And it means so much to me is everything to me. From by myself i tend to savor it. So peaceful can i do to be walk around im on the way im going to defer to get that some apple juice is going out on the porch and smoke a cigarette. You know is find a reason to snap out of it. So he would only be aging so long. Its not fun when you leave and go home and. In fact i wouldnt call the trenches. From the thirtys onward every single president has spoken of homeownership almost as the basis of citizenship your ability to own a home kind of makes us citizen the most tangible cornerstone that lies at the heart of the American Dream and thats the chance to own your own home those of us whove been given positions of responsibility must do everything we can to spotlight to dream to make sure that dream shines in all neighborhoods. Across the country i say to millions of young working couples by the time your children are ready to start the 1st grade we want you to be able to. Home. To be secure in their home and. People need to. Make. A. Lot more. Im jim the realtor heres some tips for home buyers number one work with a great realtor a good realtor sells a least one house a month check their sales history on selo. Americans. Buying homes in Southern California especially we dig real estate and we forgot about the bubble and all the other trouble the financing and everything else. And here we are right back at it frenzied up 51015 buyers for every house like none of that ever happened. To. The 800 video. I document the Real Estate Market on you tube i got almost 1500 you tube was. Going to give people really good sense of whats happening. I mean sure of this that today that house sold for 1. 6. 1 point one im just indians here. Point 4. 585. I dont know what to say. But its going to work. I dont know what the heck it is the dollhouse. Pool in the front yard. Slightly unfinished. Firepit. Why its stealing the trick to get me all the other appliances all stolen. What could have been so nice about those pillars that they had to steal this and im not sure. Theres. 15 houses on this street. I think it was. At least 8 of them had loans way over a 1000000 but if youre sitting on a 1. 2 or 1. 4 loan and you see houses listed for. 585 they can make you feel about. Making that next payment. So what we saw in 2008 was the unwinding of the Housing Finance system what most people understand as a financial crisis or a problem of our Housing Stock actually is on wanted to get a social contract that was built in the 1940 s. And so understanding that and how the American Home was the basis of how we organize the economy and how we organize social stability is an important part of understanding why we are where we are now. I dont. Know thank you used to be. Many years ago. I. Was. Born here many years ago and they used to be. Around here someplace you know when. I was converted. That used to be a tiny tiny. Let me just check up a little bit. Of the punch. When i was 6 months old we moved from little italy in manhattan. There was a Housing Project in one night my uncle frank was white and. Came down. And. And they walked past us and said to my father get this kid this neighborhood. And it was not that long after that that we. Least. 38. 1000. Here. But what i love about this town is. What i consider to be. People like us who go. Down. Nation no but everybody thought it was going to fail because he built 10000 and it is like that. Coming out of the 2nd world war the idea of mass production became something that was truly a reality a. Look. All new world. The idea that came to a man named bill levitt what this wind up mass produced the elements that go to make up all the Auto Industry does with the parts that go into a new law. When i was living there it was at a very particular moment and that was coming out of postwar trajectory and that created the need for that type of housing. Returning to that you can house friends little as a 100. 00 down and that 99. 00 and im not as pretty as the federal government was insuring your market. You had the g. I. Bill in turns in construction of new homes so the whole idea is your government wants you to have a home so this was an easy way to sort of jumpstart the housing industry and make homeownership possible without those subsidies lower middle class families could never been able to afford to massive movements into the suburbs that we saw in the late 1940 s. 1950 s. Soon to be 966. I was a Police Officer in the National County and we were the swat team as well. Who im going through and you know destroy about sticking it. In the middle of the windows i did i did it. Right on that where. I swear to god i didnt. If you couldnt afford to. Put a down payment. That they would let you let them. What the option to buy into it. But if it does im. Proud to own the building from the world but all it might take an awful lot of doing we had to start from scratch with absolutely no everything out to be dont want if you go back to William Levitt he said no man who owns his own home and lot can be a communist because he has too much to do. This was a fundamental part of how our Political Leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a home right i mean after work there are 30 or jobs that go along with it that match the 30 year mortgage and then youll rebel right as the things you dont revolt if you have a stake in the system. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being. Direct. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Of the shallowness. Secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 song there were 2 view houses were. Prison was located and the only. Access to the story for investigators sure l. Z. Uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. The great of nor. For. Trying for justice. Then whos going to report on one of the most unusual diplomatic events in recent history was thats said the kitchenette mates are less famous now mass in the history of postwar housing or. As say sickly next and same to christian of that the strength of the American Economy is the postwar home and the ability of americans to purchase consumer durables to fill it so lets compete not even a system that will give the people more good will be a better system and this one particular moment nixon was right. This was the strength and the American Economy. I can remember even as a kid looking at house magazines and seeing the incredible visions of the future that house represented in those pages was something that you could aspire to and that was starting to become a reality. Wonder what it would be to come out by. The house of 99 to. Be virtually made plans for 5. 3. Life will be richer. As face age dreams come true. Feel the pressure. To. Get my. Feet. Below. 45 minutes ive got a point. If only restate. That levy did. The only thing that never did that would be the 1st one to admit. No blacks allowed. On black. And that. Is just. Some fighting alongside a black man willing to die for his country. And he can buy a house next to me and live again. And then i dont make any sense. Now we were looking for a place. Where we like. No other city. And we understood that it was going to be all right were very happy to. Know when you come to this neighborhood you know in me too deep its different. Than nonchalant. Theres no real fences it gives you a feeling like the setting. Just because i was struck by how familiar it felt it was a connection to levittown that they both developed as postwar suburbs. I believe going in he built these houses he really built these houses for the veterans coming home from the war it was hard for him to get financing for these houses because they were so different the whole social part was his design. And. I shouldnt even dont im not even going to open oh he was a socialist and i think a lot of people the mood in here well im going to get into this. My father is gregory again a fairly well known california architect from the fortys and fiftys. So this is the letters. To say i just came into my hotel room from an interesting and unexpected visit to the basement drafting rooms that yeah why didnt have to tell of johnsons jewel that new canaan he is a real fascist intellectual. I started running through some old papers and then i came across this no 200 page 100 he had 200 page file that the f. B. I. Kept on and then they were watching everything he did from the mid fortys to the mid fiftys. Gregory believes that decent housing should be their right and everyone not just the privileged very wealthy people. Watching 12 percent of the population is black there should be a lot of black families living out here yeah this is only a beginning but i think its wonderful well lets see how wonderful it is what i want to bellow winds come flying out. There my olds. The neighborhood was supposed to be twice as large the plants was 400. 00 homes and only 52. 00 were built the f. H. A. At that time didnt think that enter graded neighborhoods would. Attractive to the general public and theyre providing mortgage insurance and in their minds for that would bring down the value of the homes. You know most people in america the value of those homes and parents passing that on to their children that made the biggest difference africanamericans were left out and that. That inability to protests have paid and what created american middle class has a lot to do with the problems we have now. Would. Be really interesting to dial back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the United States not just that question of the American Dream but the bigger question of who the dream has been for. So. Its. Being. All. Possible is a beautiful little city with a lot of bad habits. The house is a beautiful. House. I dont really understand how segregated the city was because i never left. My days in the house for a week. And complex. Really. Decent. Night it was fun when i got back to. Somewhere for a week just to get the house together. So many neighborhoods. This neighborhood still pretty much put the same. Vacant we used to go. From. Its rather hard to go on and fight every day before they got a big. You know a jam packed. Show as. You say. Baltimore is a microcosm of many urban areas in america and it is like dickens would say the tale of 2 cities. You have great investments in certain parts of town and other and looking like a ghost town. Anyways the ground 0 for racial apartheid in america. Where racial zoning was. Racially richard 2 covenants were also created here. We have a myth in this country that the reason neighborhoods are segregated is because people like to live with one another who are of the same race or because africanamericans have too little income to move into white neighborhoods or because this private prejudice that prevents africanamericans from buying homes in white neighborhoods and thats all true but its a tiny tiny part of the truth. Theres intentionality with the capital decisions that were made around housing in the fortys and in the fiftys and i think people are a lot to sleep thinking that certain things happen by default rather than by design you have the if its in the federal Housing Administration a Veterans Administration they subsidize Home Building in the suburbs and then they say is racially exclusive it means white people can move out to these areas but black people. What is probably a surprise a lot of people is that red lining is created by. The federal government. Thats when the white bank is drawing red lines around black berries and dont give up no green. Immediate environment leak if you disagree with the official narrative youre told a conspiracy theorist never mind many of visual narratives and actually more of a conspiracy and is big war with. The single greatest most important aspect of any functioning society is price discovery price discovery more so than any moral or aesthetic or ethical. Kind of rules because without sound money without some price discovery you dont have a society full stop. You know what im going to get there so i dont think about it i dont mean a grown man now. I kind of but i wonder. If they now want think its higher than the. Members of the african mafia is safe. To europe but once they. Leave the cult speech util. Will not some of the lead be a mom and i couldnt you know if this unit can get it out in. The soil the. Core of the. Coubertin woman then youre. Taking 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.
