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 contributing to the problem which is driven by unregulated capitalism, 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.
So wait… progressives and leftists are people who have never been homeless or dedicated to helping the homeless?
Listen I don’t need you preaching this shit in my backyard kthxbye
