No, just that private schools don't raise property values the way good public schools do (b/c public schools only admit students based on neighborhood they live in, so a good public school is considered real estate location gold). "But wait," you're thinking, "Aren't private schools better than public schools?" Yes, but since they're not location-dependent, they don't create scarcity effects in their locations; hence, they don't raise property values as substantially as good public schools do.

This is incorrect.

Checking the Megan's Law website has never occurred to me. This is probably the first and only time I will give it any thought.

Could you be a bit more specific? Are you saying that convicted sex offenders are allowed to live near schools? Because that's news to me. I am pretty sure we passed a law banning them from doing so in California about 8 years ago. Maybe it's not a common thing in other states?

Residency restrictions exist in few states, and they are being overturned as unconstitutional. Georgia recently was forced to allow them to live anywhere.

I just kicked a convicted sex offender out of my bedroom this morning. Agreed the price in advance but the ***** still wanted more.
