I just think your entire goal is a paradox. Housing prices are high where the schools are good almost by definition. Any city where there is a high stratification of incomes will have this truth, and New York is no better example of it.

Certain neighborhoods are expensive because they have good transportation and good schools. Those are the two main amenities that raise the values in a neighborhood (at least for families). Educating your children is practically a contact sport in this town. Parents will do almost anything to get a their child into a good school. As soon as school rankings go up, property values skyrocket.

Anyone have any word on public schools in the southern Brooklyn areas (maybe Bay Ridge/Dyker area or over by Sheepshead/Gravesend)
