Reply to comment by IamSauerKraut in WHERE IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO LIVE FOR THE LOWEST TAXES WITH PSD/EIT by First-Onion-1026

Absolutely understand. I was thinking about my high schools day up near Buffalo, NY. I went to a Catholic HS, and we had one calc teacher, one chemistry teacher, one AP English teacher, etc.

The local school district had about 5 of each, and a student could pick the teacher that worked best for them.

That's all I meant - better choice in a larger district.

And I get the benefits - I live in Chester County in an area that was semi-rural, but the McMansions have taken over (almost zero regional planning). I spend more time driving west and NW to Lancaster and Berks counties than I spend driving toward Philly! (But Philly does have world-class medical facilities and doctors)

PennMedicine has its tentacles all the way into the western suburbs of Harrisburg. And some of the largest high schools in PA are in... central PA. I believe Reading HS has long been the largest and McCaskey is at #3 or 4. McMansions are out this way, too. Some even built by Toll Bros. Please take back your townhome cluster jobs; they suck.
