It depends. Yes, poor neighborhoods pay less taxes, and rich pay more taxes. But the imbalance in expenses may be even bigger, because of the way priorities work.
It’s the same as minority representation in democracies (and the reason Soviet system, not the real one, but the theoretical one, is bad), when representatives are chosen by voting, the minority has fewer chances of being represented than if sortition (randomization) is used.

Ah yes, the tyranny of democracy. It’s all good until the majority takes away your voice by sheer numbers.

It’s rather than 80% of votes press their point in much more than 80% of cases. Which even feels unjust.
Money is like votes in this case.
