[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The people who are suggesting NY publics likely have lower standards. NYC has terrible public schools. There are some decent schools but few and far between and it’s not like the burbs where you can enroll and send your kid through K-12 to good schools. Everyone I know using a NYC public is playing some insane lottery or magnet game and still renting.[/quote]

JFC.  No it does not have uniformly terrible public schools.  There are certainly some terrible ones, many decent ones, and some very good ones.[/quote]

It does have pretty bad public schools compared to most other places. There are maybe 10 really good middle schools total of which a chunk are test in and the rest are lottery, and about 5 really good high schools that are also test in. Given it’s the largest city in the us that’s wild. It’s why the taxes in many areas are so low [/quote]

You are insanely misinformed. There are a handful of NYC public schools that people know because they are famous, but there are tons of decent options, including parochial schools that are more modest in price. If you are a MC or UMC parent who makes an effort, there are so many good options for your dc where they will have opportunities that can’t be replicated in the suburbs.

Taxes are low for RE in NYC bc of how coops (what most people live in) are classified and taxed (which was to protect renters initially) but also bc NYC has a much more robust tax base, while a suburb basically depends almost entirely on real estate property taxes. [/quote]
