90,000 Consequences of the US housing crisis on the example of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas. The epicenter of the housing crisis is thriving again. (This is a warning sign.)

MATTHEW GOLDSTEIN , ROBERT GEBELOFF , ROSS MANTIA and MATT RUBY September 1 2, 2018

This quiet working town off the Las Vegas Strip has helped provoke a global financial crisis 10 years ago. The consequences were inevitable: almost every third house was mortgaged.

North Las Vegas Community

Today, the North Las Vegas Community, including zip code 89031, is a model of recovery that has swept across the country. The economy is growing, companies are hiring, and the housing market is on fire, as this suburban enclave expands further into the Mojave Desert.

But the recovery has been uneven.

Although the Las Vegas area is thriving, the middle class is still shrinking.

Steady growth across the country lifted the stock market and corporate profits. These advances, however, did not seep through to most workers. Incomes barely budge and consumer debt rises again.

North Las Vegas house prices are rising so fast that real estate in many communities is no longer available for purchase. Much of the new construction is on the high end (ed. note very expensive ), which discourages many new homeowners. Some cannot find the money for a down payment, while others are afraid to return to a market where they have already failed.

For many, the American dream is now out of reach. It is more and more a nation of tenants.

Reference approx. ed. . 36.6% of Americans are considered tenants, 63.4% of Americans are homeowners. In fact, the “owners” do not own anything. The vast majority of them “bought” houses on credit, on a mortgage. That is, in fact, the BANKS own the houses, from which the American owners rented money and, with their responsibility to look after the condition of the house . Really, a loan costs about 7-8% of the cost of a house and is taken for a period of 30 years. This means that during the repayment of the loan, a person pays two more for every dollar taken – two and a half to the bank. By the end of payments, the owner receives an almost completely depreciated house. 10 million homeless people living in tents and huts, the US Census Bureau does not count.

This is Angela Guthrie’s third home in ten years.

She bought a three-bedroom house in 2006 with her husband. But she couldn’t keep up with her mortgage payments, subprime loans with rising interest rates. She filed for personal bankruptcy , lost her house and divorced.

She tried to buy a house a few miles away on a rental property and gave $3,000 in advance. The deal failed when she couldn’t get a mortgage , and she lost her down payment.

She bought a three-bedroom house in 2006.

Miss Guthrie now lives in a rented apartment a few blocks away. It’s in a safe area where is guarded by private security guards at night. But the new owner, an out-of-state investor, just raised the rent by a few hundred dollars and demanded an additional $1,000 for a security deposit.

Mother of four, Miss Guthrie, aged 51, didn’t have much choice. Her 15-year-old daughter is in high school and she didn’t want to endanger her place of residence (ed. note life ) by moving out of the (ed. note guarded ) area.

Ms. Guthrie, who works for a souvenir company, has no plans to buy property again. There is no way to get a loan. “How do you create wealth?” she asked. “My views on my own housing have changed.”

In some states, after declaring bankruptcy, the debtor is released from all previous debts, but in any case, the credit history will be badly damaged. The relevant information will be stored in the credit history for ten years, and within five to seven years it will be almost impossible to get another mortgage loan. approx. ed.

This house on Osiana Avenue has changed hands five times in the past decade, twice in foreclosure.

“If several payments are missed (one is enough), the property owner can foreclose a person. In addition, credit history will be damaged.”

The original owner bought the house for $400,000 in 2005, taking out more than $1.3 million in loans to purchase this property and three other houses. He eventually lost them all, going into foreclosure and filing for bankruptcy.

The damage from the housing crisis is a poisonous combination of frenzied buying, runaway construction, predatory lending and overinvestment – was huge. Of the 23,000 single-family homes in zip code 89031, more than 7,500 have been foreclosed on at least once since 2006, according to Attom.

Purchase of pledged property in index 89031 since 2006 .

The yellow squares on the map are properties that have been seized from their owners.

The wave of foreclosures over the past ten years has changed the face of the community (community).

Sandra L. Francescon, registered nurse, bought a house at Osiana Avenue in 2008 for $227,000. She faced foreclosure four years after a homeowners association said she defaulted on her payment obligations. About 10,000 mortgages were placed on the homes by lenders when the owners failed to pay bills.

She sued without a lawyer and lost her homeowners association case. “I still feel sick,” said 59year-old Miss Francescon. “I was baffled that the bank kept saying that everything is still in good condition.”

Like many others in the same situation, she had to move to another place. Miss Francescon now lives in Illinois.

At the start of the crisis, money-rich investors rushed into the country, buying distressed houses on the cheap.

Large, Wall Street-backed firms and small players bought homes by the thousands in bank foreclosures well below $100,000. The investor who bought Ms. Francescon’s home on Osiana Avenue paid only $6,000.

Deals are now over.

Prices rose more than 135 percent due to the depth of the crisis in North Las Vegas and rose almost three times faster than the national average, according to analyst firm Black Knight.

Jasmine Ricks and her sister Portia Reed were among the lucky ones who got the house for their price.

The sisters, who were in their twenties, were tired of throwing away their money. And they wanted a house where their three children could play.

After looking at two properties this summer (2018), they found a $300,000 five-bedroom, three-bathroom home. For the first time, homebuyers have been able to take advantage of a program that provides financial assistance to the most affected areas. They put the rent under $1,000.

“This surprised us. It was the easiest thing we have ever done in our lives,” said Ms Rix, who works for a healthcare company. “He has a huge yard. The kids love it.”

Jobs

Rising housing prices followed a broader recovery as the area attracts new employers.

Amazon has opened two huge centers in North Las Vegas to distribute products and process returns, creating thousands of jobs. The third object is already on the way. Sephora, the cosmetics company, recently opened a giant warehouse here.

North Las Vegas, with a population of about a quarter of a million people, is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. He is also young – the average resident is only 33 years old.

Like much of the area, North Las Vegas is a landscape of contrasts, with pawn shops as common as well-groomed golf courses.

Down-to-earth and simple housing estates are just a few miles from more luxurious lawn homes—a rarity in a community where yards of cliffs and desert are the norm.

In a rapidly changing housing market, many cannot afford to buy at all. Although prices are still below their pre-crisis peak, North Las Vegas is considered one of the most overpriced markets in the country.

Today, tenants live in about 45 percent of urban single-family homes. In 2008, they made up 33 percent of homes.

Alma Williams is worried that her landlord will raise the rent on this four-bedroom house.

Ms. Williams, who has lived in North Las Vegas for 25 years, has been on a monthly rental for nearly two years. Her landlord has so far kept her rent at $1,400.

But Ms. Williams, 69-year old pensioner, lives on a fixed income and doesn’t have much financial room to maneuver. She lives with her adult daughter, who is recovering from cancer, and her 12-year-old grandson.

“A lot of people find it hard to buy a house in Vegas,” she said. “People don’t make enough money.”

The Las Vegas home rent increase is one of the highest in the nation.

Jazzmine Guiberteaux moved here a few years ago from Oakland, California – one of many California refugees who went to Nevada in search of more space and cheaper housing. But it is getting more and more appreciated.

35-year-old pregnant woman, mother of two, works in a clothing store and works with Uber to earn extra money. She had to move three times in five years.

Ms. Guiberto’s previous landlord ended his monthly lease on Mother’s Day. It took her 10 days to get a new place. “The rent is higher,” she said. “But it’s in the best area.”

For some tenants, affordability (financial editor’s note) is not the only problem. Subtle discrimination also makes it harder for them to find shelter.

In June there were approximately 1800 rental houses in Clark County, including North Las Vegas. Only 39 accepted tenants with so-called housing vouchers (ed. note relief for the poor ) under Section 8 – federal rent subsidies.

Kristin Bergstrom-Norwood of Nevada Legal Services said she and her colleagues see this problem all the time. They call the unspoken obstacle “renting while black”.

This gets in the way when developers are heavily focused on the upper end of the housing market.

Upscale homes in Toole Springs Villages

One developer, Pardee Homes, is building over $400,000 homes on the edge of the desert. Upscale homes in Tula springs settlements come in three styles: Desert Contemporary, Modern Spanish, and Nevada Living.

Lennar builds affordable townhouses and apartments with a New York theme. The home models are called Brooklyn, Manhattan and Rochester.

Homes in North Las Vegas are “going like hot cakes,” says Trish Nash, real estate broker and longtime resident. “They are purchased after three days, even one day of sale in the market. And they come at or above the asking price. ”

Richard Plaster watched the construction business go from boom to bust to growth again.

British born Mr. Plaster is an American citizen and has lived in the Las Vegas area since 1973. When he moved here, about a quarter of a million people lived in it, now there are more than two million two hundred thousand people.

He built hundreds of houses before the housing crisis. When the financial crisis halted construction, he switched to buying houses and apartments to rent out.

Mr. Plaster, at the construction of luxury homes in Las Vegas.

He says he wants to build affordable housing.

Upon completion of Mr. Gipsoler’s construction, 184 houses will be built on Solana Terrace. It is giving away about half a dozen (6) homes to young buyers on modest incomes who can get help with down payments from a government program.

That’s right, said Mr Plaster, 71, given how the financial crisis has hit young families hard.

“I have friends on Wall Street, but I think it’s unbelievable that we can have such a crash and only one guy will be held accountable,” he said. “There were very bad guys there”

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — Dmitry Rodionov

How the biggest massacre in American history will affect the internal strife in the country.

Read ren.tv in

In Las Vegas, a man opened fire at one of the city’s largest casino hotels, Mandalay Bay. At least 50 people were killed, one more than at an Orlando nightclub in June 2016, making it the worst massacre in U.S. history, according to the latest figures.

How can this be? Imagine Las Vegas, the capital of American glamour, a city of thousands of casinos, hotels, and more. Thousands of carefree non-poor people are walking on the streets, going somewhere, maybe just in a casino to try their luck. And someone has already experienced and comes off at a country music festival. What could be more American? Las Vegas, casino and country festival. And suddenly fate turns to them in such an absurd way, appearing in the form of a shooter, for whom they all become targets in the shooting range. Indeed, just like in a shooting range: one shoots fifty from a pre-prepared and carefully disguised place, which is not so easy to immediately calculate. Nobody interferes. Just you, rifle and targets.

Then, of course, the shooter dies. This is the law of the genre. It would be too cool if he also managed to get away with impunity. Yes, even if he had left, he would not have been able to hide for a long time anyway. They would raise everyone to their feet, announce “Siren”, “Interception” or whatever they have for these cases. That’s not the point. The point is, how could this even happen? The police in the US do not catch mice at all?

Catches. Only after the fact. It cannot be said that law enforcement agencies in the United States are completely, completely ineffective. Although, of course, it should be noted that their effectiveness is much higher in the capture and elimination of criminals, and not in the prevention of crime. They also effectively manage to disperse protests, but for some reason they fail to prevent them. Rather, from time to time news comes from the United States that some policeman shot some black man, wanting to prevent a crime, because it seemed to him that he had a weapon. Then it turns out that there were no weapons, which leads to the very protests that the police have to suppress.

Maybe the American police are too nervous that they shoot first and then sort it out? You’ll be nervous here.

In fact, the US has a very rich history of mass shootings, which have long become as integral a part of American life as country music, casinos or a hamburger with cola.

According to statistics, every year 11 people die from firearms per 100,000 inhabitants. Here are just a few high-profile examples from the past quarter century:

– Shooting at the University of Iowa 1 November 1991 years old, 5 killed.
– Shooting in the restaurant “Lubi” October 16, 1993, 23 killed.
– Shooting at Columbine School, Colorado, April 20, 1999, 13 killed.
– Shooting at Red Lake School on March 21, 2005, 9 killed.
– Shooting at Virginia Tech April 16, 2007, 32 killed.
– Shooting in Omaha shopping center, Nebraska, October 5, 2007, 8 killed.
– Shooting at Northern Illinois University January 14, 2008, 5 killed.
– Shooting at a barbershop in Seal Beach, California, October 12, 2011, 8 killed.
— Shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, July 20, 2012, 12 killed.
— Shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, 27 killed.
– Shooting on the campus of Umpqua College, Oregon, October 1, 2015, 9 killed.
– Shooting at a center for people with disabilities in San Bernardino, California, December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed.
— Shooting at a family planning center in Colorado Springs, November 27, 2015, 3 killed.
— Shooting at a gay club in Orlando June 12, 2016, 49 killed.

By the way, a schoolboy who came to class with a gun and shot half of the class together with the teacher is generally a classic of the American genre. Alas, not a movie.

Maybe the problem is not the inefficiency of the police, but the inefficiency of a society in which the free circulation of weapons is allowed? Inappropriate control over him? Maybe a country in which a psychopathic maniac just shoots the crowd like in a shooting range, and the overwrought policemen shoot at everything that moves, needs to change something in this regard?

And yes, was the Vegas killer a psychotic maniac? So far, it is only known that this is a 64-year-old local resident named Stephen Paddock. And they don’t know anything about him anymore. Yes, he also had an impressive supply of ammunition with him, which indicates that the pensioner had been preparing for a long time and carefully.

But is it just a pensioner who has “traveled” or is it still a terrorist act? Indeed, it would be very easy to believe this, given the number of terrorist attacks that have occurred around the world in recent times. We can recall the massacre at the railway station of the city of Saint-Charles in French Marseilles, truck runs over people in Berlin and Nice, battering rams on London bridges, an ax attack on train passengers and the shooting of visitors to a shopping center in Munich, a suicide bombing at a music show in Ansbach , the machete massacre in Reutlingen – there have been so many of them lately that you can’t remember everything …

That is Europe, you say, not America. But here’s Canada, where just the other day a criminal armed with a knife attacked a policeman, then got into a truck and ran into two groups of pedestrians. Everything would be fine, but in the cockpit they found the flag of the banned terrorist organization ISIS.

Indeed, the blood trail of ISIS stretches all over the world, all over Europe and already in North America. Why not take a swing at the US? Moreover, the terrorists have long accused the United States of jihad and announced terrorist attacks there. Reuters has already reported that ISIS terrorists have claimed responsibility for the shooting in Vegas. What only ISIS has not taken on lately, but who knows, perhaps in this particular case the shooter is really connected to him.

After all, the American intelligence services do not eat their bread in vain, otherwise there would have been terrorist attacks in the United States long ago. But they were never there, except for September 11, 2001. That case, however, as many believe, could have been deliberately provoked by the American authorities in order to free their hands for a lot of things. One way or another, it’s really hard to imagine that the Americans simply missed a terrorist attack of this magnitude and terrorists, who barely know how to fly planes, were able to carry out the most grandiose attack in the history of mankind.

However, as the years go by, everything changes and develops. The trend of “terrorist thought” is also developing. Today, there is no need to hijack planes, derail trains, send a suicide bomber to train stations and the subway. All this, of course, has not gone away, but with the current level of control of special services around the world, the success of such actions is extremely difficult.

For example, today the FSB prevented terrorist attacks in the Moscow region, which were prepared by members of a secret ISIS cell. Just in the form of explosions in crowded places.

However, as practice shows, today a car and the right to drive it are quite enough to carry out a terrorist attack. The latter, by the way, is not necessary. And in general, a knife, machete or ax is enough. The only “minus” is that you won’t kill a lot of people with this. Whether it’s an assault rifle, which in many US states you can safely buy, store and almost wear. Like in a shooting range: several bursts – and dozens of corpses. Panic and crush will do the rest. In this case, the shooter can safely hide, if, of course, he sets such a goal.

Most importantly, ISIS has long since evolved from a terrorist organization into a terrorist franchise. There is no need for any organization in the classical sense. Supporters are on their own – there is no need to send anyone to the United States, where any migrant, if at all, can break through the obstacles of Trump legislation, will be under strict surveillance. Supporters are themselves among the locals, and not only physical contact is not required, but communication in general. Any crazy person who is offended by something in society may come up with the idea of ​​taking revenge on this society, and not simply, but, as they say, with a twinkle – to take and shout at the moment of performing “Allahu Akbar!” or wave the banner of ISIS. In this case, the black banner for him is no different from the makeup of the Joker at the shooter in the Colorado cinema. Which, however, does not negate the possibility that in the United States itself there may be Islamist fanatics who want to help the “caliphate” that is dying under the blows of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian army.

In fact, if a retiree from Vegas finds Islamic literature or an ISIS flag at home, this will not be surprising. How and if not found. Maybe it’s just a psychopath who has been hiding his illness for years. I don’t know how it is in the USA, but we have weak control in this matter: when I received a permit for hunting weapons, the psychiatrist’s examination consisted of the conclusion that I was not registered, and a stupid question like “why do you weapon?”, which was followed by the standard stupid answer “for hunting” – you don’t have to be normal to train it. Perhaps in the United States, due to the fact that there you can get the right to purchase not only an injury or a smoothbore, a psychiatric examination is tougher. But, one way or another, no method of control will give you a 100% guarantee. No one. So the arrows will periodically appear. We have them too. Suffice it to recall the recent shooting of a student at a school in Ivanteevka near Moscow.

The number of victims here depends only on the power of weapons allowed in a particular country. The issue of the right to bear arms has been one of the main issues of US domestic policy since its founding.

The United States was founded by colonists, immigrants from Europe, who had to develop almost wild lands. And the well-known phrase that Colt equalized everyone is not an exaggeration. Without weapons in the Wild West, it was simply impossible to survive. Without weapons, the Americans would not have become Americans, they would not have been able to create their own country, significantly strengthening it and expanding it at the expense of their neighbors.

Many years have passed, but the cult of weapons in the United States has survived. It was enshrined in the second amendment to the Constitution back in 1791. There are more than 2,500 federal and state laws on this score. In 23 states, it is allowed to carry pistols openly. In 38 states, you can covertly wear firearms. There are “barrels” in the USA in almost every second family, only their power, caliber, etc. fluctuate from state to state. For an American, the right to guns is a “sacred cow”, almost like private property. No, nevertheless, probably not so sacred and not for everyone, but for sure for many. Traditionally, when one of the politicians wants to alarm society, he declares the need to tighten the rules for the circulation of weapons, which is perceived by his opponents as a call for a ban altogether, as a result, the traditionalists raise such a roar that the proposal instantly hangs in the air. Until the next major execution, when someone again wants to circle the water and throw a stone at it.

This is already a tradition for them. Someone will shoot someone, opponents of weapons will begin to demand toughening, supporters will shout that their rights guaranteed by the Constitution are being violated, that, they say, the victims could defend themselves, because they themselves had the opportunity to acquire weapons.

One way or another, someone is undoubtedly benefiting from this undoubtedly deeply politicized issue. All this not only increases the degree of militarization, but also helps to split the society, which makes it more easily managed.

Today’s massacre is filled with symbolism: Las Vegas, casinos, country music. All this is suspiciously closely associated with Trump and his supporters – traditionalists, for whom the right to guns is sacred. Since gun supporters are Trump’s base constituency, it is simply unacceptable to expect him to make Obama-like statements that the issue of guns should be studied. For rednecks, this question is closed, it does not exist at all. They are already not very happy with Trump’s vague position on the incidents with the demolition of Confederate monuments. If Trump now says something that casts doubt on his commitment to the cult of weapons, it will greatly disappoint his already small support group in him.

On the other hand, his silence will expose him to even more criticism from his Democrat opponents, who, for God’s sake, are now just going all over America on the subject of disarming typical Trump supporters, one of whom today staged the most massive massacre in history America.

No, I don’t mean to say that this is a setup. Although in the face of unprecedented pressure on Trump from his opponents, who use completely wild and schizophrenic arguments for this, starting from the fact that Moscow brought him to power and ending with the covert support of nationalists, I will not be surprised at anything. In any case, Trump receives another test from scratch, and the test is a key issue of domestic policy, which cannot be brushed aside, like almost any foreign policy issue. Both sides are hardened to the limit and will wait for the president’s decision.

Even if Trump mutters something about the need for tighter control, and the righteous anger of the rednecks does not immediately burn him in his furious flame, in any case, there will be those who will say that, they say, under Obama, this did not and could not be, that it is under Trump that the degree of hatred and intolerance in society has risen to outrageous heights, etc.
