Wasn't this always the plan? If you combine scarce housing (by law or otherwise) and unrestricted immigration then you can get people to fight for scraps whilst taking 30-60% of their paycheck on average just through renting and also maybe through software subscriptions in the near future. In this way you can extract maximum productivity out of them because each month they're just a few steps away from homelessness. You also depress wages by a lot due to immigration which is doubly beneficial for the owning class AND you force the workers to be more productive because otherwise they'll be replaced by desperate immigrants. Its quite literally perfect from a capitalist point of view. The only thing that can put a stop to this are violent revolts. But if you have automated policing via drones and ubiquitous surveillance it should be easy to subdue the unruly masses.
