New York City is not a place to raise a family. Move somewhere else. Period. You can raise a family and go to some of the best schools in the country in places like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, etc....

This isn't remotely true. The NYC metro area is massive, with plenty of family friendly neighborhoods with good commute times to midtown. Plenty of places in northern NJ and elsewhere with good schools.

  There you go then. You can raise a family in NYC.

    I am doing just that? Apparently others are as well since school enrollment keeps growing.

      So is it not sustainable for a family then?

You are describing the condition but not addressing why it should be that way. IMO it is a basic human right to be able to live and thrive in our community. Of course I am not suggesting we all go live in the Hamptons and live it up. But it seems to me that each of us is born in a place, and that place, having a government and resources, is obligated to foster a decent and productive existence for that person as they pass through life.
