Issue 27: A dose of realty

Now that we have a property expert on the books (read Tess O'Brien’s unhinged MediaDiet here), it made sense for this issue of COMMPRESS to turn its focus to the housing market.

If there’s one thing Tess brings to the table, it’s a clear-eyed view of how off-course the conversation around property has become. For too long, the narrative has been fuelled by aspiration: prestige listings, lifestyle fantasy, investment returns. Meanwhile, we’re in a full-blown housing emergency.
