25. It's simple

Most school funding is local and up north east it's hyper local (very small local school systems)

The suburbs aren't in the city and often not in the same county as the city schools and are funded by diffent tax bases.

Some states constitution for providing education place the requirement on the state and poor school systems have used these state laws/constitutions to sue the state for additional funding.

Not all areas can be like NY and charge a commuter employee tax. And even with modern technology that may not matter as quite a few of my well paid friends work totally remotly.

Funding for schools is complex but the reality is no one out side of the hood cares about the hood schools until they are afraid the hood schools money may go private or out of the direct control of the public education power structure. You see for a parent that has seen 10-20 years of bad schools they aren't afraid to try other options because what they have has constantly failed. I know of many charters and public schools that are doing more with less even with high risk kids.
