The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here in Miami, and I expect many others, the wealthy parents would use their wealth to buy homes in the attendance districts of the better public schools. Cheaper than private school, since you can (usually) recapture that premium when your kids leave home and you resell the house.

Mrs. Goofy and I were in broadcasting, where youy tend to get bounced from city to city every 3-4 years. Sometimes by company transfer, sometimes because your show gets cancelled, sometimes because you get fired, sometimes because…

We have no childen, but the most important issue on our list for buying homes (currently on #6) was “good school district” because we knew we could sell - quickly, and generally for a better price.
