It's not clear to me how suburbs "dump their social problems into the
cities for (city taxpayers) to pay for." Can you provide some examples?
I wholly support the fact that the vast majority of social services are
funded via state and county funds rather than municipal funds since it
amortizes those societal costs across a broader spectrum og population. I
would also agree that there are disproportionately more impoverished who
live in the cities than the suburbs (but disagree when others attribute
this to a conscious conspiratorial set of actions).
This is the first I've read that the suburbs have social problems that are
somehow transferred to the cities ... or p'haps you misspoke (er,
mistyped).
