Скачать или смотреть Occupy the Hood - South Jamaica Queens March

Occupy Wall Street traveled from Zuccotti Park to South Jamaica Queens, the neighborhood with the highest concentration of foreclosed homes due to predatory lending practices.

October 29, 2011 was an unseasonably cold and snowy day, but that did not deter the marchers from showing up and visually reclaim foreclosed homes with banners and signs in windows and yards, and by tracing a map of the foreclosed homes of Jamaica, Queens.

"This is a bad situation here."
"People should be living here."
"This property should be maintained."
"Look at the value of our homes here because of the properties that are abandoned."
"It's a win-win situation if the banks just allow the people to live in these homes."
"We're your friends, Banks. We're not your enemies."
"We need the banks to work with us."

"We need modifications, now."

What Do We Want?
Modifications!
When Do We Want Them?
Now!

Compare the Google Street View http://g.co/maps/wt38w from a few years ago to see the deterioration that has occurred at this location as these homes have been foreclosed by the banks.
