[00:00:00]Oh my goodness. They haven't even built nothing here yet. Man, I'm just here in Glendawi where I grew up as a child. I remember this house, the housing commission my parents used to live in.

[00:00:11]1995 we moved here. And man, there's a lot of things that have changed here.

[00:00:16]You can see these new estates. All these new estates have taken over. They're basically they've busted down. Look to the look how far they've busted down.

[00:00:24]All these homes. I remember all the housing commission homes all used to be here. We had an old lady that used to live up there. Now they've all passed away. We used to have tongen neighbors and mom hik and even though we didn't have much money, even though we didn't have much in life, but we were happy together as a family. Why? Because we had more than what money could give us.

[00:00:47]My neighbors that were living here, even though that we all didn't have much, but we all shared food with each other. We celebrated Christmas with each other. We basically had that connection. We had that bond which was more than what money could bring. Man, I can still remember.

[00:01:02]I can still remember how it was. I praise God that the man I am today is because how my parents have brought me up. They got a big housing crisis.

[00:01:10]People homeless. People got nowhere to stay. And yet they're busting down all these uh housing commissions. People are left homeless. And this is what the government wants.
