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

    Not sure why you even went to the effort to link this because it’s almost completely irrelevant. The cost of living in Chicago and Morocco are not even remotely the same so trying to make the point that people elsewhere in the world can survive off that much so people on Chicago should is nonsense. That’s assuming we’d even consider people in Morocco living on that much as having a decent quality of life.

      Exactly, the cost of living is different …and there are reasons for that. it’s so obvious to me and yet you people don’t see it. Don’t bother you don’t have the right mindset.

        Enlighten us because nothing in your comment bothered to go into any of the reasons so why even make it if you then don’t want to follow up.

          Notice how in my previous answer I took the effort to highlight in which way I agreed with your point. Do the same and we can start to talk.
