BS lol, the poorest Americans still have much better qualities of life in people in less developed countries. Water from lead pipes is still much cleaner then the water people drink from in Bangladesh or sub-Saharan Africa, and unlike people in those countries they can afford bottled/filtered water, or publicly available water from fountains (sounds bad but its a huge luxury in the 3rd world). The poorest Americans have electricity, and unlike the global impoverished living in shanty towns, poor Americans aside from the homeless have permanent insulated residencies or at the very least ventilated trailers. Poor Americans also generally have paved or gravel roads and automobiles. They also have much better and easier access to healthcare, even if it isnt free it usually is for the poor via Medicare and even without Medicare, its better to be alive with debt (as hospitals have to treat someone regardless of if they can pay) then dead. Plus the US poverty line is on par with the average income in global middle income nations like China or Mexico, even after adjusting for cost of living. I lived in the poorest part of East Oakland as a kid, and theres been months of my life where I survived off nothing but ramen, raisins, school lunches, and public park water since our water was shut off cuz we couldnt afford the bill. But even then, Id say I was living more comfortably then the poor in developing nations
It really isn't. You don't have to go that far. Just head down to the US/Mexico border to Tijuana, Mexico. That place is a mess. The US really is much better... but as someone else said, Americans are just spoiled.

It's shameful to see how some of our communities are treated. This cannot be happining in our backyard. A comment won't do anything for clean water, but bringing it up to people who can do something about it is much needed.
They will privatise the effort. The government will grant contracts to private companies depending on which company makes the biggest campaign contributions, and then the companies will just skim the money.

From a human decency standpoint and the fact that some people don't have the financial stability to not rent, yeah, it makes sense to require the replacement.
If we can't depend on slumlords to fix the pipes of the properties they own, maybe we don't need landlords then? I think Mao might have been on to something.
Not really in the first world,re European countries actually give a crap about their domestic infrastructure. In regards to public health safety the EU is miles head of the US. To add insult to injury a massive building just recently collapsed in Florida. $800 billion a year on the military, virtually nothing spent on infrastructure. If the US put its focus on domestic infrastructure, it would surpass every country and would be a far more advanced society.
Yup, that's why this society is going crazier and crazier... It's the lead causing neural degeneration.... Rome fell from their lead contaminated drinking water... everyone went crazy... from the politicians to the working class.
For most of American history lead pipes were the standard way to bring water to everyone's home. That's why plumbing is not called coppering or ironing. So yes, I'm sure 95% of black and Hispanic homes would have had lead lines. The narrator never gave such an exact figure for European neighborhoods. So I feel the issue is being presented by the reporter in a divisive, tendentious way that may not be accurate. I am pretty sure there are many white neighborhoods who have the same problems with lead plumbing. I have the sense the issue is more about class than ethnicity. I think the issue could have been presented in a more winning fashion.
Gutted and renovated our home a few years ago. We wanted a certain style of kitchen sink fixtures but couldn't import anything from the USA because they're still made with lead. Exceptional in not a good way.
It is called "free turning brass" or "machine brass" its the base metal in couplers and hardware. Lead is added to aluminum for the same reason but less.
Plumbing fixtures and fittings went to completely lead free a few years back. And I seriously doubt that the minute amount of lead that was mixed in with the brass was ever a problem.
That is what was communicated to me by the project manager of our renovation. The faucets we preferred were prohibited for importation by the Canadian Government as to the determination the lead content was to high. Cuz, regulations and safety standards, something parts of the Amuricon diaspora seem to be irrationally opposed to, as evidenced by the apparant widespread lead problems in your oh so exceptional country.
@@mrnobody3161 I was merely stating that was just a few years ago so you could probably get them now. At any rate the tiny amount of lead that was in the brass fittings was not an issue. And yes this is an exceptional country.
I mean, if you are able to capture the evaporated water and then condense it you would make most of it disappear. What these people are doing is only exasperating the issue. Boiling the water means that there will be a higher concentration of lead. If you have a gallon of water with lead and then boil half of it you would actually double the amount in the water since the lead is too heavy to rise.
putting industrual waste producing factories in neighborhoods of poc in the case of this video . it's not directly harming them but it is negatively affecting the environment they are living in , and often can't leave from , thus affecting them .
environmental class war would be more accurate. the poor people live downwind of the factory and the rich live upwind, most cities are divided E/W and/or N/S. same way with school funding done by property taxes. the rich get better schools, less air pollution, and get their pipes replaced first.
9:15 "The liability will be on the owner to **want** to fix it" How is it a choice to provide safe drinking water to your renters? In Germany, homeowners have to replace lead pipes - because of course they do.
I also live in Germany. I'm baffled that they used this until 1987😑 Archaeologists found a lot of lead poisoning in Roman populations, because they used lead alloys in tableware.
1st; “lead free” plumbing brass isn’t completely free of lead. 2nd; where’s the plumbers?.. There’s a massive shortage of skilled trades people. Solution: A tuition free school for plumbing if completed to all persons who want to learn and practice a trade… That could lead to new innovations that could find a better product better then lead laced products.
Plumbing is tough, nasty, and demanding work. A whole generation of kids were told to go to college to not have to do that sort of work. If your in the right sector, plumbing is a 6 figure job.
In my state, they put out notices for apprentices, you just had to show up and pass a simple math test. Nobody passed the simple "how many inches in a foot, how to measure diameter" type questions so nobody got the slots. We let the schools go to hell and now we're paying the price.
Which is 1 out of every 10 houses in the country, even worse worldwide. Imagine how many millions of people just sipped lead in tiny amounts, and can't think fully 100 because so
@@PHlophe regardless, a lot of people still purchase homes without an inspection and find out later. As a homeowner/landlord it's your own responsibility to fix it or not.
You have a very simplistic understanding of how the US works. We have a National, State, County, City govt system. Each one makes their own rules in 50 states with numerous counties and cities with 300 million people. It's up to them to decide. If you chose to live in Flint or Detroit you aren't the brightest bulb already. Also the leaded plumbing isn't just part of the local homes, the majority of it is under the ground run by the city and county (municipality) built over 100 years ago. So no, landlords that own a house can't fix it, but people who live in all these homes can. You go to Walmart and spend $5 on an NSF certified water filter and problem fixed. Instead these morons spend $100/mo on a new iphone subscription every 3-6 months and $10-$20/day on Starbucks. Don't feel sorry for them.
It’s a real thing. Historically black Americans have been purposely placed into industrial areas where they get adverse health issues. You know redlining was a thing right?
They’re not responsible for pipes in your house so don’t get it twisted. You will have to replace pipes from the meter to and throughout your house. County will stop at their service meter.
the city should be responsible for any pipes put in and not kept in proper condition in their cities boundaries, that's part of the issue. Hell its factual you own a deed to your land but that it can be taken back by government action at any point, so if the government wants that much control they can upkeep all their infrastructure.
@@klayman2 oh no doubt but that stops at the meter. You are responsible for everything on your own property. Don’t think the city will repipe your house because you installed or you bought a 60 year old house it’s yours and the responsibility that comes with it. Save your money because where you live up north it’ll will cost 10x as much because of your union workers that stand around watching each other work. Good luck
I think lead pipes are a major reason the 90s crime wave never really ended in some cities. Crime has dropped in many areas after leaded gas was banned. But in Chicago, Detroit, Flint, St. Louis, Baltimore, and a bunch of other places, the crime rate didn't go down that much. Kids are still getting poisoned with lead from pipes and paint.
But the city will fine you for getting a paint chip on the ground that 100% of the time never has lead paint in it. But it’s cool for your water to be ran thru lead pipes. Beyond insane
Why would she not test her water for lead? Given that she’s a renter, the landlord would be on the hook, and she is already buying bottled water- a positive test would give her $ breathing room. Seems like she is leaning into the victim mentality and not wanting to do anything to better her situation.
At least we now have an excuse for why our children score so low in every subject, when compared to the intelligence of children in Asia. It's the lead pipes! Not our crappy education system.
You can't trust the water out in Westside (which includes Little Village), Eastside and Southside. Those are where many of the heavy industrial factories are located. Northside's water is probably the only safe drinkable water. Surrounding Suburbs are fairly safe. Most of the Chicago officials have generally been too occupied with lining their pockets.

Water from lead pipes is still much cleaner then the water people drink from in Bangladesh or sub-Saharan Africa, and unlike people in those countries they can afford bottled/filtered water, or publicly available water from fountains (sounds bad but its a huge luxury in the 3rd world). The poorest Americans have electricity, and unlike the global impoverished living in shanty towns, poor Americans aside from the homeless have permanent insulated residencies or at the very least ventilated trailers. Poor Americans also generally have paved or gravel roads and automobiles. They also have much better and easier access to healthcare, even if it isnt free it usually is for the poor via Medicare and even without Medicare, its better to be alive with debt (as hospitals have to treat someone regardless of if they can pay) then dead. Plus the US poverty line is on par with the average income in global middle income nations like China or Mexico, even after adjusting for cost of living. I lived in the poorest part of East Oakland as a kid, and theres been months of my life where I survived off nothing but ramen, raisins, school lunches, and public park water since our water was shut off cuz we couldnt afford the bill. But even then, Id say I was living more comfortably then the poor in developing nations

For most of American history lead pipes were the standard way to bring water to everyone's home. That's why plumbing is not called coppering or ironing. So yes, I'm sure 95% of black and Hispanic homes would have had lead lines. The narrator never gave such an exact figure for European neighborhoods. So I feel the issue is being presented by the reporter in a divisive, tendentious way that may not be accurate. I am pretty sure there are many white neighborhoods who have the same problems with lead plumbing. I have the sense the issue is more about class than ethnicity. I think the issue could have been presented in a more winning fashion.
Newark literally has this problem thru the entire city but supposedly they're fixing it

Gutted and renovated our home a few years ago. We wanted a certain style of kitchen sink fixtures but couldn't import anything from the USA because they're still made with lead. Exceptional in not a good way.
It is called "free turning brass" or "machine brass" its the base metal in couplers and hardware. Lead is added to aluminum for the same reason but less.
Plumbing fixtures and fittings went to completely lead free a few years back. And I seriously doubt that the minute amount of lead that was mixed in with the brass was ever a problem.
That is what was communicated to me by the project manager of our renovation. The faucets we preferred were prohibited for importation by the Canadian Government as to the determination the lead content was to high. Cuz, regulations and safety standards, something parts of the Amuricon diaspora seem to be irrationally opposed to, as evidenced by the apparant widespread lead problems in your oh so exceptional country.

You have a very simplistic understanding of how the US works. We have a National, State, County, City govt system. Each one makes their own rules in 50 states with numerous counties and cities with 300 million people. It's up to them to decide. If you chose to live in Flint or Detroit you aren't the brightest bulb already. Also the leaded plumbing isn't just part of the local homes, the majority of it is under the ground run by the city and county (municipality) built over 100 years ago. So no, landlords that own a house can't fix it, but people who live in all these homes can. You go to Walmart and spend $5 on an NSF certified water filter and problem fixed.
