If you are facing or have recently faced a renoviction by a flipper or merchant housing dealer, you may not understand the reason: greed. I recently went through a renoviction and it took me some time to see the reason why: the commodification of housing.

Better put as how to double your return on idle money by simply evicting the vulnerable and artificially inflating housing costs.

Big shout out to the conservative faction of “god what’s you to be richer at any cost” for bolting a moral veneer of piety to this cruel and commandment breaking (#8, #9, & #10) approach.

      It’s scaling. There’s no hard cutoff. The longer a renter has been in, the more difficult to cancel their contact. The idea is that the longer someone has lived there, the more their life will have become reliant on being in that area, and hence uprooting them is less and less sensible.
