Who cares about public schools in Louisiana. My parents found a way to send me to a Cathoic private schools on a modest income. It can be done.

That's fine, but you have to add that expense in then if you are going to compare house notes. You also have to add in state income taxes for Louisiana, since in Texas we don't have those.

I went to a private school through high school in Louisiana as well. Sending me to a shithole public school in BR wasn't even an option. But I won't have that expense when I have children.

I lived in Baton Rouge for the first 22 years of my life and moved to Houston in 2009. There is no comparison when talking about housing value.

Of course it can be done. Or you can live in Texas, not spend the 100K per kid(8k a year for 12 years), and buy a boat, hunting land, and retire 10 years earlier. Or you can be like me, see how it make no freaking sense to stay in New Olreans, but have a wife who refuses to listen because she thinks NOLA is the only place in the world

All things being equal, that reduced their disposable income. Point being, a healthy public school system can help you to save for an earlier retirement, vacations, or an evening with Dan Bilzerian.
