Homeless camp catches fire on I-35

It happened this morning way down on the south side of the city, but tents under Austin’s major overpasses (35, MoPac and 183) are a common site since we have a lack of affordable housing. Demand is outstripping the supply and this being Texas, there are numerous shit-bag landlords who like it that way. They also weasel their way out of providing anything for the poor. So I expect more of these accidents to happen. Hell, I was surprised this didn’t occur sooner with the deep freeze.

America needs to get over this crappy strategy of building out, we need to build up.
