People either have wild ideas about how much money people make or how much private schools cost. The number of people in these neighborhoods that can afford $20-$40k per kid for tuition year after year is tiny. Just because a house is over $400k doesn’t mean people making Bryce Harper money live in it.

The homes in that area are typically between 500k to 700k these days I believe but generally you’re right. I wasn’t thinking about people who bought long ago, inherited, or just stretched themselves thin with house budget. And good old inflation.
