So what is the difference between this and the old “Block busting” of the late 1950s in which a realtor would sell a house in a white area to a Black family?

The whites then would vote with their feet, sell or abandon their houses and move away, the area then would become a black slum.

Now it appears the government is doing the realtor’s job of blockbusting.

Must have happened to Hauser Street after the Jeffersons moved in. Ironically, it was the Jeffersons who "Moved on Up."
