The economic pressure on common folks is intentional.

This is like a western where the rich cattle baron poisons the stock of the sheepherders so he can buy their land cheap. Or the melodrama where the landlord makes their property unlivable so the tenants move out and they can rent the apartment to wealthier people.

The filthy rich want to own it all, and they want to buy it at a discount price.
