They’re talking about how it is ridiculous that nothing but pure luck and circumstance of a screwed up housing market/system means they ended up with a sweet deal with affordable quality housing while their friend is forced to deal with living in a closet for much higher prices despite working hard.

I get that but

> despite working hard

that's a non-sequitur. Migrant laborers on farms work absurdly hard. "Work hard and get more" is practically a boomerism at this point. There are many reasons to work hard, but none of them have to do with guaranteed home ownership
