    The schools in cities are a disaster zone tho

    If you got kids you gotta be in the suburbs for the schools

      They vary heavily by district. Houston's River Oaks school districts are immaculate. Third Ward, not so much.

      Take a wild guess what the property sells for in each respectively.

        and to the extent it might be true it's true because of racism, neoliberalism, and christofascist undermining of schools

        It is true. School quality correlates strongly with property values. Often because property taxes are how they’re financed.

        Another person said it was because of racism, classism, capitalism etc and they’re right.

        Of course, that’s the vile part. Every parent with the means to improve their child’s schooling will choose the better schools over the more centralized and diverse neighborhoods.

        We live in a self perpetuating system.
