    So it is fundamentally a lack of will to spend the tax dollars necessary to maintain a thing.

    So why don’t the democrats want to maintain them? These are democrat run cities with largely democrat tax payers.

      That’s a good question, and I don’t know. I know that NYC manages to make them work very well, and some other places have not. Public housing works quite well in other countries as well.

        I would suspect it was a combination of funding from local, federal and state sources.

        The feds love to offer money then take it away.
