WHEN URBANIZATION FAILS: Why I Miss The Suburbs. “Another area where suburbs often trump cities is in the quality (or lack thereof) of their public schools. From the mass closing of public schools in Chicago to the ‘dizzying, byzantine system’ eighth grade students and their parents go through to select a public high school in New York City, it is as hard as ever—if not harder—for parents to find quality public education for their children in large American cities.”

Well, as Joe Biden has explained, that’s because cities have too many black people. But I have an alternative explanation.
