Now living in Panorama. One child goes to the local school, the other buses it to a school 30 minutes away...
More school please.

I'm sorry, but if you move into a community expecting a school to go up, because that's what you were told, then you're dreaming. I don't know if this is your situation, but I honestly laugh at parents and families that buy in these new communities expecting a school to go up.
If you're planning on having children in X amount of year, or already have kids that are close to going to school, then buy into a community that already has established schools. As well, make sure they can get in. Pregnant? Ok, you have 9 months to sell and find a community with an established school.
When you make your top 10 list for a home, schools should be in the top 3. At least it was for us.
I will agree that there is a school shortage. Or at least not enough schools for all the urban sprawl. But there are plenty of communities with schools, to pick from.
Sorry. Not trying to be a jerk.
Back on topic: no PST. Thanks.
