due to the amount of possessions and limited recourses

Due to this fact that both Abraham and Lot had flocks, herds, and tents, and there was limited resources and areas available for grazing a problem existed, and this problem led to strife between the herds man of Lot and Abraham.

He then moved northword to Mamre, which was in vicinity of Hebron.

and once again built an alter to the Lord

this word evil is also used to describe the world at the time of the flood sinning immensely or great sinners is only used here.

Great sinners are used only here, and shows the extreme seriousness of the sin of Sodom.

It also shows us that the fate of this city will come, and this will exclaim lots mistake in his Choice.

Lot chose based on what looked good, and found the looks to be deceiving and corrupt.
