Introduction

Tom Hartman: We have a homeless crisis here in Portland, Oregon. He says whenever the cost of housing exceeds about 30% of average income, you start seeing homelessness appear. In 2009 was when Wall Street looked around and said, holy cow, there's really cheap housing stock,. he says. And so now you've got tens of millions of homes across the U.S. that are no longer owned by families who live in them.
