This episode exposes how housing has shifted from a basic human necessity to a financial asset controlled by investors, corporations, and speculators. It covers rising rents, corporate landlords, gentrification, and short-term rental platforms as forces pushing people out of their homes. The episode argues that homelessness and unaffordable housing are not inevitable—they are the result of treating homes as profit machines instead of places to live. It calls for policies that put people before profit, reclaiming housing as a human right rather than an investment strategy.
