He is also not taking into account the fact that many private school
buildings were constructed decades ago - when the parts of town which
are now "poor" were once "middle" or "upper class".

I do house work for my church.  Many of the houses we work on are less
that 1,500 square feet.  That used to be a mansion.  Today "starter"
homes run about 1,500 square feet and couples move out when they have
their first kid.
