If we decoupled housing from education as much as possible then at least people wouldn&#x27;t be forced to buy all sorts of other amenities that they might or might not want along with the educations they do want.<p>There&#x27;d be a lot of winners from such a change, but the big losers would be incumbent homeowners in neighborhoods with &quot;good schools&quot; that have had that circumstance capitalized into the prices of their homes. Unfortunately that&#x27;s quite a powerful group of people.
