That doesn't sound sensible to me. Land use controls don't force families who want better school districts to pay for housing. It's the differences in schools that make families to seek housing in the most-wanted areas, and most-wanted areas are naturally more expensive.
So, people don't pay for housing or land use, they pay for school district.
Perhaps, in the US, there are indirect ways that land use impacts school quality, but it wouldn't have to be that way.
- prostoalex 12y agoYeah, if the school quality is correlated to school financing, and school financing is correlated to property taxes paid, then existing homeowners must have paid a high amount of property taxes to propel their school district into a wealthy one. Anybody who's overpaying for good school district is chasing home ownership in the area that's expensive to begin with.
