A Roof Over Our Heads – Housing with Dr. Tim White

Show notes

In this episode, Robert Keeling and Sabine Pusch meet Tim White in a lovely square in the heart of London that was once synonymous with London’s homelessness problem: Lincoln’s Inn fields. Here we discuss the history of land ownership and rents in Berlin and London and explore what can be done about this strange loophole that’s now being exploited by corporate landlords across Berlin. To find out more, have a look at Tim’s article in the Guardian Newspaper: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/22/berlin-housing-crisis-germany-rents-flats
