Dr. Hardin joins us to discuss his recent study, The Housing Price Premium Associated with Charter Schools. This existing literature documents the relationship between public school quality and a residential real estate price premium. Hardin discusses how charter schools impact the residential real estate market here in Miami-Dade and Broward County areas. A key to follow is how the overall quality of a school determines this classification and why (8:00).

This overview answers the unspoken question we have all been wondering; are charter schools gentrifying surrounding neighborhoods? (7:22) Followed by this discussion, Hardin shares his “why Miami” point of view (22:27) and the importance of talent within the workforce here in the city (30:24).
