Even if the services are good enough, there will always be segregation in the presence of huge income disparities between sizable portions of the population. Wealthy overambitious parents wouldn't want their kids to have any contact whatsoever with the "lower class".
- soufron 10y agoYeah? Have a look at EU social democracies... Everybody go to the same schools and the same hospitals, everybody gets the same internet, everybody go to the same sport clubs, etc. And wealthy overambitious parents tend to hide their money and live among their community.
- bluetomcat 10y agoThat tends to happen in EU countries with lower income disparity (mainly Germany and the Nordic countries), which doesn't disprove my point. With 10x disparity and more, it is not going to happen.
- lifeisstillgood 10y agoI live in an apparent EU social democracy, certainly compared to US and there are different classes of sports clubs, different schools (all schools are paid for by the state and kids living within x miles get in. House prices within x miles determine who can get in) It's crazy, we do push for better for our kids and our selves within the bounds of whatever equality we have set.
