1. Worked in tech for 30 years (which implies pretty good salary) along with actual number of 150k for at least some of those years.
2. We have a first-hand account from his step-son that says he was really bad with his money.
3. Then we have irrational behavior staying in a place that he most definitely can't afford and choosing to be homeless in expensive area instead of not homeless in more reasonable area based on his SS income.

Yes, people who don't make a lot of money will have more problems than someone who does make a lot of money. That's why I said kicking them while they are down doesn't make sense. That doesn't mean that the guy who made a lot of money and pissed it away isn't responsible for his current situation.
