One downside people don’t see with not paying for the CFD bonds is that you CAN’T go to all the new schools built using those bonds.
That will make it not the same as living in the area as other kids closeby. Maybe the next door house is in the same boat, but I’d guess those houses would be less desirable.
In 4S, there is a gated community I think right next to the school and they aren’t directed to go there now (if the school is full which it always is).
To me, that makes the house a worst deal since you’re stuck driving to a far away school and not making friends with the locals.
This happened a lot with the new PUSD school as well (Design 39).
