You don't need to ask Alpert to do that. Developers have done exactly that. They built new tower buildings with basic amenities like plumbing a little ways away from the largest slum in Indi and offered the slum dwellers a free "condo" if they stopped squatting on their prime real estate so it could be redeveloped. Few families took them up on their offer because they would rather live in a slum in the center of town than live farther away in a tower. Part of it had to do with transportation distances andd part to do with the loss of social connections.
