Having lived in a very poor area of Chicago for a while and moving to a fairly affluent area I observed that the affluent neighborhoods get certain services because they demand them from the city. The poorer neighborhoods tend to have somewhat of a "leave us alone" attitude which unfortunately the city is all too happy to oblige. I know there are financial aspects at play as well, but at least from what I observed there definitely was a "squeaky wheel" aspect to receiving city services.
