They're replacing blocks of low income housing all over the city I live in. Most of these are also condos and expensive enough they can rent out one or two units and make a profit so they can just have a few wealthy tenants in an otherwise empty building. A lot where I am also had to make promises to make a certain amount of units low income housing and whoever owns this shit just built em and said "fuck you, I'm not actually doing that' and city council did jack shit. They're also some of the worst construction design you can imagine and they're ugly. We have a serious serious housing crisis here and this has been the response which is just driving more people into homelessness. These building represent everything wrong with my city.
The ten year before and after pictures here, especially in the last few years where it's been cranked up hard would make you mad. They're still really really badly built and look hideous as well. Glad they're building them somewhere okay where you are but I think my case is more common.
Am I missing something? It just looks like an apartment block to me.
