Schools are definitely a major issue. When my parents moved to Sundance in the late 80s, we had to be bussed into Chinook Park Elementary, which was a fairly massive burden to my whole family. Then once Junior High hit, the only non-religious schools, were also nowhere near our neighbourhood and somehow grouped in with Forest Lawn. The city had basically taken the new neighbourhoods, excluded them from the closer geographically closer neighbourhood, as not to upset the existing student body's parents, and put us in schools that no one else wanted to go to.
