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.

Do you really want to play games? Take your pick. The twenty most dangerous schools in the state are all in Philly. They all have cops. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/loca...s_schools.html

Douglas High School
Edison / Fareira High School
Fels High School
Fitzsimmons High School
Frankford High School
Furness High School
Germantown High School
Harding Middle School
Kensington Culinary Arts
Kensington Intern Business,
Fitness and Entrepreneur
Lincoln High School
Northeast High School
Olney High School East
Olney High School West
Overbrook High School
Penn High School
Theodore Roosevelt Middle School
Roxborough High School
South Philadelphia High School
Stetson Middle School

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 I did leave you would probably follow me. Actually if enough people like me left then you would have to follow us because the country would not have enough people paying into the system to pay for the freebies for you and all of your half siblings.

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!!
lol
I'm sorry but this post made me laugh.
