Because, Vouchers should be universal.

How possibly could a neighborhood get worse if a student from the public school is allowed to go to the private school a block away? The school is still allowed to either accept or reject the voucher student based on skills, grades and discipline.

Vouchers should be expanded to all, regardless of economic situation. This would cause public schools to compete for the dollars and improve their terrible records, or close.

In major cities private and public schools are in the same neighborhoods.

I think you missed that it was an analogy. The private schools will have happen to them through school vouchers, what happened to the inner suburbs through Section 8 vouchers.

At first, but once the schools get dependent on the money, the state will wield their fist and start calling the shots.

I'm in Chicago so I'm well aware of the fact that it is the cost of my child's school that keeps the dysfunctional students out and that's what makes it desirable.
