No, the problem is families are moving away from the city into the suburbs and the different changes in areas when it comes to urbanization are causing a lot of the numbers to drop in city schools. A few years ago, there were over 26000 students on average in the school district at any given year. That number has dwindled to roughly 23000 and some of these schools only have a 150 or maybe 200 students attending, so it's not cost-effective for the district to keep those open. It's easier for them to make new boundaries and divide up those students amongst other nearby schools. Even though none of these buildings are historic, the fact they sit on the same site and have served their certain neighborhoods for over a 100 years is definitely tragic.
@@maddogmerv There's loads of house building here but the biggest complaints are that everything else is being left out. Schools,health centres,libraries etc are not,leading to problems with over crowded schools,slim chance of doctors appointments and no dentists.
Think age,cost to repair,earthquake ready, land value,etc.Its sad to witness the demos of many historical buildings.
Nice history info and pics.
Very good narration.
The reference to historical blds: example Brigham Street, (south temple)..PBS had a documentary .
That was interesting. Why are they shutting so many schools? Surely your city's population is growing 🤔
