These aren't commie blocks, and they usually aren't replacing single family homes. They're most problematic when replacing older multi unit buildings, because they're taking low income housing and replacing it with housing only upper income people can afford (plus a couple low income units to say that they're trying). And they get tax breaks to do this gentrification, after years of neglecting the upkeep on the older buildings it's replacing.
