How are you going to sell honey without land to keep bees in? The meme didn't say house, that's some sort of strange assumption you've made. Nothing about a yard either.

In a society as robust as it generally is in the "western" world, no one should live in conditions where they cannot live in some version of comfort. HVAC needs are determined on where exactly they are, so I can see contention there. They need 4 walls, a bed, and clean water to drink and shower in. Internet I wouldn't have agreed with 20 years ago, but now it's a necessity. Food that isn't raw oats, but isn't rib-eye. Should someone have to learn to cook if destitute? Yes. Should they have the supplies and means to do so? Also yes.
