What a shocker!!! 
The whole East Village is a dump, let's tear it all down.

The problem is that the people that inhabit the East Village need somehwere to go. If the City goes ahead with a massive redevelopment of the area it will push the homeless people, prostitutes, etc into other areas - likely Inglewood/Ramsey or Bridgeland.
The City needs to think more long-term in terms of how to solve some of the underlying problems in the inner city - lack of affordable housing, drugs, etc. Putting a "fresh coat of paint" over the East Village will only create more problems in my view, or at the least move those problems into someone else's neighbourhood.
