Well no, the facilities are lower, they often don't have access to the gym, sometime parking, etc...
I'm sure that politicians are incompetent and corrupt. That being said, we can agree that there is a market failure here.

Isn’t that just… normal? Until a few years ago I thought that apartment building gyms were something that only exist in american movies.
Parking is hardly a given for any apartment in European cities, London even has tons of luxury apartments without parking.
That’s really not true though. The facilities beyond the “poor doors” aren’t any different from how most normal people live, they’re just right next to luxury accommodation for rich people. The contrast is obviously more apparent, but the developers aren’t doing anything to screw over the poors (what’d be the point?).

Of course, but the politicians would rather virtue signal about “poor doors” than actually solve problems.
