are some of the things that have caused those neighborhoods to be barely inhabitable.

CPS gets enough money. It spends something like $15,000 per student systemwide. And all schools get equal funding per student in the system.
There is so much affordable housing in Chicago. What do you mean by subsidized housing?
Police have been shifted to more violent and crime prone areas from other parts of the city.
