In response to "Saying someone live in the suburbs does not mean they automatically live far from a school. Most (if not all) new subdivision builders are required to" by zork

I don't think it's required most places here; but there are some that are like that - for example, (and what a sucky way to learn), - b. May 21, 15:15
Yeah, all the ones I lived in had schools, I just didn't end up going to them. -- nm - mafic May 21, 15:15
in the universe that the study covers -- nm - zork May 21, 15:15 1
- sorry, that sounds bad. Just meant that it's a canadian study. -- nm - zork May 21, 15:15
It depends on the municiplality here, but this is generally the case in how new suburbs are zoned - Reagen May 21, 15:14 9
- Every experience I've had in here has been along the lines of a campus or expanding current buildings. - TWuG May 21, 15:18 8
  - And for additional savings they're cutting back on school bus service. -- nm - Meg May 21, 15:26
  - At least in Calgary, the focus is very much on "community based" planning - Reagen May 21, 15:21 6
    - and the town figures that if the builder is going to make millions selling their homes, they can put some money into parks and schools. -- nm - zork May 21, 15:25 4
      - yes. "municipal reserve", it's usually called, and is typically 5% of a new development. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 15:32
      - and sewers and such. -- nm - zork May 21, 15:25 2
        
        Sewers, roads, street lights all are footed by the developer. Electrical, gas, cable are all footed by the providers. Schools are footed by property - TWuG May 21, 15:47 1
        
        developers usually build a school in their subdivisions, I recall one built a university in Malibu to get permits -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 16:13
    - That's the logical way to approach it. So no wonder the US doesn't work that way. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 15:23
