No One Goes Home

Need a home? Why don't you move into an empty building and squat until things start looking up? This one is just about empty. In Juliana Luecking videos, she asks blunt questions. They are hilarious. No, poetic. Well, maybe quite philosophical.

Do you remember when Reagan said "The homeless are homeless 'cause they want to be homeless? I do. If we substitute the word houseless for homeless, it is easy to see just how ruthless they really are.

The houseless are houseless 'cause they wanna be houseless. I'm sure the Reaganomics people truly believe that. That "trickle down Reaganomics" is actually piss from the higher ups pissing all over the people. I could go on. But you've nailed it. You should win the WNYC prize.

I live in Jacksonville Fl one of the nations foreclosure capitals. They are still down here building new condos all over town as we speak. Every 3rd house on my street is for sale. It like that all over town. I guess the city is more worried about fancy highrises than it is their citizens. I also wanted to say at Wamu wear I work. I have received many hardship lts from elderly people around the world. I have rcvd a lot wear their is a mention of suicidal thoughts. Think about that for a minute.

[QueenJuliana]

I work for WAMU/Chase dealing with all the people applying for loan modification. They are all trying to save their houses from going into foreclosure. I have to read these letter all day everyday about people getting ripped off by these lenders. There are so many lawsuits going on right now over the lenders infalting people incomes so that they would qualify for these subprime balloon loans. They are knowingly sabatoging people that are trying to live their dream.

You've got really good points.

Geez, in my neighborhood, impeccably dressed young men and women knocked on the doors of big brownstone houses. When they found an elderly owners, they offered them cash loans against the worth of their homes.

I don't have to tell you what came next, because these charming and friendly young people were predatory lenders representing big banks.

Yes, the seniors should not have signed up for bad loans. But also, the banks shouldn't swindled people. Yes? xo QJ

I think people need to wise up, Never, Ever sign important papers without a Lawyer or Knowing what your getting into. All the info was in the paperwork, No on held a gun to their heads to sign before they had a chance to understans things. I am about sick of all these bailouts to anyone and everyone who makes bad choices, from Wall Street to Main Street. Its time for accountablility and responsiblity in this country from the government, Corporate America and Citizens.
