Chapel Hill has historically not been a destination for RTP employees, Cary was. Prices were always cheaper in Raleigh/Cary than Chapel Hill and builders were building a lot more subdivisions because of the land available. In the 1980's Durant Road was "out there".
So long answer is land was cheaper in Wake than around CH and North Raleigh and Cary were almost totally undeveloped in the 1980's.
Chapel Hill's growth rate is much more "manageable" than Western Wake's. CH has built "up" more than "out" and at a much more gradual pace making it so that school's don't overcrowd as much. Because of the significantly smaller size of the school district (and the higher property taxes) they are able to fund and build schools at a pace that can keep up with growth easier than Wake can.
The two most recent new schools were Northside Elementary 2 years ago, and Carrboro High school about 7 years ago.
Chapel hill just resisted subdivision builders most of their housing stock is older
Or.....this is exactly what I said. Chapel Hill has a slower growth rate; thus it's easier for school construction to keep up with the student population.
But thank's for the unnecessarily personal jab bro...

they didn't build at all
That is completely false; and shows you have spent very little time in Chapel Hill if any at all.
