Public schools are closing due to lack of enrollment. Transit agencies are cutting back from low ridership and lack of fare revenue. If housing costs were low enough for more people to move in affordably it could be a boon for the city.

Maybe a boon for the city, but is definitively a boon for the people? Or could they be better served by building up another nearby town and connecting it?

There are also a lot of nearby towns already connected by somewhat frequent rail service that could also do well to densify

[what]

Public schools are closing because of DILDOs (dual income, little dog owners). If people aren’t having children, there’s no need for the schools.

Not because their budgets are being slashed every year?

[what]

Why wouldn’t you slash the budgets when enrollment is decreasing? And when you expect a 15% decrease in enrollment over the next 10 years?

Chicken, egg?
