A home is 1 form a shelter. The luxury form. Much in the way a Ferrari is a form of transport vs a bike. The meme doesn’t show shelter in the context of a basic right. It’s showing a luxury good among other luxury goods.

Rent goes up too as property prices go up, because they know they can get away with it. And those are basically your 2 options unless you’re lucky enough to know people willing to house you for free (buy then they’re still struggling with prices).
I’m lucky enough that I have the option to fall back on my parents tight now, but I need to leave Florida for safety reasons and wherever I go I will not know anybody and hence not get that 3rd option.
