Miffed by the bond

I don't understand why the bond measure failed. Since I don't have a big, expensive house, it wasn't that expensive and it would have provided a better high school AND a new library. Seemed like a bargain to me. I voted yes both times and I don't have kids or a high income. I think decent school facilities are worth the sacrifice of a few dinners out very year. Seemed like a small price to pay make our community a better place for families. Sorry I'm so clueless, but why did so many people vote no?
