The concluding chapter critically re-examines the concept of home within the context of contemporary urban society, challenging both the romanticised portrayal of shared living and the taken-for-granted assumption that it offers a simple solution to the housing crisis. Drawing on participant narratives, it reveals how shared housing is marked by fragmentation, isolation, and transactional relationships driven by individual needs rather than communal bonds. Through the lens of language socialisation, the analysis highlights how house sharers develop pragmatic communication strategies to navigate the complexities of shared living. These strategies prioritise coexistence and conflict avoidance, replacing unattainable ideals such as close friendships or networks with a professional approach to shared living. Communication with housemates is often brief, functional, and carefully managed to minimise interpersonal risks. The chapter also connects these findings to the neoliberal pressures underlying the housing crisis, positioning shared housing as a normalised response to precarious living conditions. It underscores how economic instability and identity-based precarities shape the experience of shared living, transforming the meaning of home. By exploring these dynamics, the conclusion offers a critical perspective on the interplay between housing, communication, and the precarious conditions of contemporary society.
