This really exceeds the quality (in terms of both technical expertise and substance) of local TV news "journalism". I see nothing but up up up with these sort of documentary shorts. Hopefully a way can be devised to get this stuff to a wider general audience. David and Marc, great job!

Just another joker playing the system. Revvie Stenhouse should be locked up next to Fillmore Ave's Weenie Man. An example of another quality control board member.

I like the third story round room with all the windows thing (sorry, I don't know the proper architectural term). Is that a room or just where the stairs are?

It is important to learn the composition of the Bethel CDC Board & publish names of members. There is a common culture of Bflo housing agencies that board members are 'defenders of the crown', not representatives of the community. I have long battled "housing malpractice" by WSNHS (Neigh Housing Service) where agency-owned houses were often in shameful condition for years. Board members were indifferent & rarely responded to questions or requests for action. Several years ago when I was monitoring Bethel, the City had "loaned" longtime cityhall housing bureaucrat Mickey Howard (husband of Buff State College President Muriel Howard) to run the agency. Is he still on the board? Who are others? We need to see the names & get their responses to this video. Such dramatic exposure of too-common 'housing malpractice' by housing agencies may help to push long-needed reform. Dick Kern (in Mpls) Excellent work!
