In a perfect world yes. Unfortunately we can't pick up our schools and move them if it turns out to be a poor location.

- ricardobeat 4y agoThat's a very defeatist attitude. It's not about relocating schools. Public policy needs to change to reduce urban sprawl, stop producing homeless and criminals, and improve public transportation and livability to the point where walking to school is normal.
- vlunkr 4y agoI don’t consider it defeatist at all. Yeah we can do all those things, but we’re not going to do it tomorrow or do it right every time.
- Scarblac 4y agoYou can build new ones. Why always all this fatalism from US people when improvements are discussed? Richest country on Earth, nothing can be done about problems.
- vlunkr 4y agoThat’s quite the reduction of my statement.
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoI'm not saying you should move the schools away from the homeless people, or vice versa. I'm saying you should dramatically reduce the number of homeless people by providing them with a social safety net, and for those addicted to drugs to provide them with free treatment so they no longer have to resort to crime. It's actually cheaper for society to treat the disease of drug addiction in a humane way, than to fight the crime that results when drug addiction is criminalized.
