I know SimCity and how it works. I was asking specifically about this case because he said this

If the demand for cheap housing outstripped your ability to provide it, lower level citizens would take over a more expensive place. You'd sometimes see mansions get overwhelmed by lower level cits, and more of them can fit into a mansio that high level cits could, so it would sometimes put a lot of pressure on your transportation network.

That may have been a disconnected thought but it followed right after the question about these blocks being disbanded.
