How exactly is OCP...
Able to serve up eviction notices and remove people from their homes? I'm pretty sure you can't do that unless the residents sell their homes.
shareI never thought about it that way. Maybe that's why Robocop helped them?

In RoboCop 2, the ‘old man’ announces that they are taking Detroit private, much to the dismay of the Detroit mayor. I suspect this, and very shortly afterwards, is when the Cadillac Heights, and other neighborhoods were purchased outright.
This is done as a precursor to the beginning of construction of Delta City, mentioned as the ‘New Detroit’ in the 2nd film, and Delta City in the first and third films.
What OCP didn’t anticipate was the sudden loss of their CEO, heavy resistance to the Delta City project, the hostile takeover of OCP by the Japanese zaibatsu, the multi national Kanemitsu Corporation, and of course their own asset: RoboCop fighting for the resistance.
But wouldn't they have to pay them for their homes? The only way I could see this being legal would be if they stopped paying their mortgages and if that's the case why should I sympathize with them?
shareWell this is just a theory given how evil OCP is. They could raise the rent to exorbitant rates, knowing full well people cannot pay them and then evict them~
