The number of units overall will increase, but iirc the number of genuine public housing units will go down. More will be offered as “social housing” (in cahoots with a social housing provider - privatised profits for poor service outcomes based on the reports going around), or as “affordable housing” (pegged to market rates. I believe the property management will be contracted out to a private third party as well).
Oh I was under the impression that they were essentially just rebuilding them a few stories higher in a nicer building. Disappointing to hear they’re going down the privatisation route.
