We know that...

1. Urban sprawl has negative effects:

   • Traffic congestion

   • Air pollution

   • Reduced heath and life expectancy

   • Higher road and infrastructure costs

2. A primary driver of sprawl is dysfunctional schools that force middle-income families out of cities

3. Charter schools, magnet schools, private school scholarships, and other educational freedom opportunities have shown promise in overcoming the current dysfunctional assigned-school model

4. Public education delivery should be reformed so that all socioeconomic groups have choices that do not require moving out of the city

5. For jobs, economic development, the environment, some educational freedom is good and more educational freedom is better.
