Do you honestly think that's accurate?
It's not even accurate for the San Diego area. They've opened dozens of schools, and that's just counting the dirty Cath oh Licks. Here's one they opened in 2005.

That's a renamed school. That used to be "Uni" (across the street from USD). Um... And before you link the second "new" one, Mater Dei used to be Marian. They just changed names and moved locations. There are still 5 Catholic High Schools in San Diego. There were 5 20 years ago when I attended one of them. I'm pretty sure there were 5 when my brother attended one 10 years before that. In fact, all 5 have alumni dates going back to the 60s or farther.
Here's the link to all
Catholic Schools in San Diego. Heh. If you click on the "new high schools", you get a "page not found" error...
I recognize most of the gradeschools from back in the day as well. There might be one or two new ones.
Want me to list off the number of public schools opened in San Diego just in the last 20 years to compare?
And yeah. I'm aware of the term "crowded out" Demea. Um... Does the terminology make what I said any less true? No... It doesn't...
Also, the Tiebout model is a silly attempt to try to argue that government funded programs can operate like a free market. Except that in a free market, the consumer can actually freely choose to buy itemA or itemB. In the Tiebout model, this only happens if we pretend that the cost for someone to move from one physical location to another is zero.
Um... Which isn't true in *any* real economy. See... Why not just allow the free market method in the first place? Then you don't have to move to make a choice. Yeah. Obvious. I know...
