I don't think it's "property value " so much home ownership vs. rental. I
really think that sense of responsibility and permanence from home ownership
leads to a longer view that supports academic excellence. In the US, a
renter is actually encouraged to move often based on move in incentives,
etc. Ask any person in K12 teaching how disruptive a family move is to a
childs learning process.
