[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I invest in my neighborhood and have for years before I had kids / but I would never say I owned it.[/quote] You invest in your neighborhood because you benefit from those investments in some way. If you plant a tree in a public tree box, you won't own the tree, but you'll benefit from its beauty, the air it produces, the shade it provides, etc. You might invest in your neighborhood school for similar reasons. For example, you might volunteer a few hours on beautification day because you make use of the playground. However, most people will not invest large amounts of time or money in their neighborhood school unless their kids are attending, have attended, or will attend the school. The issue is not ownership. It is more like guaranteed access.[/quote]
