Big cities don't tell you about how dangerous they know it is.

They want to attract, then trap infantrymen there.
Just sayin'.
They don't want the issue solved because they want to preserve the city for people who want a more free lifestyle for a while before getting married. Or in other words, "we don't want dorks to move in."
That's why they definitely don't deserve federal funds.
Ironically, it may be the very reason they get the funds.

So, if an employer doesn't want the ghetto in his workplace, he can hire the people (not just Irish, it's all over Europe) who are white but have a slightly broader flatter nose and nappy hair. Or maybe they just have a relative who has those things. All of Europe was black once, so they're part of every ethnicity.
They all think they're being oppressed because they are having a harder time getting a job, but the political machine in their home communities pressured them into a privately funded, second tier education system and everyone knows part of what they seem to know how to do are kludges and cheats. Many may assume it's an excellent school system because when their own get transferred to public school, they may get instantly taken down a few notches & nobody realizes it's because they're exposed to professional assessment. People who went through the system may help their friends get jobs.
It's also possible they save some funding for the top schools by underfunding the second-tier schools, then turn around and draw people for teaching and ministry from those schools. So you have some excellent students, some not.
The communities who pressure those who can to go to private school then have more money to spend winning votes from disadvantaged people by funding their public, professionally run schools 5X more than the amount that stopped making a difference in standardized test scores. It does do the students and society some good because they get lots of practice speaking respectfully to teacher, handing stuff in on time, learning mature, refined attitudes toward style and class, seeing a lot of examples of logical reasoning, etc.
This is all speculation. I have no proof.
They may also continue to fund jobs in the ghetto by voting for programs or spending in ways which indirectly keeps them afloat instead of letting the law abiding move to better neighborhoods and not giving work to those who don't deserve it until they either straighten out or can't afford the big city anymore.
But from the news, I see they now do that in the cities.
Gotta luv how they handle their crime problems: Raise taxes, defund police, raise taxes, more gun control, raise taxes, tell police to respond to felonies only, raise taxes, allow brigands and protesters free rein, and raise taxes.
The Red/Blue map is a useful tool for telling people areas to avoid.
It's not that I don't wish the problems in cities to be remedied, but I wish more that those problems will stay in the cities and away from "flyover country."
