What is another word for blockbusting?
Pronunciation: [blˈɒkbʌstɪŋ] (IPA) 
Blockbusting is a term usually associated with the act of persuading homeowners to sell their homes at a low price due to imminent integration of a neighborhood by another race. Synonyms for blockbusting include steering, racial steering, redlining, property flipping, and predatory lending. The intended result of these practices was to create a segregated neighborhood. They were used in the past to prevent neighborhoods from becoming integrated by low-income or minority residents. Today, these practices are illegal, and the government has put in place laws and regulations to curb their occurrence. Despite their illegality, it is still important to understand them to prevent them from happening.
