I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

    I genuinely don’t know how to solve this until the boomers all fucking die. Which is clearly not a great solution to boomer homelessness.

      It’s a class issue, the idle rich of every generation will oppose change until the reins of power are taken away from them and given back to the people.

      I honestly wonder just how many of the homeless babyboomers have kids who are perfectly capable of helping them, but want absolutely no contact with their parents.

        Distant family boomer of mine is close to homelessness since he isn't selling his 10 bedroom house to shrink, since he doesn't want to live with other people. Could live on 30k from sold house + 25k pension after taxes for the next 35 years.
