Today's Homes are built for for tomorrow's "landfills" - a nice word for dumps. These type houses are constructed the same as fast food - with materials used in the construction of trailers.

put 'em together & what have you got,

Thank you for making and posting this video. I can totally relate. I have the same feeling and same problem.. I feel like no one is listening. What will it take?
"Making them listen" can be very hard unless they are threatened with liability about the problem -- but that's a dark road of threats, education, and potentially litigation...
Meanwhile the goal first and foremost is to take care of your health and those you care about.
You should consult a doctor and/or attorney.
But, here are the steps I take in the situation in general, and you could decide if following this example is right for your situation....
This can be addressed verbally, but if I feel ignored, I will simply write a letter as best I can, stating my concerns clearly, dating it, and keeping a copy. If I am very concerned, I will have an attorney write this letter for me.
Once the responsible party is notified, they need to take action or at least respond to me. Ignorance is no longer an excuse on mold issues. But, I wouldn't expect them to admit guilt or write a check. I DO expect them to provide a safe environment.
If they fix the problem, they need to do it without making me sicker, or spreading mold spores everywhere through ignorant remediation protocols.
If they do not fix the problem or try to paint over it, or cover it up, they are probably liable and I may need to proceed against them by bringing the matter to court, contacting the city/county health office, etc. None of these are easy or fun for anyone, but sometimes pressure and recourse need to happen.
But last -- and first is to take care of my health. If I am severely toxified, or sensitive, or my possessions have been ruined, I may need to just get out of the space right away, ask less sensitive people to remove my belongings, possibly put my belongings in storage, and avoid re-exposure.
Getting a savvy MD is not easy, but more and more understand the symptoms, indicators, and potential risks.
I may need a team of caretakers to detoxify the exposure if it is severe enough.
So, I've gone from simple with mild exposure to severe situations in these examples. Of course, I don't know your situation and you can consult a mold expert if you feel that would help.
But before you waste money and have hysterical businessmen trying to sell you a bill of good, realize it's buyer beware -- hold onto your wallet.
Calm, reasonable methods are always best, but many experts say if you are getting sick, get out until you learn more as to "why!"
its blatant that it causes problems with health. here in the uk, landlords are told that it is a danger to health, its in all the health and safety handbooks, along with gas safety checks etc. but when you report your landlords lack of maintenance and the resultant damp/mould problems to the council, they dont care.

1. Identify the source of the problem if I can. Does a particular environment make my symptoms worse?
it could be a specific room, the floor of a building, or an entire structure.
2. Without hurting myself or disturbing the potential mold, identify if I see mold, smell mold, or see water damage.
3. I get a history of the location. Is there a history of roof leaks, wet carpets, flooding, water breaks?
4. Are there other problems? Sewage gas, irritants, toxins, i.e. other potential causes?

After I've narrowed down the source, the location, and the potential co-factors, I find out who should or can help.
Is there a landlord or building owner who is required by law to provide a clean and safe living environment?
Is there an employer who is required to protect me and any health disabilities I may have?
Is this a problem I caused, could prevent, or reverse?
Then, address the problem clearly and carefully. I am not an expert, or doctor. Here's what's happening as far as I can tell
