Yeah, and big low-income housing projects have been tried here. But concentrating poverty like that doesn't work well.

But the "just build more" path of least resistance is to bulldoze today's grungy housing to build tomorrow's new housing, and most of the time that doesn't make it easy for the existing displaced residents find enough replacement grungy housing at rates they can afford.

So I think there needs to be something more than just laissez-faire building.

That's called "right of return". Give the displaced people their home back.

Although if they were homeowners before, they probably didn't mind selling their house, seeing as they did it.
