Lando also addressed the dialogue online about people’s mindset that those who live in the area are wealthy individuals and therefore will be able to come back, saying, “That’s not the majority of this neighborhood.”

“Most of the people are just hard-working people who have lived there for generations,” he said. “My wife’s parents live down the street, or lived, and they lost their home after more than forty years. Our house wasn’t big or luxurious, but it was our home and I worked so hard on it.”
Later in the video, Lando tearfully thanks “everyone who has been so generous” to him and his family during this difficult time, and promises to repay the kindness.
