[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good part of your sentence makes no sense, but you seem to be saying that a single instance of a house near a private school selling quickly for more than the asking price establishes that proximity to private schools raises housing values. The anecdote shows nothing. The house could have been underpriced. Even if it was pverpriced, there could be something about other aspects of the neighborhood that made the house particularly attractive. There also could be something about Maret that other private schools such as GDS do not have. There is far more green space on the Maret campus, relative to the student body, than there will be at the new GDS campus. The architecture at Maret is very different than the institutional architecture proposed for the GDS expansion.

You are really reaching. You make a point, it gets rebuffed, you make another point, it gets rebuffed and then you are the one that ends up making no sense.

Yes, there are all sorts of factors that go into the value of a home, but to claim without evidence that the GDS proposal is going to be doom and gloom for the local property owners when in fact, private schools appear to have no ill effect on housing prices is silly.

Similarly there are plenty of high demand areas with little to no available street parking.

There was a lot of fuss about Cathedral Commons, and to date none of the fears about traffic, parking or home values have been realized.

So, what was your point again?[/quote]
