If it were true, shouldn't we have a city full of 'destroyed neighbourhoods'? Where locally has this occurred - where a new development has wrecked an existing neighbourhood? I get that it's subjective too but I honestly can't think of examples.
The area surrounding the Universities used to be primarily single family homes and a few low-rise apartments. I don't know what you'd call it now... but I think you could argue that those neighborhoods have been destroyed.
