I am a bit doubtful that free school choice will solve the "in some places real estate is really expensive" problem.
For example, NYC has a notoriously bad public school system and very expensive real estate.
The problem is not expensive real estate persay; it's supply restrictions that make real estate more expensive than necessary. Free school choice would remove much of the motive for these restrictions.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
