So they are ok with urban blight?

The Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses are not urban blight.
These are large functional neighborhood communities that are part of the fabric of Chelsea, which is where I live. I walk through both these communities on a regular basis. Both complexes are struggling with maintenance problems that were largely created by external systemic forces—some of the same forces that now want to blow their lives up for the sake of a real estate play. In classic American fashion, a redevelopment is getting rammed through, obviously cutting corners, with hand-wavey compensatory assurances that almost assuredly aren’t worth believing. Skepticism is all too deserved.

I agree. This does not qualify as blight. Not the best area but not blight.
