“That’s the biggest myth around.”
Trust me on this. You are wrong.
For sixteen years now, I have made my living in land development. Although we had rapid development and housing construction sustained for eleven of those years, the annual population growth in the area was 1.5%.
So why all the new houses? Its no big secret - people are fleeing from the bad school district. This is a very common phenomenon.
I don’t think you understood my statement. It doesn’t matter if a homeless woman can homeschool her kid in the truck of a car. It doesn’t matter if you yourself don’t have kids. It doesn’t matter if you do have kids and they thrivce in a bad school.
The value of your home is tied to what a buyer will pay for it. And, the number one driver in that valuation is schools. Period.
That’s like the lie told by Leftists, “Poverty causes crime.” If that’s true Americans back in the Depression Era should have caused a bloodbath of ridiculous proportions.
There is home schooling plus parochial schools, private schools, charter schools and then public schools.
Is it just the lack money that makes people flee or the lack of social capital within families?
