Also the funding collected by Sunnyside residents for education (there is a dedicated mill rate for this), will dwarf the amount of money actually spent on education in the community by several factors. (The taxes raised per student in the community is likely several factors greater than Hawkwood).
I've also heard that there is a waiting list for the Sunnyside school. Perhaps if the education system wasn't hemorrhaging money, it could spare some funds for expansion in the inner city?

Where do you think city dumps, sewage and water treatment plants are? They are no where near the inner city.
