@solvethehousingcrisis not sure how that would help get a private elementary school downtown, which is the problem at hand

@solvethehousingcrisis there's been a 40% drop in Minneapolis Public school enrollment the last 20 years, pretty sure they are aware

Anyways my toot was about private schools

@solvethehousingcrisis funding for a private school?

Something that is frustrating about living in a dense walkable neighborhood in the US is that the students at the public schools perform far below grade level,

Then all the high income families move out of your neighborhood when their kids are school age

All I want is an affordable private school downtown. We have one near dt, but it's $40k a year. Excellent private schools 5-6 miles away are $5-7k a year.

@SRLevine yeah we have those for the big tanks at work. Those you strap to the wall, and then remove the cap so you can get a regulator on there. These aren't removable (similar to a propane tank).
