Schools are not included in the Phoenix budget, since the school districts are separate entities. Schools are included in New York's budget, since the city controls the schools (nearly a third of NYC's budget is for schools).
Also, I don't think that Phoenix has anything comparable to the NYCHA or any one of hundreds of various social programs. You may feel that these are not good programs, but they are certainly things that "NYC is paying for that Phoenix is not."
