I partially agree. Funding for things like schools also suffers, snowballing the problem. You are right about voting patterns, however. In Detroit, they re-elected someone who willfully admitted to stealing from the city.As the population of productive tax paying citizens decreases you are left with an overpopulation of people that can't support themselves and depend on others(mostly government) to take care of them. The ones that stay in those areas control who is elected as mayor and tend to vote for people that look like they do and ignore the fact that they aren't qualified to be a dog catcher(New Orleans the last 30 years).
I entirely disagree about city bus service. Chicago, Washington DC, and New York all have city bus service through the best parts of town. Unless Georgetown is not a pleasant/safe place to live?They bring it on themselves. They rob the people that pay the bills so the bill payers go somewhere they feel safer. They are then stuck robbing themselves or driving to where the bill payers went to to try to rob them there. The first sign that you better leave an area that was safe and pleasant to live in is when city bus service gets there. After that happens it is only a matter of time before that area sucks too.
