[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - You are not accounting for the fact that I paid a fortune for a house in an expensive area just so I could send my kid to a better school. I pay a huge amount in property taxes, so I'm definitely subsidizing schools in other parts of the county. I don't feel that I need to do so even more than I bargained for when I bought my high cost/high tax home.[/quote] These are public schools. You’re not entitled to more.[/quote] Actually the PP is. Their property values and housing prices are directly tied to the value of the schools. In fact, it's been estimated to be at least a $200K differential. And those real estate values (and the ad valorem taxes paid) go directly to the county. Let's dispense with the illusion that property values aren't tied to the public schools.[/quote]
