Binyamin Appelbaum Politics

Binyamin was part of a team of reporters at The Charlotte Observer in 2007  that helped shed light on the area’s high rate of housing foreclosures and also questionable sales practices by one of the United States’ largest homebuilders called Beazer Homes USA. A profile of  Binyamin’s reporting on the subprime mortgage crisis described how well prior to the nation knew about the coming crisis in mortgage lending.

While compiling a list of foreclosed homes in North Carolina’s Mecklenburg County, Binyamin realized that there was a strange pattern. Lusters were concentrated on new developments.  He wondered if faulty loans were behind the trend. The Observer′s series led to FBI, SEC, IRS, as well as HUD investigations of Beazer Homes. The investigation has since stopped Beazer Homes USA from making mortgage loans nationwide. They also stopped building homes in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Floyd Norris of The New York Times wrote “Beazer’s crime wave might have gone on longer than it did, but for a North Carolina newspaper, The Charlotte Observer.” The series won a George Polk Award, a Gerald Loeb Award for Medium Newspapers, and became a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in public service. On November 8, 2018, Binyamin’s tweet claimed the term ‘gaslighting’ was not an “actual English word.”  He sent lookups for the word on Merriam-Webster.com up 14,000%, putting it on their list of trending terms.

Binyamin Appelbaum Blue States | Political Party

He prepared an option video and an article about the Blue States alongside Johnny Harris. They said in their video that it is easy to blame the other side. It’s obvious for many Democrats that Republicans are thwarting progress toward a more equal society. Binyamin asked the question, what happens when Republicans aren’t standing in the way? According to him, Democrats control all the levers of power in many states including California, New York, and Illinois.

Democrats run the government, they are responsible for writing the laws and often aren’t living up to their values. In key respects, many blue states are actually doing worse than red states. Affordable housing is often the hardest to find in the blue states. Some of the most acute disparities in education funding as well as economic inequality is increasing most quickly in the blue states.
