No Place Like HomeThe Missing Key to Our Housing Crisis\nAuthor(s): Jessica Barrett\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Penguin Random House Group\nImprint: Viking Press USA\nISBN-13: 9780735250253, 978-0735250253\nSynopsis\nAfter living in Vancouver for her entire adult life, Jessica Barrett packed up her apartment, quit her dream job as a magazine editor, and headed for Calgary in search of an affordable place to call home. In the years since Barrett was priced out of Vancouver, the issue of housing affordability has become a national crisis, fanning the flames of social inequality and setting us up for financial ruin. But our obsession with rising housing prices obscures a more complex and pressing issue: we have lost our reverence for and our understanding of home. In No Place Like Home, Barrett dives behind the headlines and statistics of Canada's housing crisis to examine how it has eaten away at our psyches by undermining our human needs for belonging, connection, and stability.
