View original postOne of the unintended but completely predictable consequences of racially seleftive bussing. Not surprisingly anyone who couldn't afford private school instead chose to move to smaller suburbs instead of allowing their children to be bused across town to bad scools.
France has a similar "school district" system where people choose to live (or not to live) in particular districts specifically because of the school to which children in that area are supposed to go, and probably not very coincidentally, it also has some of the nastiest ghetto-like suburbs anywhere in Europe, as well as some of the most elite ones.
One of the many, many ways in which France is the USA of the European continent. The truth hurts, I know.

Just that they don't have busing, and thus less incentive to live away from the city

Seems an unnatural method for describing Europe.

In the US the suburbs are often bigger than the cities and typically much more liveable
