The cities in our area are heavily subsidized by the state. The state collects the vast majority of its taxes from the suburbs. In return, the cities here have non-functioning schools, despite being well funded. The cities have very high crime, and basic services in the cities are lacking. There is a perpetual cycle of 20 somethings moving into the cities as they start their careers, and then moving to the burbs within 5-10 years as they realize that their kids will be uneducated if they remain there, and they will get mugged every couple of years.
