You mean like the still-existing and highly complex gift economies of natives all across the globe that have no homelessness?

Move there then.

the indigenous economies that I identify with and would be interested in participating in were destroyed by the British 1000 years before I was born.
I'd rather not be a colonizer in an indigenous economy.

You acted like they still existed. In that case my original point still applies.

Those gift economies don't work at scale and you would probably have a significantly worse quality of life if you were born to one.

There are still indigenous economies in the world. The ones that I identify with were destroyed by the British though.
