Councils do tend to spend more than private landlords, many private rental properties are really bad.
e.g. my sister in her council house the council expanded her kitchen, double glazed the whole building and fitted a new boiler.
My landlord would never do any of that.

The answer to the question "why are they demolishing them?" is simple - many of the houses being demolished aren't fit for habitation. Many of them are Victorian terraces, in structurally poor condition; many more of them are post-war crud in even poorer condition.
