There is a scam which is happening in all major cities in North America and probably Europe.

The scam is as follows.

• Control the city municipal council (specifically the city planning divisions)

• Control the Development Companies that get the contracts

• Build only in designated areas (*gentrification usually - but comes in diff forms)

• When you have the population you desire (political, racial, etc) you maintain and limit zoning changes - avoid approvals on new construction, and only approve existing tenants and pre-approved renovations

• When you have a population you want to change, you zone it for redevelopment, and you coordinate to buy up properties and zone for high-rises to maximize density change, then you only develop with foreign or controlled investment, and you then fill it with political or racial group of your liking with over pricing the lots, and then working to limit housing and get large pre-purchase agreements to have tax-payers front the jack-up and keep prices high whilst providing subsidized housing to the political or racial groups of choice.
