Remember, that universal free education was great when it was for my kids and grandkids. But when it included “their” kids, too - well - enough is enough. MY property taxes (in my high property cost, low child-count-per-family area) need to go to MY schools. THEIR property taxes (in their low property cost, high child-count-per-family area) can go to THEIR schools.
Lots of moving parts here. Many of which are subject to manipulation.
