Show Notes
Will Faarea ever be able to buy a house? Or will she be renting for life? Rahat gives her a curated list of alternative options; from 3-D printed homes, shared ownership, to buying a house in The Gambia. She also rails against gentrification, while Faarea elaborates on how it has been a key factor to her successful AirBnB side hustle. Professor Danny Dorling gives a quick history of housing in this country and offers a solution to the current housing crisis. Spoiler: It’s not building more homes.
