This comment is really hard to parse.

"homelessness", "pollution" and "healthy" are abstractions that try to capture in single concept a myriad of different realities, and most of us won't have similar concrete representation of what's behind them. This of course becomes an issue real fast because because solving "homelessness" for instance requires separating all these different cases in their own buckets and coming with appropriate solutions to all of them.

Also money is as real as the food you buy with it, the electricity that comes if you keep paying your bills and the factories you buy with them.
