DWCAP – I liked your post. And a good point about living wherever. I understand many people w/children want to be in the best school district, but we had a thread somewhere about someone in a dilemma about buying in Carmel Valley or continuing to live in Clairemont and sending kids to private schools. I was in public and private and have to certainly say, better regimented education in private.
Also, for the amount of money one in paying for the houses in neighborhoods with “good school” although I haven’t really checked the details, I would say the difference becomes negigible between living in not the most elite area, but sending kids to private school. The cost of private schools seem cost less in the long run than the cost of a house in the coveted areas. Of course, if prices continue to decline, that won’t continue to be true.
