Back to the school topics I think something that is important to point out is that the schools are designed for the life cycle of a community not the peak capacity of a community.
So the building is designed for the long term load of students that the neighbourhood will produce. Then you add portable units to get the school to meet most of the short term needs, then you bus out students to under utilized schools to cut off the peak demand.
This philosophy is far more efficient then building big schools for peak capacity of a neighbourhood. If people don't check into the capacity issues of their elementary schools before they buy that is their fault. I like the current system and do think these facility less schools are a good idea to soften out the peaks where necessary.
