Supporting people to stay in their homes is surely a better method of reducing homelessness than acting after the fact.
I grew up in a low-income area of Tokyo. Like most homes in Tokyo, ours was small. It was a free-standing, two-family rental duplex built 30 years earlier.
I already own two houses – one in Malad and another in Thane – but I sold off the Thane apartment and bought one in Bandra, because it was convenient and larger than my other homes.
The real story in housing will be a recovery in the economy that will drive a recovery in housing, When people are working, when there are more jobs, more households forming and people go back to buying cars, they’re going to want their apartments and homes. And that’s when you’ll start to see a recovery in home prices.
A city of homes should not be built as a business center.
With the Black Lives Matter movement, a lot of the focus is on the protest and dissent. I’m hoping to dismantle the public notion – for folks outside of the community – of what Black Lives Matter means. It’s really about saying that black lives matter: that humanity is the same when you go inside people’s homes.
Architects have to become more aware of exactly what is involved in designing barrier-free buildings and homes.
Bonnie and Clyde grew up in absolute poverty. They didn’t go to school or have any money; the only way they could figure out how to get ahead was to steal. The banks were foreclosing on everyone’s homes. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to that struggle.
Be fun! I don’t like homes or rooms that don’t have a sense of humor or have some sense of whimsy or a personality. Your home should reflect who you are, and what you love. I would never have something in my home because it’s the thing to have. I have to love it and it needs some connection to me.
I had a wife, kids and a mortgage and my acting career was nowhere, so I was painting and decorating people’s homes.
In television, the audience has to be comfortable with you, and I’ve managed to prove that I can be in American homes to some degree, and not necessarily where everyone knows me, either.
If women will not accept marriage with subjection, nor men proffer it without, there is, there can be, no alternative. The women who will not be ruled must live without marriage. And during this transition period… single women make comfortable and attractive homes for themselves.
Taxing people for having a spare bedroom and forcing them into rent arrears or the possibility of losing homes they have lived in for years has always been a cruel and heartless measure, and so it is good that the Scottish Parliament has been able to step in.
The entire political class and ruling Wall Street class are zero-percent-interest zombies who talk about ‘deflation’ in the value of their second, third, and fourth homes. This is paper-deflation, zombie-deflation, and has nothing to do with the real economy.
In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.
Overwhelming, student loan payments are holding millions back from buying homes, starting families, and saving for retirement.
