To prevent us from escaping neighborhoods that are "a changing" they fix the housing bubble in such a way to make it difficult for us to move. Then they fix it so people who breed crime are allowed into neighborhoods they would not be able to afford without a grand infusion of OUR CASH.
The Plan is for all of us to live happily in a Worker's Paradise, unable to move as we see fit, and have us pay the entire bill.
OMG, that’s got to be one of their tactics. They want people living in ghettos and they haven’t been able to trap the middle class into one yet. OTOH, nasty business like Katrina dispersed enormous ghettos into the rest of the population, as is now happening to Detroit (except there won’t be any urban renewal there). Not sure how that fits in, except as shock troops to invade the civilized enclaves. That makes sense.
