“To be able to say ‘home.’ Stability consists of something so basic, so vital, and so difficult to achieve today. The foundation upon which everything else is built.” How does the place we inhabit influence us? How do the conditions of access to housing determine our present and our future? In this book, somewhere between literary reportage, memoir, and journalistic analysis, Llucia Ramis addresses the housing problem in our country while recounting her own story as a tenant in the apartments she has lived in over the last three decades. A personal and sentimental chronicle of the spaces and people that shaped different stages of her life, as well as a map of the progressive gentrification of our cities and the causes and consequences of rising housing prices.
