Maybe I'm naive (I don't have children), but many of these articles basically can be reduced to "I want it all." [1] Nothing is wrong with that, but considering the popularity and ideal climate one can't expect to live in the bay area without a few caveats, right? The first thing I thought when I saw the title was, "oh, just move." Then I thought, "ah, people won't want to move because it's San Francisco." And so I see three options for anyone who complains about anything in any city: 1. Move 2. Pay extra for whatever convenience(s) you require (e.g. private school, a home closer to the school, etc.) 3. Attempt to change the law. So, when there's an issue like the one of schools, doesn't it just mean there are not enough people interested in (3) or are not affected by it sufficiently? Or maybe (3) is just too much effort. Regardless, if people REALLY wanted it and there were a sufficient amount of people affected, the problem would be fixed, no? I think also that the problem is compounded by conflicts of interest. Maybe people paying extra for private school makes it more difficult to change the law. Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of city politics. [1] Seriously though. > “Everybody talks about children being our future,” said Norman Yee, a member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors. “If you have no children around, what’s our future?” The future is being kicked out or becoming like Detroit (if god forbid the tech industry somehow collapses). Isn't this literally what happened to the past inhabitants of SF? They were kicked out once the higher paid people started coming in droves? The same will happen to everyone else once the wage(s) become sufficiently high. Isn't this just the free market or whatever, at work? Even if SF was a good place for kids and there were tons of kids, it would only be available for people of sufficiently high income. This article, then, would be titled "San Francisco Asks: Where have all of the regular families gone?" and would lament how no one goes to public school. Well, NYT has written similar articles already (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/us/backlash-by-the-bay-tech-riches-alter-a-city.html http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/us/backlash-by-the-bay-tec...).
