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.
