I'm going to need context for this. People will commute for hours per week to buy/rent a home in a good school district. I'm looking into school right now where homes in the neighbourhood are $1MM+. I can't afford that so I'll try and get our kid in through the special snowflake waiver. People will spend ungodly amounts of money to move to an area with decent schools.

Here in Edinburgh (which has a very high level of kids in private school - around 25%, very unusual for the UK) a recent report suggested that it was actually cheaper to send 2 kids to private school than to relocate to an area that has a good state school. http://www.scotsman.com/news/education/private-school-cheaper-than-good-catchment-area-1-3281402 http://www.scotsman.com/news/education/private-school-cheape...
