Controlled Burn

This is all that is left of Levita's "home". I'm not sure if the fire was accidental or on purpose. As far as I know, neither her, Darwin, or Old School had ever started a drum fire under the tracks, for the very reason of NOT having the Fire Department called out.

 

I know there have been instances where the fire department would come out to a living quarters such as this and do a controlled burn. I guess it makes it easier for Streets and Sanitation to clean up, as opposed to beds and boxes.

 

My best guess is the neighborhood businesses most likely complained about the "mess" under the tracks and had the city "clean it up". I'm sorry, but from all appearances, the city didn't make it any more respectable.
