Housing is everywhere right now: prices, rents, mortgages, new laws, taxes, landlords, tenants, public housing… and every day brings a new headline.

I created The Cost of Living to try to understand what’s really going on.

Here I share what I discover about housing, politics and economics: current news, controversial cases, data, laws, events and conferences, and the questions that come up along the way.

It’s not about having all the answers, but about investigating, comparing different perspectives and learning together what lies behind the headlines.

Because every decision has consequences.

And in the end, someone pays the bill.
