If they're of Boomer age they can collect a social security check and live cheaply in the country. Anyone that age on the street is there by choice.
My boss is a boomer and has 2 homes paid off, a Jaguar and collecting social security. He admits he partied through the 60s 70s and 80s and life was just easy. Had a convertible at 16, college paid for with summer jobs. Could walk into a place and ask for a job. And he grew up lower middle class as a Mexican.
Unless they were drafted for Vietnam and have issues stemming from that or are having issues with mental illness there really is zero excuse to be homeless as a boomer, they lived through the most prosperous eras of the USA.
Exactly. They lived in the era before our economy was based on interest and debt. Before the artificial scarcities and taxes on everything. Times were good. Which is why it's odd that so many of them rebelled and called their parents fascists despite their fathers killing actual fascists.
The exception you mentioned was Vietnam. I have sympathy for anyone struggling with mental illness or PTSD, so I don't count them.
