>So the solution to school inequality should have been to enshrine both income inequality and real estate segregation in education funding policy? Enshrine is a strong word, but yes, I think it basically broke the incentive structure for supporting the system. Regarding housing costs, I think they have far more to do with NIMBY and construction hostile policy. High property tax doesn't really help housing affordability. High tax means sale prices are somewhat lower, but Mortgages would stabilize at the same value (just with a higher proportion being tax) unless you actually add more units.
