Maybe that shouldn't be allowed, there should be a one year delay or a draw of some sort with weighted odds how long you've lived there. Because schools get overloaded really fast while following the rules.
One other solution is to try to raise the floor for what is considered a "bad" school.

If it's not the standard Fraser institute type of what good and bad schools mean (ie. white, rich, no disabilities), then that's something that can be addressed with stronger funding and dropping the need for people to get into a "good" school.

They can make sure schools don't get dilapidated, with good playground and teaching equipment (new textbooks/libraries/computers etc.) and of course class sizes, EA resources and all that. Raising the floor might make a few more people not need to find an address to go to a good school.
