I can see that. My brother in law moved way out to the far-suburbs/neo-country. Then he has to send his kids to private school which if he lived in the most expensive burb with the best schools his property tax would be less than his combined with tuition. plus he gets less infrastructure and upkeep of same. we are talking unpaved roads where they throw sand down and barely plow.
Some people choose to live places with less infrastructure and support, and that’s a reasonable choice. But it’s not ok when it affects the education of the next generation. Parents may be the most important voice in raising children, but we as a society have a vested interest in them being well educated, and need our actions to reflect that
yeah its actually kinda funny because my wife and I have no kids and we vote for pretty much every school and park expansion/renovation (our town is pretty responsible and none of these are boondogles). Some folks though. Its like I want to live in a society where kids are educated and we have nice public spaces. I do wish more of this was funded on a national level.
