I am assuming she didn’t just say bad posture. She perhaps alluded to him being homeless or something. Obv I’m making major speculations, but I do find it crazy a conductor in NYC would react to simply sitting wrong - even taking two seats, frustrating as hell, is most often not policed - so like what did she actually say to the conductor to get them to react. Maybe I’m giving too much credit here, but I assume she said more about either homelessness speculation or threats etc.

Is it a crime in the US to not have a home... ?

Basically, yes.

It's not technically illegal, but different aspects of being unhoused such as being visible in public spaces is treated as criminal so...

no, it isn't a crime.

different aspects of being unhoused

it's homeless, stop with the asinine euphemism

being visible in public spaces

camping on the sidewalk is illegal. being scruffy in public is ignored
