She should hold that sidewinder saw with authority
Most contractors won’t even let an apprentice handle that powerful saw until ready
Low income ? $400,000. Houses
Why can't you fix the trajectory of low income families.
there are millions getting subpar education in rotten violent schools .
For example
Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state test scores released this fall. We paged through 16,000 lines of data and uncovered this: Of Baltimore City’s 39 High Schools, 13 had zero students proficient in math.
So of 39 baltimore schools ,13 schools had 0 students who could pass basic Math .
This is what being willing to do the extra work can get you. Most people want it handed to them.
Not really. The majority want to have Paid Ownership & Opportunities like Military Service & the hopefully revamped CCC bring for THE GOOD: (John McCain's Legacy/ies): McCain Institute🌅🗽💖🌉🎇🌆🎆🎁⛪
@@lornakim5008 The majority have the potential to devote themselves to sacrifice, but are often enfeebled in their discipline by government providing hand outs instead of demanding sacrifice.
It was handed to them though? If anyone was given this chance they would take it especially when you take location in account same with essentialy free materials,training, oversight and consulting from a contractor. A 400k payback for the home isnt so bad but idk they said only the building of the structure, not adding plumbing, electrical installation to that bill; if it comes with the 400k thats a steal and very lucky!
Its not that people arent willing to work hard its just not possible to really get anywhere when your family income is 50k-60k. With the rent around the bay being 30k-40k a year for average apts apart from the bills.

U mean like most boomer and gen x?
So they built temporary housing for the poor and full time housing for the rich 🤔
I’m so confused.. they’re building it themselves but paying $400,000. Are they being paid for their labor?
It's called sweat equity....these homes would normally go for at least double that amount. It's St. Helena!
Renee D oh wow, didn’t know it was that expensive!
So you have to put in 30 plus hours a week to help building your own home AND pay 400k to buy a townhome? PASS!!
Habitat For Humanity Partnerships, too!🌅🗽🌉🎈🎆🎁
So awesome
This is how we do shit in the 🇺🇸 makes me want to work harder makes me proud to be american.
Who bought the land and materials ?
Great guy to who ever owns that land and is paying for the material..
Habitat For Humanity revisited🎆
better build apartment building for 30-40 units otherwise SF has a long way to go
this is in napa
Building houses with newbies is nice and all... infill someone gets hurt and injured...
If someone drives a nail through their hand, it's on them. It's the risk you take if you want to build your own house.
I think this is a great program. They should be doing something similar with homeless. There are projects who hire homeless and ex incarcertaed people to get them trained and back up in their feet.
To honor Father Brenkle
I would be worried for Helenatians. This is will change the voting in the region. More taxes and bonds coming.
Worried for who? And why are you being a hater? There are programs for everyone if you look, this one is awesome tho SHOUT OUT TO LARRY!!!
0:58 "pretty good at nailing?" LOL
Did they get a permit? Usually they have to go through the permit process for safety
STFU they are doing well.
Typical liberal double standard hypocrisy i guess
MsLacy707 um they won’t be if it falls apart. Like that famous Incident at the Berkeley home. Near UC Berkeley campus
Why not moved out state ? Persona hypocritical arrogance at its finest
Just lower the prices overall . Life’s already hard for everyone. If not I’m moving elsewhere. Cap
Lower prices is quite easy. Let developers go crazy and overbuild with housing. City councils have to say yes to developers when developers want approval. The problem with current city councils is that they micromanage their cities like soviet central planning committees. The result is cities livable only for the rich.
Move out of the state commie troll if can't afford it!
St. Helena?
I didn't even know St Helena was part of the Bay Area.
