Our feelings about housing are political, and a grasp of them is essential to solving the housing crisis - from the author of They Call It Love
Our feelings about housing are political, and a grasp of them is essential to solving the housing crisis from the author of They Call It Love
Housing is more than bricks and mortar. The home is where our hopes and dreams play out, and it lies at the heart of our lives. This is where we rest, eat, and relax. The home we enjoy can determine our health, life expectancy, and day-to-day well-being. In contrast, the lack of a stable residence can lead to mental and physical illness and often premature death. This is central to how we conceive of a good and dignified life.
Feeling at Home grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby makes clear that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It is about revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.
