The poors will be decanted out to more socioeconomically appropriate areas further out, and the space they were taking up will be freed up for gentrification.

Ugh. So they’re not replacing the housing with more/better social housing? Cunts.

Some social housing if I'm reading it correctly. Even then social housing is usually still privatised housing. So the amount of public housing could well be zilch.
