Living on less than half of the federal poverty level is considered “deep poverty.” That describes 53% of impoverished Chicagoans.

Conservatives: Lazy welfare queens and druggies! They just don’t want to work! They chose to be this way! They should all be arrested and/or executed.
Progressives: throws money vaguely in that direction without direction Look we’re helping! We’re doing all we can.
Leftists: This is the fault of the capitalist system run by an ownership class!
Those of us who’ve been homeless or near homeless and those genuinely dedicated to helping the homeless: We need a comprehensive approach that takes all the challenges that cause homelessness into account and addresses them as a whole and in a meaningful way to create a long term sustainable solution.
Conservatives, Progressives, and Leftists to us: Shut the fuck up! What do you know about any of this? We’ll figure it out! Now shut the fuck up!
This is a weird take to me. One of the groups is not like the other two in your own example. It is obvious that there is a huge wealth gap driven by unregulated capitalism which is contributing to the problem, and multiple studies have shown that homeless people that receive free money (i.e. a universal basic income) use that money to stop being homeless.
Leftists are aware that homelessness is a feature of capitalism. Dismantling capitalism is how to fix your problem. With capitalism still in play, homelessness only increases.
Listen I don’t need you preaching this shit in my backyard kthxbye
So wait… progressives and leftists are people who have never been homeless or dedicated to helping the homeless?
