Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is pushing out homeless people out of the city in Edinburgh, Scotland, in order to free up space for huge numbers of tourists expected to attend the pop star’s concert in June.
BBC was informed by Shelter Scotland Wednesday that many homeless people supported by charity were transported to Glasgow, Aberdeen and Newcastle through Taxi, to free up accommodations.The cities are approximately more than two hours away from their original stays in Edinburgh.
Due “severe shortage in accommodation caused by the concert,” several homeless people, reportedly offered temporary housing at hotels previously, were moved out.
Calling it “a blatant injustice”, Shelter Scotland says this is “in direct competition” with tourists for those affected.
