I thought millennials wanted hip lofts in revitalized urban areas? They do, until they have kids, then it’s flee to the suburbs with the decent schools. At least that is the observation with my coworkers.
I’m a cynical gen-x (still with elementary school kids) who bought a suburban house before marriage. Of course it’s now almost paid off.
- qwerty456127 8y agoIs it so hard to start a decent school in whatever an area when there is demand?
- lotsofpulp 8y ago"Decent" school means full of kids who come from stable homes with parents who have stable, median+ incomes. Private schools in cities can accomplish this by charging $20k+ per year in tuition, and people who can't afford private schools can opt to live in suburban school districts where there are mostly homes therefore it's auto-selected mostly for kids whose parents are able to own homes.
- qwerty456127 8y ago> Private schools in cities can accomplish this by charging $20k+ per year in tuition Why? What are the actual expenses that make it cost more than $1000 per month per a child?
- lotsofpulp 8y agoIt’s to keep out the kids whose parents can’t afford the tuition. $20k/year/student is on the cheap end in the richer areas too.
- qwerty456127 8y agoI believe $500/month would be enough. My parents had never been earning more than this for example (but this was not in the US).
