You say that like most people would agree with you. I'm my experience, most people think people are homeless because they're lazy and/or lack values or something
Just slipping the concept into gen pop discourse here.
We are a generation away from this concept foing mainstream, no doubt about it.
But once boomers die off, we can start talking solutions to a commonly accepted and properly ID'ed problem
Ain't nobody conviving deeabeetus boomer that poors don't in fact deserve being homeless.
It's caused by a very common cognitive bias called the Just World Hypothesis.
It's tha same thing that makes people ask cancer patients what they "did" to get cancer.
Everyone wants to believe that their own good fortune is deserved and the corollary that unfortunate people deserve misfortune.
I hope I'm wrong but I think you're going to find that it's not generational.
