they are evicting the poor in subsidized housing to make way for a growing yupification.

Don't worry, the solution is private prisons and draconian laws. Profit will be made. Unfortunately it will be the people who actually have to pay taxes who will support this far more expensive alternative, but the point is the profit involved. Much more can be made, per prisoner, for the shareholders of CCA and the like, than the meager sums slumlords can get from subsidized housing, etc.

Hey, if things go horribly wrong for you, at least you know what that there is an iron and concrete safety net there to catch you and keep you.
