Becoming a bit like Europe where the burbs are for the immigrants and the cities for the well to do.

I agree. There's a wealth effect at work. Cities have a lot to offer in convenience and amenities if you can afford to live in a decent neighborhood.

The wealth effect applies to schools as well as housing. I live in DC. Private school is part of the price we pay. We have the income to manage it. Those who don't tend to move to the burbs.

Voucher the schools and you would see an extraordinary transformation of the cities within a generation.

What changes to choice of place to live do you think would happen with a education voucher system?

I have my idea but I’m interested in what you think would happen.
