This has become a problem in all of the new high end buildings. I believe it applies only to new buildings and not to conversions, but I could be wrong.
40 RSD is the first one to come up with the separate entrance idea, and that’s why they’re being attacked.
As for the “poor,” placing them in luxury buildings or neighborhoods has been tried before...and the “poor” hated it.

Middle-class people, maybe, but not the kind of people in your fantasy world.
