“Mike Krouse critiques the expense, or affordability, of having a ‘Home.’ Framed by neon light, it echoes the No Vacancy rule for those who are not in the financial position to gain shelter, much more a home. The work presents current issues on gentrification and the phenomena of suburban sprawl, all but a chilling effect in the culture of commodification.”
