There’s lots of assumptions here — not that they’re wrong, as for the past few generations they’ve been more or less correct. But what if those assumptions become outdated? E.g. suburbs having a better school system because of the higher home values and home values being high because of the school system? What happens when one side of the circular equation breaks? In Dallas, the city proper is outperforming roughly half of the more expensive suburban school districts. In Dallas, more affluent, young couples who plan to start a family are choosing the city over suburbs that just a decade ago were seen as the Place To Be. There’s also the nationwide trend that many millenials — family or no family — want to live in urban cores, not sprawling suburbs. What happens then? Do “the suburbs” eventually become looked down upon by future generations in the perjorative way the current generation looks at “the inner city” today? And are all those people who made those assumptions when they bought into the suburbs caught holding the bag? https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2018/08/15/new-grades-texas-schools-released-today-district https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2018/08/15/new-gra...
