- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips, an unidentified woman is wrapping a crystal dish and bowl, and a serving platter in newspaper, then packing them in boxes. As she works, she discusses the rental situation: "We have looked at approximately 35 houses. These houses, some of them the floors were fallen through, the walls are not in good shape. It just isn't good at all. Where are people that can't afford to buy their homes, when they are no longer available for public housing, when they are no longer eligible, where can these people go? You can't find a decent house, and the houses that are fit to live in and in good condition are rented before the people move out of them. The problem is these houses are high rent, the floors have fallen through, the walls are no good, the windows are broken out, the pipes are exposed, and when you move into them, you're going to have the problem of frozen, bursted pipes. An you can't ... if your landlord is not the type of landlord who will fix up a house after a pipe's broken, what are you gonna do?" The last clips show the outside of a house; the woman walking up the front step to the door; entering the house; water damage on the ceiling; the kitchen.
