  1. Rob, tell us how you really feel, don’t hold back.
    Think of how dfferently you may have turned out if you had gone to a better school and received more individualized attention from the teachers and counselors etc. Of course, I knew kids when I was growing up who went to fancy schools and many of them turned out to be train wrecks and die young. So you never know. Kids need good schools and good supportive home environments. They also need to be born with a proper balance of chemicals in their brains. So there are no guarantees. What else is new?

  2. they arent squeamish about their kids education. they are closeted bigots who like to preach diversity but wont practice it. how do you think that makes the kids and parents of the kids who cant afford 30K a year on private school feel? do you really expect them to welcome you to the neighborhood with open arms if youre afraid to send your kids to the neighborhood schools? i dont think so. people really should start practicing what they preach in this city.

    and you know my stance on students in nyc. they’re all dumb as a box of rocks, even the ones who go to segregated private schools for 30K a year.

  3. Dave, thanks, $6,200 a year is cheap. A house like this in Montclair, NJ would have something like a $30,000 a year tax bill.
    Of course it would probably be cheaper to buy. Folks who buy a house like this would probably be squeamish about their kids’ education. That’s one area where the city just can’t compare with the burbs except in terms of private school, which is how much now? 28,000 a kid a year?
    Putting that aside, the big Victorians like this one in Brooklyn are hard to beat.

  4. quote:
    That is one of the big selling points of these big houses in the city, low taxes, the drawback is where to send the kids to school?

    how about the same place the rest of the kids go to school? but oh NOES! willing to pay millions of dollars for a house but don’t want our children interacting with the local riff-raff!? barf. how about doing something nice for the community you cherish so much and diversify the schools maing it better for everyone?!
