Luisa Omielan's Politics For Bitches

Episode 1 - Housing

Luisa tackles the housing crisis: she wants to find out why so many of us can't afford to buy a home, even if we're working full time. Luisa is looking for a home herself, so this is perfect timing. But on her budget, getting a mortgage for more than a parking space proves difficult, so Luisa looks at the alternatives - from speed flatmating nights, to becoming a property guardian.
