N. Philly
S. Phila,
SW Phila,
NE Phila
I could pretty much name a dozen neighborhoods in EACH of those areas. Why do you think most people moved out of the city? The city population went from 2.1 mil down to 1.5 while the suburbs went from almost nothing to 3.5 million. The city has 400 murders per year while the burbs with double the population has very few murders. N. Philly is pretty much a warzone. The cops call it the badlands. The state actually leads the nation in black homicides thanks to a couple sq miles in N. Philly and you wonder why we won't let you in the pool.
The ONLY neighborhoods that have not been destroyed are the ones with minimal integration.

Okay, you named 1 school with 14 full time police officers. You originally said you could name "a dozen with 15 full time police officers". You have 14 more to go.
So, all of the bad neighborhoods and schools in Philadelphia are due to subsidized housing? It doesn't have anything to do with the trends in the '50s when families moved out to the suburbs due to their jobs, more affordable automobiles, and the building of the highway system that made access in and out of large cities possible?
sidenote: "Parking Wars" is one of my favorite shows.

Yes most of the bad neighborhoods are a result of subsidized housing.
People leaving does not destroy neighborhoods. It is the hoodrats that move into a neighborhood that destroy the neighborhood. Highways and cheap transportation did not cause people to leave it just made it easier for them to leave. It is the criminal element that causes most of the good people to leave.

Not playing games. You said that you could name schools with 15 police officers. The list is a list of school in Pennsylvania, not specifically Philadelphia; and, the list does not say how many police officers are in each school. If you are going to use hyperbole, be able to back it up. Otherwise, stick to facts instead of exaggerations.
Historically, highways and cheap transportation were the reason people left the inner-cities in the post-War boom.
Also, in today's world, most schools have police officers in them. I teach at a very nice high school in what has been identified as one of the highest per capita income cities in America. Each of our schools has police officers.

Highways and cheaper transportation made "white flight" possible and easier. They are not the reason people left the inner cities in the post-War boom.

If white flight contributed to the demise of the inner cities then the same thing would happen if we left the country.
Now get a job and take care of your kids!!
