Please help me figure out the meaning of "match by" in the following sentence:
"When, after 1850, governments began to rid cities of some of their worst slums, many working class men and women discovered that urban ‘improvement’ meant relocation into dreary ‘model’ tenements, whose amenities were matched by their barrack like anonymity; or removal from one dilapidated structure to another in the wake of a clearance scheme—the nineteenth century called it ‘ventilation’—that replaced ancient, overcrowded housing with a more sanitary—and for the landlord, more profitable—railway switching yard."
