to build it people have been paying their taxes and the idea was they pay their taxes and then the government would fix this road. The cost was 3. 00 and 54000. 00 to fix that road we has a question. Ok based on the taxes the citys collecting from these people alone is going to take them to me to get the money they just spent. Dancer 79 years. As an engineer i knew that road was going to last 2025 years this doesnt make any sense. The growth creates what we call the illusion of wealth if you lose money on every transaction you dont make it up in volume. Where we have today. Were like way out here. You can look at the run up to the housing crash as a prime example everybody felt like what were doing ok because you know yeah i made 12000. 00 housing payments for my house went up by 40000 i cashed out the difference im doing fine heres centrally 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 year could classify as persistent poverty in 2010 it went from 1100 census tracks to 3300 census tracks 3 times the american geography is now in persistent poverty. Our places dont work theyre just designed to decline. If you dont know what was lost you dont look at the place and see like this is decline. 143 if youre 10 years 20 years 30 years older than me all you see is wounds. And so its really hard for you to get your mind out of that and actually see how this could be a better place. Now we have it all off guard and so weve made it right i dont know maybe the middle east is heartbreaking the midwest is heartbreaking of all the places this is one of the last ones i live in but its home and i. You know theres a part of me that loves it too like i look at it and im like i want to help this place i want to make it a moving little google street if you go yeah. That was. A man. After another and. Im educated enough to to know that i shouldnt talk about some things because im im i realize how ignorant i am 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 others start to move in whether the other is someone of a different race or someone of a different social class i think excite colleges is that theres a natural human tendency to circle the wagons and what zoning did is a good like this really wonderful tool to be able to write in a more camouflaged kind of racist way we dont want those people here. I think the irony today is that its also now trapped for white people their mechanics say as you go to why didnt they get out as for new break the lads. What is the america. For for the dollar you know things are. Going to fix my refrigerator my. You know cream abduljabbar said the hyper problem we had today is less race than it is poverty and i think use exactly right i mean theres a racial element to it but. Middle class whites will sacrifice poor whites too theres no racial loyalty theyre going to kick them to the curb. Been able to travel around the country to experience different communities its the same its 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 or we can can no longer cash out the equity when you can no longer get a car loan for the new car your world changes and your experience changes and america becomes like a really cruel place. Starting to see more and more that is a mainstream experience. When even the mission here and nobody else can even call it even if. You can create a social contract to make tons of promises we now live in the day when those promises are coming to you. And thats 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 didnt work. The world is driven by shaped by. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Tyson nation will community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallows. You know what i mean maybe out there seeing i dont think about it at all many roman not me and our power. I kind of were on the bishop on course if not the now i think its higher than our. Members of the africa mafia has promised them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. Leave they are enslaved they count speech util. Will not some of them leave be a mama not under. You know if this unit were going to go to him. Somebody. From the chain. They sold the. Lead. On court of the united for thought it was the persona that kevin thought all this cabin woman in. Baltimore. The citizens the way that is being read. Between 952000 baltimore lost 100000. So this is a negative aspect to people feeling like they have control over the systems of the lines. Are. Telling. Me. Not. To not find. Me again. Why. Not only this but they are you. That. We will build together court coming to when we build it it will be out. For coming to a vision for at the heart of a new World Headquarters for under armor an opportunity for all of baltimore. Misty the. Night Baltimore City council put the stamp. On the 660000000. 00 project the developer guaranteed the City Affordable Housing jobs and the investments are intended to have a mixed income Diverse Community their definition of Affordable Housing is affordable to families making about 70 1000. 00 per year so were saying is just cant build a community with people who are wealthy. You know. Its not helpful. But if only. Those neighborhoods do the still inequality now. Favor. And. Remember youre creating a strong. International marriage but we creating structural advantage in our way. Where we are today. It was until i got older and start to understand. Politics alone and more and at the same time i started. Big and said black history. About the things that america had done to. Step in a c. B. S. News best spectacular bouts we readily recognize that is right but we dont recognize what. We already know as leading people in environments where we dont see. The desk. I was sitting here watching the police in the children interact on the day april 27th 2050. The children were thorax the police door rocks back at the children in a vision the police you know theyre shooting were bullets and they deployed to get in at the moment they deplore that here. This im sitting here and i feel like this weight come right oh my chest and im like i cant breathe i can watch me work as a new sort of physiological reaction in my body. It really. Powerful turning point because everybody went over everybody went into the drawing rooms into activism work and voluntourism. So this is lets. Talk about here. Is the 1st. Part of this. Im originally from the green that area to me that small section of the neighborhood is everything because its a certain level of pain you 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 a state. I have. My little stamp you know. Its only thing for the last 2 digits of your. Song is really being you know to be connected to a neighborhood. But people outside of street dont understand all of this stuff is about a legacy. You dont really know where we come from we dont know our families so we decided you know st do you put you all into band street do is really the only entity that we run or we think we were going to say so from there the kids go up on a bunny you name what is your name what kind of name you want to leave your job to go and say thats a for thats a name a father left i mean i could go anywhere i want to is bottom line i have a problem because all my followers but because im not history do and its but i still carry those morals i got to leave my size. In a city. Block im trying to tell you might help a lot of people just by giving them places to stay and not to do. I know too much about real estate to get them into these homes. As. It was early seventys when he started. Which he did not. Have seen so much and its an amazing scene. From when i was young man coming to town neighborhood for me and its dangerous. And it removed and then i think. You know said many. People whove been here have been. Beaten up and title is so much. To be made it. Kind of manifested. So when you need to display your anger. It goes way beyond anybody to thank. The 3. Guys who just at the c. V. S. Are. Taking. Our. It would be. Easy to go. Into his life easier. For. Someone to stop it right here i just wanted you to see this piece 1st but i want to do Something Else and into. The young man was poking the water hose with a pocket knife. Why i want you to know that see im right there. Right damn. It 21 with no prizes as to is fighting 25 and he was trying to give me more time than i had been on earth. It was scary but it was eerily familiar because it felt like no matter what i accomplished in my life been the 1st person to go to College Graduate high school i felt like i was supposed to be there its kind of hard for you to take this stuff that we see here and translate it into the humanity of it as a person. A 1000000 got a 1000000. 00 in restitution. 100. 00 and that is 10000. 00 less anybody i know anybody had to live 10000. 00 less and that can lead us any time a recitation pay. While he. Cant unilaterally you said he said its sort of presentation pay these in a struggle they dont make the news these are the differences that make. People like myself turn off from everybody. You know what i mean because everybody has a share. When people make the claim of you know why would people burn in their own neighborhood but then you sort of live statement to sort of gloss over the fate that news labor has dont have this need to begin with. The one with the burned on their own community i mean it really isnt a community that theyve been able to have ownership in. Dont push me cause close to the black community and close to that is it and i think that is sort of why we see some of the prism you see. Happening may begin to understand that black lives matter but black lives dont matter if black neighborhoods dont matter. I came back yes subsequently when i was a police officer. And it was all bricked up all the windows to doors. Choice property now the. Chance for 5 you know gentrification i suppose on one hand is a good thing for sure 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 when those poor people go you know they were forced out enabled by their homes are gone. If we as a country dont Pay Attention to. The places where people the homes. That people. Will continue to go in circles and that really get to the root problem. When you look at a rain forest home youre seeing a very complex ecosystem. Not only do you have these massive trees but you have all the understory all the animals every day leaf has its own individual ecosystem and when you add up all that you have this massive massive complex and. You compare that to say a cornfield. You have one species of plant a complete monoculture. And what you see is a very efficient undertaking a truce a lot of corn in a very small space but you certainly dont have the complexity and the ability to thrive than a rain forest. So what we did is we switch cities from being complex systems to. You look back in history and the way humans evolved along with the city. And what you see is that messiness that 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 weve just completely lost. This pattern of development has allowed us to. Intentionally enrich. The pain and the hurt and the need said colin and all our places. Seems wrong. To shape our. Outlook. And in. The trail. To look for common ground. Secrets prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived weve been. There were 2 view houses were allowed to leave prison was located and the only people had access to the story for investigators l. Z. Uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. The great of nor. The full. Justice on r. T. Immediate environment used leak if you disagree with the official narrative youre called a conspiracy theorist never mind many a visual narrative actually more a conspiracy and is big war with party. No one i mean yet there are so. Many grown men now for. That kind of war i wonder. If it now i think its have enough. Members from africa mafias them safe and quick to europe but once they. Leave the cult speech. Will not some of them leave your mom and i couldnt you know. This you need to get it out. From the. Court of the. Making a stand against radicalism thousands rally across france in the wake of fridays brutal murder of a history teacher reportedly killed for showing his class controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad.
