I think their point is that we've designed cities poorly if kids need to be bused 30 miles to school. Sure it's necessary for rural schools, but the post is about Pittsburgh so these are urban/suburban schools we're talking about.
With the slightest amount of planning we could have students within a few miles of a school, and when they're further it's not hard to have the regular transit system pick up the slack.
not everyone lives in a city, not every school is in a city
Yeah, on one hand I get that they were trying to dunk on America's unwillingness to plan for things but the framing just off enough that I felt the need to add some extra context.
If housing were guaranteed and a local population would be willing the change houses as their life situations changed, that'd be pretty cool too.
