[quote=Anonymous][quote]700k for a modest sized home, in ok condition just so your child can go to an over crowded school or an excessively long commute that diminishes quality of life is getting harder and harder to justify. Especially when things in western schools aren't guaranteed to always be stellar. 
as pp stated, near in dcc neighborhoods where you can get a home any where between 400-800K are seeing great home sales. Middle class flight is not that obvious if you live here[/quote]

Yes. In the past with acceleration, your child could at least work at a more appropriate pace. The teaching may have been hit or miss but at least everyone was not held back by the curriculum. Spending more for the better clusters made sense back then because your child was able to work at an appropriate academic pace and be surrounded by peers who were serious about school. Now, all schools and all children are held back 2 years in equivalent to where they previously worked so why bother to spend the extra money and commute?[/quote]
