Is the housing market really in crisis? How do we fix this, and what can Canadians looking to buy — or looking to rent affordably — do? Let's discuss this and more in this week's episode of Money Feels! 

We're your hosts, Alyssa and Bridget. Welcome to the podcast, where we talk through our money trauma and create a better understanding of building a healthy relationship with finance.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

• Introducing the author of The Tenant Class, Ricardo Tranjan
• Why he wrote the book
• The argument for why there is NO housing crisis in Canada
• The role of supply in the housing market
• Problem-solving theories perpetuating the status quo
• The term 'affordability'
• Landlord profits and who landlords really are
• Rent control — the realities of who benefits
• Tenant advocacy and unions
