On this episode of The Cost of Everything, dive into the current realities of renting. Host Christy Ai investigates the financial burdens faced by renters, who often find themselves funding others’ investments due to the challenges of high interest rates and a fiercely competitive housing market. Joining the discussion is real estate economist Ken Johnson, who sheds light on the factors influencing renting trends among specific cities and generations, and the obstacles hindering the pursuit of the American dream of homeownership.

Culdesac is a new neighborhood development in Tempe, Arizona designed around "car free" living. Praised for being environmentally friendly and its walking distance convenience, is this essentially the nations first "15 minute city?"

“This is all part of this public control over your private property,” Elze van Hamelen warned #CHDTV viewers. “Instead of just directly taking land from people, they do it through administrative controls.

“They decide, based on these controls, where people can live and where they cannot live.”

Across the globe, governments have been building “smart cities” and “15-minute zones” as well as “nature-protected areas,” such as the EU’s Natura 2000, which covers more than 25% of the total EU territory.

These programs are laying the groundwork for what Elze called the “big remodeling” — a project which widens the door to greater control: “They want to remodel the whole country.”

While the Dutch farmers suffer now, we will be the ones to pay the price later on.

“It’s destroying civilization.”

Former leader and founding member of Hamas, Khalid Mashal, gave a speech today urging Muslims all around the world to take part in a” Global Day of Jihad,” this Friday, October 13th.

Mashal called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood”, and asked Muslims to display their anger. He stated it will send a message of rage to Zionists and to America. He also asked for financial help from all Muslims around the world; calling it, “Financial Jihad”. He called for political pressure from Muslim leaders and Muslim nations. Perhaps the most concerning thing he asked for, is for all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls and to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa. To go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means. He said, “This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory.” He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spell their blood on the land of Palestine. His speech ended with, ”Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls.”

“First: We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger. Second: We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation. “Third: Our people within the occupied territories of 1948, people of honor and courage, who have borne much to preserve their Palestinian-Arab identity. This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and stand united in guarding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Preserve it, its Islamic heritage, its divine message, and prevent settler gangs from desecrating it. Thwart the fascist occupation’s plans to divide it, Judaize it, and build their alleged temple. Unite with your people in Gaza and the West Bank. Fourth: We call upon the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and our Palestinian people in all places, including refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of our beloved Palestine in massive gatherings. On this day, we declare our solidarity with Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. For those geographically distant, let them gather at the nearest point leading to Jerusalem. Fifth: We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.”

On this episode of The Cost of Everything we take a closer look at the economic toll companies are taking when it comes to theft. This is a phenomenon that is making big merchant retailers close their doors because of the massive amounts of retail theft in cities like San Francisco and New York. But, what about in other parts of the world? Is retail robbery affecting companies in Africa? Host Christy Ai spoke to Retail Boss Jeanel Alvarado about the devastating consequences of retail theft that goes unpunished. Later in the show, Clinton Nzala from Kenya explains how theft is not as common in his country, and the measures retail businesses take to avoid it.
