this is actually related to those urban land use regulations I was talking about. this isn't all of the reason, obviously, but one of the reasons is that we are very sprawled out and have a lot of fragmented metropolitan areas. so as people moved from city centers to surburbs, we had to build schools since there hadn't been any. in areas where suburbanization has continued, like the bay area, this process has also continued

in areas like seattle I suspect what happened is that old schools were repurposed during times of population declines (like the 70s and 80s for Seattle) and now that growth has really ramped up the old schools that still exist aren't adequate to the task

So I'm curious, what sort of urban zoning and land use do you think should have been put in place back then and should be put in now?

I do wish that the lottery being for the benefit of the schools stayed in place. But that got moved to general fund once they saw how much it was making.
