#Fake Evictions

Let's generate some fake evictions!

This is a little Python utility for doing so. It uses the master address list for Boston, which you can download here (grab the CSV).

##Usage

This was written with Python 3 in mind, it's not super likely to work easily with Python 2.

First convert the CSV file to a sqlite3 db:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
csvsql --db sqlite:///addresses.db --insert --table address Master_Address_List.csv

then we can run the little Python script:

python generate_evictions.py

and answer the prompts! Hooray fake data! It will write them to evictions.json. It's pretty quick, so don't worry about asking it for 10 or 20 thousand evictions.
