I prefer vagrant.
American? No. Leftist idiots? Yes. Those people are obsessed with euphemisms. See also juveniles, teens, and youths.

Unhoused and unwaged.

The author is an American? Are you sure? He seems to write about a lot of British stuff.
I was listening to a New Discourses podcast the other day, which claims that the left in America use terms like ‘unhoused’ instead of homeless to suggest that someone has done their lack of a home to them, rather than the homeless person being too drugged up, chaotic or nuts to keep a house. It’s twisting language to support an agenda.
