[quote=jameswenn]With the inflation of home prices, private school tuition isn’t that expensive as it once was.

With good private schools, it’s definitely a lot if you plan on doing this from k-12..We’re talking close to six figures.
And it does become an issue when you have a $340-50/month HOA. There isn’t any “savings” going on if you purchase an $800k SkyRanch home and on top of that pay another $340-50/month HOA on top of that. It’s not adding up from the argument of “it’s cheaper to live in SkyRanch/Santee, and the savings you’ll get you can send your kids to private schools”… we haven’t even talked about the extra costs in utilities/maintenance from such a gnormous home with that 1 acre, usable or not… I wish we had the data is to how many folks in these SkyRanch communities are actually sending/planning to send their kids to private school k-12, or if these even looked at how much that’s going to cost.
I don’t doubt the views are great, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
