How can i store file name as a variable in shell script

what is wrong with following code?

TEXT=$(<"$(pwd)/data.csv")
IFS=','
cut -d, -f1,2  $TEXT | while read street city ; do
    echo "$street $city"
done

If I am providing the file name directly then it is working

IFS=','
cut -d, -f1,2  data.csv | while read street city ; do
    echo "$street $city"
done

Why not simply execute this code:

while read street city ; do
  echo "$street $city"
done < data.csv
