Also people seem to be ignoring this part of my initial statement:

Arent they tearing down 40s era low rise old school public housing and building something modern with some retail and additional density? I thought this was a major improvement over 2 story barracks style project housing.

The CITY does not control PHA and cannot sell any PHA land. My guess is there are federal rules in place that govern what HUD funded agencies can and cannot sell. They are not private developers. Its amazing how people are oblivious to how many would be offended by the "sell the land to a developer and build something for those people elsewhere" sentiment could be to many.....
