Ok Mr Preach to the world, I tell you what: take a 50% pay cut at your job (You work in the West Loop, I believe?) with that money going towards paying a low income family to work alongside you.
Agree to that, and I’ll agree to rent out an entire building at half my current asking rent.

i lived for 3 years in africa, a year in Haiti, and a year in honduras during some of the prime working years of my life to practice what i preach. i continue to support the causes i care about through donations i make from my day job, and volunteerism on the side (currently involved with Heartland Alliance and various homeless outreach programs). if you need validation from me to make choices in your own life or become involved in causes that actively work to make the world less shitty for more people, that says more about you. the thing is, i fully acknowledge the system is shit/cruel/unfair/exploitative and would be thrilled to see it dismantled and replaced. i suspect you dont feel that way though
