Ender and Popa, I don’t get what you are saying. There is no free lunch. If the average property has to support a third of a child in school, then property tax is $3500 on the average property. If the average property has to support seven children in school, then property tax will have to be $70,000 on the average property.
My impression is that in Monsey and Lakewood, busing, textbooks, and remedial programs alone were enough to basically double property tax, even as the public schools shrank dramatically.
