The District of North Vancouver has sold a school near Grouse Mountain to property developers who intend to build 12 ‘single family’ homes.<\/p>\n
A question may be asked as to where will the children in such ‘family’ homes go to school.<\/p>\n
However, as it stands, enrollment in schools continue to drop in these predominantly $1 million+ single family home neighbourhoods. As such, the District’s sale of the underutilized property makes good fiscal sense.<\/p>\n
So another couple questions may be, “What is the increasing high-price of real estate doing to the social fabric of the communities in which we grew up?” and, “Can or should anything be done to save that social fabric; or, is it just a natural part of community evolution?”<\/p>\n
