For a Walrus essay by David Moscrop on how buying a house made him complicit in Canada’s housing crisis, Romain Lasser draws the house as a mailbox stuffed with financial paperwork, pushing the owner out onto the curb. His dog sits beside him, the only thing here that isn’t an asset. The house is a retirement plan, and nothing lives in it but the mail.
