    They will probably cover it through the eyes of suburban PMC's who are worried about the new nearby favelas are damaging their property values and bringing crime and drugs to their neighborhood.

      Right now we don't have favelas simply because we don't afford the poor even that luxury. I wonder if that will change in the next few weeks. Holy Christ.

        Just thinking about the Toronto encampment crackdowns. The one in Trinity bellwoods resulted in bulldozing of the tents and personal property of the campers, and the bulldozing of a publicly funded community garden "just in case" there was more property hiding there.

        There were 26 arrests at the last one, mainly of heroes defending the encampments. Lots of injuries too.

        Toronto sucks, but I would bet the US cities would go to a lot larger lengths to ensure that favelas and encampments are broken and destroyed.

          Kkkanada doesn't allow them either, while many countries with larger underclasses know how disastrous to the ruling class it would be to simply bulldoze the slums. That violence would be reciprocated.
