Certainly looks like it's mostly FAR out of the way of where anyone would live. It's between the railway and the highway, between an insurer's head office and a factory, in between an area with some company depots.

They're trying to make the area south of the station a very expensive area, which is where the prostitution appears to be now (and hence the rents are "cheap" there).

So yes, I would say this is probably an attempt to move this activity out of where it is now, into an area where it definitely can't survive. I don't know, but I can't see this actually working. Why would these people move ? They sure as hell can't look for customers around that area.
