From today's SF Examiner...
A couple of interesting real estate-related items in today's Examiner:
1. Mission Street Sees Condo Boom - The area around the Transbay Terminal has a number of projects underway, and "the area around the terminal is expected to become a redevelopment area in the next decade with the eventual development of 3,400 housing units as well as offices and hotels."
2. San Francisco Students soar to top of state's list - Test scores rank best of California's urban areas. Unfortunately, they have no online version of this article, but it's on pages 5-7 of the print edition (which can be read in PDF format). I guess some folks might legitimately consider staying in SF rather than moving to Marin when their kids reach school age...

Hmmmm. With the test scores thing...Don't you think that could be a by-product of blue collar families being priced out of the housing market?
If only wealthy, well-educated families raise children in SF, then those children are going to be markedly better on standardized tests (since the tests correlate better with wealth than they do with academic acheivement).
Just a thought, no factual data for that claim.
Fair enough... It's just a common complaint among the "wealthy, educated" homeowners that the schools are better in Marin (or anywhere other than SF, for that matter). My comment was mostly aimed at them. If the schools are full of the wealthy and well-educated, are they coming up from the Penninsula? Most folks I know have moved to Marin with their school-aged children... Again, this is far from factual data, just personal experience.
