Individually, it depends upon the boomer. There were/are some boomers who kept the candles of survival and self-reliance lit and there were many based boomers.
As a group however, they plundered the legacy that their fathers had left them. Benefiting both psychologically and monetarily off the stability of society, they then proceded to tear down the very core values that had led to their betterment leaving nothing for future generations but salted earth and home movies.
Much of this blame also goes to the greatest generation who unwittingly raised ungrateful brats during the national peace that followed WW2.
What legacy? The greatest generation are the ones who plundered Europe and left it smoking. Greatest shabbos goyim in existence more like. Hope all that raping and bombing of Germans was worth it.
I wasn't implying an architectural legacy but was instead referring to several societal legacies:
- Marriage and the nuclear family
- Church
- Civic duty and pride
- Grand narratives (ex. human reason as the basis for understanding)
Edit:

You're right of course. The fall of the european legacy meant the enevitable fall of our societal pillars.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment.
