You do realize that the whole country's school system, tax structure, property values, etc are based the same way. On where you live (rent or buy).

Good luck pontifying on changing the whole entire system just because you don't make as much income as someone else with and entirely different human capital earnings function.[/quote]

Yes, I do realize this. I also realize that it's unjust for children to have unequal educational opportunities based on how much money their parents have.

But then you can extend this argument to the entire state.  Taxes in Mont Cty are proportionally inconsistent with how much the state allocates to the county.  Why should someone who lives in PG or Balt City have an unequal education.  You receive a diploma from the state of Md not from the county of Montgomery.[/quote]

Yes, you can. Indeed, why should someone who lives in Prince George's County or Baltimore City receive an unequal education? The state allocates more money to school systems that need it more, just as the county does -- as they should. But as long as there's residential segregation by income, that will never solve the problem.[/quote]
