Hmm my child is only 3 so it won't matter just yet, but the interest rates seem fairly low now so maybe I should lock in the 400k home, oh and also the good school district has gone from 89% white to 74% white in the last 10 years, which direction is that headed? And the teachers seem a bit woke there…"
