In this talk, Peter Fousek blends personal storytelling with professional insight to question how housing has shifted from a basic human need to a profit-driven commodity. He explores why prioritizing accessibility, safety, stability, tenant rights, and responsible landlords is essential to creating balanced, community-centered places where people can truly live. Peter Fousek has served as Secretary-Treasurer of the Connecticut Tenants Union, a democratic, member-driven organization composed of affiliated chapters around the state, since his election to the role at the Unions founding membership convention in 2023. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
