[Massplanners] Housing Production vs. School Enrollment

[Douglas Finn]

Uhm,... why do I remember a court case that revolved around rejection of a
subdivision on the grounds that it would cost the town more in school
expenses?

Perhaps I don't see the big picture (or all the details of the smaller
picture)... can someone else offer a comment on this?

- Doug.
