So, do you gamble on the better location and possibly not having a high school for 5 or 7 years, or build in a less desirable location with a guaranteed opening of Sept 2017?
I think they made the logical choice, and I live in Cranston. I also think that people are way over-estimating the commute time here as well. McKenzie Towne to Legacy is 10 minutes at worst. Heck, I could drive the entire ring-road in 1.5 hours.

When they're saying hour and a half commutes i think they're referring to school bus rides not drive your own car times. But yes, driving your own car would take ten minutes. Probably not the way the majority of students would be getting to school, and of it were there would be quite a few more cars on the road.
