When I tell people to buy cheap real estate, I commonly hear “you have to pay if you want good schools.”
I am not sure this is true.
In 2024, if you get a hoity toity school district then they will troon your kids. If you pay $1m for an urban house then your kid will get the beatdown from gangsters in training like it’s prison.
Sure, rural schools are a bunch of dumb hick kids, but I’d think a small city school in a red state would be just ok. Not great, but ok.
Am I wrong?
