That is some highly faulty logic right there. The more money developers pay the more the city gets, but the idea that it'll just magically make its way into fixing apartments for poor people instead of being diverted and shunted off to other city priorities and friends of the political structure is delusional.
Presumably the residents of the public housing properties in question figure what will happen is they will start with buildings with parking lots, and end up with buildings with no parking lots and wealthy developers in the same space who now stand to profit even more from pushing their lower income family out, and the money for repairs having mysteriously evaporated into some sort of budget crisis.
Which, of course, is exactly what would likely happen in real life.
