Population expulsion can be administered gradually without overt violence

Evidence

Suffice it to say, European states have demonstrated an impressive capacity for mobilizing societies for conflict in the past. If anything, contemporary technology would make the tracking and control of large populations still easier. Moreover, expulsion need not be sudden or violent. It could be carried out over an extended period of time and done in a relatively humane way. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D. Grant, The Future of Europe and Its Muslims, 275

Categorization

• STORYSTEM: A story where a famille is not violently evicted but simply aged out — visas unrenewed, jobs made unavailable, schools rezoned — until a whole quarter of a city simply no longer exists. The horror is the timeliness and the paperwork.
• XREF: Echoes the bureaucratic-quiet horror of administrative genocide as described in colonial archives — harm done through record-keeping rather than force.
