Why people recommend it
There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone is a work of narrative non-fiction examining the reality of the working homeless and the housing crisis in America through the lives of families in and around the Atlanta area. On an episode of The Book Review, Emily Eakin introduced the title for discussion during a segment covering notable books. Furthermore, on Breaking Points, Krystal Ball and the show's host welcomed guest Brian Goldstone to discuss his new publication, highlighting how the book digs deeply into the lives of the working poor and the working homeless who are doing everything they can to survive yet still face housing instability. The hosts emphasized that Goldstone's investigation captures a growing, overlooked reality where employment no longer guarantees shelter. Through these podcast appearances, the book is framed as an urgent and deeply reported examination of modern American poverty, drawing attention to systemic housing failures and the private equity forces impacting workers and families struggling to secure a stable place to live.
