Neighborhood property values rise or fall based on how desirable their schools are. In areas that allow school choice, schools with the "luxuries" you mention also have a competitive advantage and so get more students (and hence more funding.) School choice is like any other market -- once marketing comes into the picture the focus is on flash and not on fundamentals. compass rose,

I am SO sick of hearing people bemoan one side or the other in the political game for their responsible role in this mess when it was in fact movements on both sides that brought us here, along with voter complacency letting these polished turds stay in office. oilwelldoctor:

What's the impact going to be if AIG fails, or if Wamu is bought? Also: With this new "we don't bailout" policy... what's going to happen to Wamu? If it fails and doesn't get bought, what happens to my deposits (under FDIC limit, naturally)? FDIC will likely ensure them, but how long could I be potentially waiting on access to my money?
