What happens to the crackheads and hookers during urban renewal?

Whenever a neighbor goes through an urban renewal, the crackheads and hookers disappear. Where do they go?

I'm thinking about places like Times Square in New York City where there used to be hundreds of crackheads and hookers. I'm sure some move to different neighborhoods, but each new neighborhood can only support so many crackheads and hookers.

Do they all die off or something?

    It's like throwing water on a grease fire; all you do is disperse the flaming grease elsewhere, creating lots of little flaming grease puddles.
