Comment on Melbourne public housing towers demolition to go ahead despite residents’ class action

I’m unclear on the issue here. Is it that the total capacity of public housing will be reduced or that residents will be forced out in the interim? Also, what’s the point of these redevelopments? To “modernise” public housing facilities?

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.
