And poor areas become poorer because the local municipality collects less taxes than the one with more affluent residents.
Ultra-locality of spending isn't efficient, it just maintains the status quo, it makes counties compete between each other for companies or residents and not all can attract the rich people or companies to fund themselves.
Schools should be equally funded regardless of how rich the people who live in the area are. This is the most basic component for an equitable society: a level playing field on education.
