IT IS TURNING UP ON “” THE LAURA FLANDERS PROGRAM.”” WELCOME. ♪ [THEME MUSIC] ♪ >> > > REAL ESTATE ANXIETY IS A PART OF LIFE FOR MANY MILLIONS. IF A PERSON ISN'' T EXPERIENCING IT THEY LIKELY KNOW A PERSON THAT IS, SO STATES A BRAND-NEW REPORT BY THE HOMES FOR ALL CAMPAIGN. YEARS OF LEAVING MATTERS OF HOUSING TO THE MARKET OR TO THE POLITICAL LEADERS OR LANDLORDS SIMPLY IS NOT GETTING REAL ESTATE. A BRAND-NEW LAND OWNERSHIP FRAMEWORK MIGHT HELP. VERSIONS EXIST BELOW AND ALSO WORLDWIDE. NEW YORK CITY CITY MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO HAS WAS PUT SOME FINANCING BEHIND NEW COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS.THE BRITISH
LABOR PARTY'' S HOUSING PLAN INCLUDES A MILLION NEW HOMES AS WELL AS COST DEFINED BY PREVAILING EARNINGS, NOT RENTS. IN LOTS OF PLACES, THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR. BY WHAT CRITERIA SHOULD HOUSING POLICIES BE JUDGED? OUR GUESTS KNOW THIS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. GIANPAOLO BAIOCCHI IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE URBAN DEMOCRACY LAB AT NYU AND ALSO THE LEAD WRITER OF THE AREAS OVER COMMODITIES RECORD. MONIQUE GEORGE IS THE EXECUTIVE SUPERVISOR OF PICTURE THE HOMELESS WHICH WAS REALLY INCLUDED IN THIS RECORD. SHE EXPLAINS HERSELF AS THE HONORED ITEM OF PUBLIC HOUSING.GLAD TO HAVE YOU. WHEN YOU STATE NEIGHBORHOODS OVER COMMODITIES, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? >> > > IN THIS RECORD, WE INTENDED TO ANALYZE THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE BEEN HAVING AMONG SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND ADVOCATES OF HOUSING. THINK BROAD VIEW, WHAT DO WE STAND FOR? WHAT TYPE OF REAL ESTATE DO WE WANT. IT BOILED DOWN TO A VALUES INQUIRY. WE BELIEVE HOUSING IS A. OUR TEAM BELIEVE COMMUNITIES ARE MORE VITAL THAN PRODUCTS. WE WISH TO CONSIDER THE RIGHT TO HOUSING FIRST, BEFORE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC LAW DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT WORKS. IT IS A VALUES INQUIRY. WE THINK ASSUMING OUTSIDE THE MARKET FRAMEWORK IS NECESSARY. >> > > THEY HAVE BEEN TIED UP WITH DEAL VALUES.HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THE SCENARIO WE ARE IN? > > THE VALUE HAS GOTTEN SUCH >> IT PUSHED INDIVIDUALS AWAY. IF YOU LOOK ACROSS NEW YORK CITY CITY, YOU SEE THESE AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS GOING UP, BUT THEY ARE BEYOND THE REACH OF HEAPS OF PEOPLE. YOU AFTER THAT SEE and look, IS REAL ESTATE A HUMAN RIGHT? THAT IS OUR REASONING FOR THE MOVEMENT SIDE. AN RISE IN FOLKS UPCOMING INTO OUR OFFICE when YOU SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING DISPLACED. SEARCHING FOR SERVICES. TRYING TO FIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING, EITHER BEING FORCED OUT OR ON THE EDGE FROM COMMUNITIES THEY ARE BASED IN, YOU CHECK OUT THAT AS WELL AS SEE THE LOOMING HIGH-RISES. YOU ASSUME, WE ARE THE ONLY ONE CLAIMING IT IS A HUMAN RIGHT. >> > > WHAT KIND OF FIGURES ARE WE DISCUSSING? >> > > THE CITY SAYS 67,000 INDIVIDUALS OVERSLEEP SHELTERS EVERY NIGHT. WE KNOW THAT NUMBER IS DRAMATICALLY MORE. NOT TALKING ABOUT STREET HOMELESS. NOT TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE DOUBLED OR TRIPLED UP AT NYCHA. I THINK OUR ESTIMATION, IF YOU CHECK OUT THE HAIRPIN OF THE COSMOS, IS CLOSE TO OVER 100,000.
>> > > THE REAL ESTATE RIGHT, IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU COMPRISE. THIS IS IN THE UNIVERSAL STATEMENT. IT FEELS LIKE WE NEED EVEN MORE, UNDERSTANDING WHAT ADDRESSES THIS TROUBLE. THEY ARE KIND OF STANDARD. >> > > WE WANTED TO SPEAK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING WE NEED. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PLAN SOLUTIONS TODAY, WE THINK THERE IS A DESTITUTION OF CREATIVITY. AMONG THE ISSUES IS WE ONLY TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY.THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL AFFORDABILITY TROUBLE. AS A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT, YOU SHOULD ASK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ANYBODY THAT LIVES IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOT IN PUBLIC HOUSING? NO ONE I RECOGNIZE. > > DEPEND UPON HOW YOU DEFINE PRICE. > > BY THE STANDARDS OF 30%OF YOUR >> AFTER RENT INCOME. IT IS HARD IN NEW YORK CITY. HALF OF RENTERS IN U.S. NOT HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ONE FOURTH ARE PAYING FIFTY PERCENT OR MORE OF THEIR INCOME. IT IS ABSURD. IT IS AN SILLY SCENARIO WE ARE IN. IT IS NOT SIMPLY PRICE. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF DETAILS ON THE TABLE. REAL ESTATE REQUIRES TO BE AFFORDABLE. PRACTICAL PROCEDURES. PERMANENT. PART OF THE ISSUE LIKEWISE, LOWER LEASE HOUSING IS NOT STABLE. EVICTIONS ARE VERY HIGH. LOW EARNINGS PEOPLE OBTAIN EVICTED FREQUENTLY. IT REQUIRES TO BE INCLUSIVE. THAT IS THIS HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR? INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT FILES. INDIVIDUALS WITH JAIL RECORDS. WE REQUIREMENT HOUSING THAT IS CLEAN AS WELL AS HEALTHY AS WELL AS ECOLOGICAL IN SOME WAYS. IN NEW YORK CITY, WE HAVE A TROUBLE WITH HOUSING PROBLEMS. ONE IN 4 APARTMENT OR CONDOS HAS A CODE INFRACTION. THEN, WE WANT REAL ESTATE THAT IS DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED.WE WANT THE AREA TO HAVE A SAY, CONTROL OVER THE HOUSING ITSELF. SOMETIMES IT IMPLIES PAINT. A COMMUNITY SHOP. THE FORM OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. COMMUNITIES NEED TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE IT. >> > > WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER? >> > > FROM OUR VIEWPOINT, THE UNITED STATE VERSION, ONE OF THE MOST PRIVATIZED ON THE PLANET. 97% OF HOUSING IN THE U.S. IS PRIVATE. A FEW OF THE WEAKEST RENT PROTECTION LEGISLATIONS. IT HAS STOPPED WORKING ON EVERY ONE OF THOSE, NOT A SURPRISE. IF WE TAKE A LOOK AROUND EUROPE, OTHER COUNTRIES, THOSE WITH HIGHER PARTS OF SOCIAL REAL ESTATE DO BETTER. WE INTEND TO SPEAK ABOUT ALTERNATIVES THAT MEET OUR STANDARD SUCCESSFULLY AS WELL AS WELL AND WORK.WE TALK ABOUT
LIMITED EQUITY COOPERATIVES. NEIGHBORHOOD LAND COUNT ON. THIS DESIGN FROM EUROPE, GERMANY, TENEMENT SYNDICATE. AND A LATIN AMERICAN VERSION WHICH WE THINK ACHIEVES SUCCESS. >> > > LET’S SPEAK ABOUT ONE OF THEM. THE LAND TRUST FUND IS ONE YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN. MAYOR DE BLASIO IS SETTING FINANCING BEHIND NOT JUST LAND COUNTS ON. WHAT DO WE REQUIREMENT TO KNOW? IS THIS A NEW POINT? >> > > IT IS NOT A NEW POINT. WE HAVE COOPER SQUARE, ALMOST THIRTY YEARS OLD. IT IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT. A CURRENT PRINCIPLE FOR A GREAT DEAL OF FOLKS AND ALSO A VARIOUS CONCEPT. RENTERS COLLABORATING TO OWN THE LAND. HENCE BY STATING THE COST ON THE LAND COULD BE FOR LIFE, BUT TECHNICALLY 99 YEARS. AS WELL AS LOTS RENEW FOR ANOTHER 99. IT IS REALLY ABOUT PRICE. HAVING THE ABILITY TO SAY THIS BUILDING WILL CERTAINLY REMAIN AFFORDABLE, NO MATTER THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS. WE SEE THAT NOT ONLY AS A VERSION BUT THE MODEL TO MAINTAIN AFFORDABILITY. FOLKS, IF THEY GET ON SOME OTHER SORT OF ASSISTANCE.THEY ARE HOMELESS
, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REVENUE. WE HAVE TONS AS WELL AS TONS OF FOLKS THAT REQUIRED HOUSING. >> > > SPEAK TO US ABOUT HOW IT FUNCTIONS. THE LAND IS HELD BY A PUBLIC TRUST FUND. INDIVIDUALS CONTAINER STILL, AS IT WERE THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTICS. YOU ARE EXPLORE A VERSION IN THE EAST EL BARRIO. >> > > IN THE EAST, THE EAST HARLEM EL BARRIO, WE HAVE 5 STRUCTURES IN THE PIPE. 3 OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE OCCUPANTS. WE ARE AT A PHASE WHERE OUR NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS ARE GOING INTO THE APARTMENTS TO SEE WHAT THE CONCERNS ARE. SEVERAL OF THESE BUILDINGS ARE QUITE OLD. THEY ARE ATTRACTIVE HOMES. REALLY, WHAT WE DEMAND TO BRING THEM UP TO CODE. SEE HOW THEY CONTAINER BE EXPANDED. SOME HAVE TO BE BECOME HANDICAPPED EASILY ACCESSIBLE APARTMENT OR CONDOS. FOLKS ARE BEYOND DELIGHTED. I DON’T THINK THERE IS A DAY WE DON’T GET CALLS ABOUT HOW TO ENTER THE BUILDING. WE HAVE OTHER IN THE PIPELINE, HOW CANISTER WE GET INVOLVED? >> > > HOW DOES THAT PIPE END UP BEING– HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? HOW DOES THE CITY GET CONTROL, OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS? >> > > IT STARTED WITH A DISCUSSION, THE DIVISION OF REAL ESTATE AS WELL AS CONSERVATION, AND THEY HAVE BEEN RECEPTIVE TO THE IDEA.THEY RECOGNIZED MANY FOLKS WOULD BE INTERESTED. AN INCREASING NUMBER OF, INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE INTERESTED TALK WITH FOLKS AT COOPER SQUARE. THEY TINGLE. WOW, THIS IS AN ACTUAL OPTION THAT COULD KEEP United States. >> > > WHAT HAPPENS TO THE STATE? A WHOLE LOT OF THE VERSIONS, COMMUNITIES CONTAINER BECOME THEIR OWN PROPRIETORS. SUPERB. TAKE REAL ESTATE ISSUES OFF OF THE STATE’S HANDS. WE STILL REQUIREMENT PUBLIC HOUSING WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THIS MIX? >> > > THERE IS A FUNCTION FOR THE STATE TO PLAY IN IT. WHAT THAT COULD APPEAR LIKE, BEYOND FUNDING, THERE IS INITIAL FUNDING FOR OUR BUILDINGS. NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE TO COMPANION WITH BANKS. IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF THEY PARTNERED WITH THE STATE. THE STATE PUT FUNDING INTO AREA LAND TRUSTS, NOT RIGHT HERE BUT ACROSS NEW YORK CITY STATE.WE GO TO A MEETING EACH YEAR. VARIOUS PARTS OF THE NATION, STATES ARE PULLING IN AND ALSO PROVIDING FINANCING. THE NONPROFIT PROGRAMMER DOES NOT HAVE TO DO IT. > > TWO CONCERNS. HOW DO YOU >> OBTAIN THE CITY ON BOARD? THE OTHER ONE, YOU POINTED OUT DESIGNS, A COMMUNITY OR STATE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING? > > WE CONTAINER SPEAK ABOUT THE URUGUAY >> EXAMPLE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERLINE SOMETHING. THE STATE REQUIRES TO PLAY A DUTY. A LAND DEPEND ON IS A PUBLICLY HELD TRACT. ALL THE SUCCESSFUL MODELS WE KNOW OF, CITY GOVERNMENT AND ALSO STATE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INJURY UP PLAYING AN ESSENTIAL DUTY. I DO NOT KNOW ANY INSTANCE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE STATE PARTICIPATION. IT IS A CONCERN OF POLITICS AS WELL AS POLITICAL WILL. THE URUGUAY STORY IS INTERESTING. THEY HAVE THIS MODEL OF COOPERATIVISM. YOU TIN HELP BUILD THE STRUCTURES WHICH MAINTAINS THE PRICE DOWN. PEOPLE OFTEN HAVE THOSE KINDS OF SKILLS. THE CITY OF MONTEVIDEO HAS A HIGH PORTION OF REAL ESTATE AS COOPERATIVE.I THINK THEY HAVE 300,000 CITIZENS ALL TOLD.
THESE ARE DEMOCRATICALLY RUN, BOTTOM-UP, MEANING YOU TIN NOT MARKET as well as purchase. WE COLLECTIVELY MAKE A DECISION WHAT TO DO WITH IT. > > THERE ARE VERSIONS WHERE YOU CANISTER OFFER BUT AT A CAP TO RATE. >> THERE ARE VERSIONS WHERE YOU HAVE SOME LEVEL OF EXCHANGE. > > SOMETHING YOU READ ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD LAND DEPEND ON >>, PEOPLE FEEL HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A MEANS TO PASS ON SECURITY. YOU CAN OWN A HOUSE. YOU COULD OFFER THAT PORTION. IN A RESTRICTED EQUITY CO-OP, YOU CAN MARKET YOUR SHARE. YOU BOUGHT IT FOR$25,000. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER $50,000. > > THIS IS POLITICAL ELECTION YEAR.
>> PEOPLE ARE EXCITED. HOW DID YOU OBTAIN THE MAYOR ENTAILED? IT IS A BRAND-NEW DAY. > > WE WERE DOING THIS MEANS >> PRIOR TO I GOT THERE. I HAVE BEEN THE EXECUTIVE SUPERVISOR, 14 MONTHS. OUR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS. 6, 7 YEARS. WORKING TO NOT JUST OBTAIN WORDS BENT ON CAPACITY BUILDINGS BUT ACTUALLY PRESSING CHOSEN OFFICIALS AS WELL AS THE MAYOR THAT THE SUGGESTION IS A VIABLE IDEA. REALLY COST EFFECTIVE REAL ESTATE, REALLY OBTAIN AT THE FOLKS THAT TRULY NEED THAT. IF THE CITY IS DEDICATED GOING DOWN ON THE HOMELESS, THIS IS THE MEANS TO GET INDIVIDUALS INTO AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE. A MASS EXHILARATION. FOLKS CAN VIEW OUR WEBSITE, THEY CONTAINER COME AND ALSO VOLUNTEER. >> > > IT IS NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS. >> > > NOT AT ALL. >> > > THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT CANISTER NEITHER BUY NOR RENT AFFORDABLY. >> > > PEOPLE TEND TO THINK HOMELESS FOLKS ARE NOT WORKING. 45% REALLY WORK EVERY DAY. THE COST IN THE CITY HAS GOTTEN SO BAD, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET INTO SOMETHING YOU CAN LIVE.
>> > > TO CLARIFY THIS INQUIRY OF PRICE, THEY ARE CHANGING THE DEFINITION. HOW IS IT DEFINED TODAY AND HOW SHOULD IT BE DEFINED? >> > > GOVERNMENT IT'' S 30 % AFTER TAX EARNINGS. WHEN WE DO INCLUSIONARY ZONING IN NEW YORK CITY WE USE TYPICAL INCOME. WE THINK IT IS UNREALISTIC. IT CONSIDERS THE WHOLE LOCATION. IT CREATES NUMBERS THAT ARE NOT BUDGET-FRIENDLY FOR WE THINK IT SHOULD BE NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED. >> > > IF YOU ARE– EAST HARLEM, IT INCLUDES PARK AVENUE. >> > > EXACTLY. >> > > LAST IDEAS CONCERNING HOW INDIVIDUALS CANISTER BE INVOLVED. THE LEVEL, INVOLVING THE COMMUNITY. IS THERE A CLEAR INQUIRY TO ASK THE PROSPECTS RUNNING? >> > > ONE, KNOWLEDGE OF NEIGHBORHOOD LAND TRUST FUNDS. HOW THEY CAN ASSISTANCE IT IF ELECTED OR REELECTED. >> > > ANYTHING TO INCLUDE IN THAT? >> > > THE COMMITMENT IS TO SOLVING THE REAL ESTATE SITUATION. HOW WILLING IS A PERSON TO TAKE A LOOK AT DIFFERENT VERSIONS AND CONCEPTS? ONES A LITTLE OUTSIDE? >> > > MANY THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING IN AND ALSO DISCUSSING THIS. WE WILL CERTAINLY KEEP OUR EYES OUT. >> > > THANKS FOR HAVING US.

INDIVIDUALS ARE RETURNING IN. WE ARE SEEING A PATTERN. THE POOR AND INDIVIDUALS OF COLOR ARE BEING DISPLACED.IT IS NOT THAT
THESE AREAS DO NOT REQUIREMENT NEW SERVICES, NEW RESOURCES, NEW HOUSING. WE SHOULD FIND OUT A METHOD TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO REMAIN IN THEIR RESIDENCES AND IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, RATHER THAN SAYING WE ARE GOING TO REPEAT THIS CYCLE OF DISPLACING. >> > > GENTRIFICATION AND INCARCERATION, IN REGARDS TO THE PARTNERSHIP WE SEE, WHERE YOU BUILD THESE THINGS IN CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES. THE FACT THAT WHEN INDIVIDUALS ARE INCARCERATED, THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEIR FAMILIES ARE HAVING A HARD TIME. THEIR COMPANION, THEIR HUSBAND, IS INCARCERATED SOMEPLACE. WHEN THEY COME BACK, IT IS A LITTLE A CALAMITY. THERE WERE NEVER MANY PLACES FOR THEM TO GO. YOU CAN'' T OBTAIN SECTION 8 REAL ESTATE IF YOU HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED. SO, PEOPLE WIND UP HOMELESS. IF YOU JAILED, YOU COME BACK, INDIVIDUALS ALREADY BEING DISPLACED, YOU TIN NOT OBTAIN SECTION 8 REAL ESTATE. YOU END UP IN THE ROADS. IT IS A CALAMITY FROM THAT VIEWPOINT, AT THE VERY LEAST IN OAKLAND. >> > > THIS CERTAIN JOB HAS LESS CORRECTIVE JUSTICE AND EVEN MORE RESTORATIVE BUSINESS ECONOMICS. THERE'' RE OTHER CONCEPTS IN THERE ABOUT BRIDGING THE DIGITAL LIGHT AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION FOR LOW-INCOME AREAS OF COLOR.WE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES ON THE GROUND FLOORING. THIS REALLY CONCENTRATES ON THAT PIECE. HOW DO YOU TAKE THE PROGRAM AS WELL AS MAKE IT BASICALLY FUND THE TASK? WE ARE WANTING ODD NEW POINTS. SOCIAL IMPACT BONDS. HOW YOU PAY FOR THINGS IN A DIFFERENT METHOD. AS OPPOSED TO YOUR PROGRAMMER. I NEED TO MAKE MY CASH BACK AS WELL AS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. > > AMONG THE INTRIGUING THINGS, FROM THE FOR-PROFIT DEVELOPERS, THERE ARE SOME EVIL ONES AVAILABLE. I DO NOT THINK THAT CAN BE DISPUTED. THERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE A NEED TO DO GOOD. OR ARE OPEN TO A MANNER IN WHICH ENABLES THEM TO PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT IS FINANCIALLY LASTING BUT ALSO SOCIALLY IMPACTFUL. WHAT THEY REQUIRED IS A CALCULATED INSTRUCTIONS THAT IS HELPING THEM DO THAT.IT IS NOT
COMING IN AND SWING THE FLAG, OH THE INADEQUATE INDIVIDUALS, YOU MUST ACCOMPLISH THIS. HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR GOALS AND TRYING TO COLLABORATE WITH THEM CREATIVELY TO IDENTIFY, HOW DO WE MAKE THE NUMBERS FUNCTION? HOW DO WE SEE TO IT WE ARE MAINTAINING THE NEIGHBORHOOD? HOW ARE WE REASONING DELIBERATELY REGARDING SOME OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING? THERE IS A TASK IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. AS A RESULT OF THE MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE, FEDERAL SUBSIDIES, NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED AS MIXED INCOME.THAT IS THE TRUTH OF LOW INCOME. THERE IS NO CASH FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO DO JUST LOW REVENUE. WHAT WE BEGAN GOING OVER IS IF YOU BEGIN DOING IT, SAYING WE ARE BRINGING THEM RIGHT HERE, WE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY THE FACT THEY LIE ON THE EXACT SAME RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, THERE IS NO INTEGRATION. HOW DO WE THINK DELIBERATELY REGARDING THE ACTIONS WE ARE DOING? THE FEATURES WE ARE CREATING. FACILITIES THAT BOTH CONTAINER INTEGRATE. THINGS THAT BUILD COMMUNITY. TO SAY, LET’S NOT CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLY DUPLICATING THE WRONGS OF THE PAST. I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, A HISTORICAL AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. INDUSTRIAL. POWERPLANT, THERAPY PLANTS. A WHOLE LOT OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING. THE COMMUNITY WAS THE ONE WHO LOBBIED FOR THE POWERPLANT TO FIND DOWN. A GROUP OF MOTHERS LIVING IN PUBLIC HOUSING NEXT TO THE PLANT THAT LED THE BATTLE. THE POWERPLANT CAME DOWN. 30 ACRES IN ITS WAKE. THE ENERGY COMPANY CLAIMED THE SOIL BUT CAPPED IT WITH ASPHALT. YOU HAVE 30 ACRES OF ASPHALT. 5-10 GROWTH CYCLE AT LEAST.MY TEAM OF
DESIGNERS, MY COMPANY AND OTHERS, WERE BROUGHT IN TO TRY AS WELL AS TURN IT INTO AREA BENEFIT. WE HAVE BEEN DOING AREA PROGRAMMING. THE CONCEPT IS WITH THE ADVANCEMENT PROJECTS, YOU ARE CHECKING OUT LONG TIMELINES. HOW CAN YOU PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT BENEFITS THE AREA CURRENTLY? WE CANISTER ALWAYS BE RESOURCEFUL. WE DO TASK TRAINING WORKSHOPS. TRY TO CREATE LOCATIONS OF DELIGHT IN ADDITION TO OBTAIN SKILLS. >> > > WHEN WE BUILD MATTERS, HOW CAN WE BEGINNING TO BUILD SOME OF THE BACKGROUND BACK IN? HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO THAT WITH EITHER THE RETAIL COMPONENT OF SOMETHING. IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE THE AREA DO AN ART ITEM? THAT IS STILL RIGHT HERE? THAT IS RIGHT HERE CURRENTLY? WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST TO MAKE A MARK ON THE LAND? >> > > WE COORDINATED WITH STORYCORPS. WE INVITED AREA MEMBERS TO DOCUMENT TALES. EVERY TALE THAT IS TAPED AS AN OFFICIAL STORYCORP RECORDING.IT OBTAINS ARCHIVED IN
