Economist and author of In This Economy?"No Place Like Home is an essential read for anyone who cares about the future of housing. Through sharp reporting and rich storytelling, Jessica Barrett proves that we can fix the abiding crisis of our time. This book gave me hope."
Charles Montgomery on No Place Like Home
Author of Happy City and co-founder of Happy Cities"A soulful antidote to our housing crisis. A rallying cry that preserves and decommodifies the very human idea of 'home.' Barrett describes, in elegant prose, why today's conception of shelter as an investor-focused asset is doomed to fail. Then she points the way past toxic real estate and toward real homes and real communities. Vital and fascinating!"
Michael Harris on No Place Like Home
Author of All We Want and The End of Absence"No Place Like Home is an incredible feat: an intricately woven examination of the fundamental concept of home that forces the reader to reexamine the question of the housing crisis from an entirely new angleāone filled with humanity and, somehow, hope. Barrett manages a complex task as a writer in these pages, balancing the vulnerability of memoir with the rigour of journalistic research; the end result is compelling and urgent, personal and political, worrisome and optimistic."
