School districts are connected to housing. As long as schools are “locally funded”, you will always have a rush for houses in the better schools.

The problem with housing is lack of public transport as well. You could get houses farther away from the city. But the lack it public transport makes commutes terrible.

If you want a great school district things get really pricey. But if you’re single or don’t have kids I’m not sure if you want to pay the taxes.

More than anything if we need to improve housing I would focus on public transport more than anything else.
