Mahogany and Cranston are currently in the bussing phase and it makes parents very angry and tgat is when you here the "I bought a house right beside the school and now my kids can't go to it". Complaints.
I think your last point is very important that individuals need to research the schools as part of deciding where they live. Realators need to do more than say this is where the school will be built (in 10 years) and here's a school you can go do (if you win the lottery)

Builders do that as well as realtors. They'll develop an area and set aside land for a future school and say it's 10 years away. What they don't mention is that 10 years is a guess at best and they have no idea as it depends on the province and when they decide to build the school
