Ravines For The Homeless?

 A fire at a Toronto homeless camp killed a man on May 1; this was the seventh death by fire at a Toronto encampment since 2010, and is the 33rd fire involving a homeless encampment this year. The recent one was in the ravine near the wealthy district at Bloor Street East and Mount Pleasant Road. 

This prompted Mayor, John Tory, to call for more affordable housing to reduce the needs for camps in the first place. Most of the homeless camps in Toronto are set in ravines and there is no social distancing hence the threat of the virus spreading. 

Tory and his kind can squirm and struggle all they want to deal with it, but it would be better if there were no homeless in the first place, but then under capitalism wealth only trickles up.
