Replacing an old building or something people loved about a place, something that didn't actually need a replacement, by convincing people it needed to be replaced because it was outdated is a form of a social experiment. A way to get a group of people to tolerate something they wouldn't otherwise tolerate, something they would resist.
People are always trying to make changes via a social experiment. Change is not always what's best for everyone, and a lot of the time, things end up getting worse before they get worse (and not worse before they get better) when somebody took something that was once good and turned it to bullshit.

It's just a social experiment trying to shed light on how people react when I eat their food without asking.
