1. A developer owns land with an old house on it that he or she wants to develop but the local government is dragging their heels about permits.
2. The developer rents-out all the rooms in the house to people dirt-cheep, not caring about references or what kind of people are moving in.
3. Crime spikes in the surrounding neighbourhoods triggering complaints. The property becomes a fire hazard, a health concern, a general mess and in quite a few cases grow-ops and meth labs are set up inside.
4. The Fire Marshal, heath department, social services, bylaws and police end up having to frequent the property, complaints continue.
5. The local government gets involved and attempts to force the developer to make things right - the developer responds with minimal intent and involvement. The developer may also be in another country (or lie and say they are) and thus be hard to reach.
6. After a prolonged period of time listening to complaints and issues regarding the property and watching the developer's half-hearted fixes the local government is fed up and coming to the end of their rope on the issue.
7. After a while the developer approaches the local government and says that he or she can correct the problem with a shiny new development - which is the original intent.
8. The government finally is able to make the problem go away so makes concessions and agrees to the development permit.
