San Francisco school district asks parents to rent out spare rooms to TEACHERS because they can't afford soaring housing costs: Average price of a one-bedroom apartment soars 11% to $3,000 a month in the world's tech capital
2022-09-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Milpitas Unified School District near San Jose is home to 941 staff members - and some of the highest rents in the country

  • A one-bedroom apartment is now averaging $3,017 - meaning even the highest-paid teachers on $111,410 could not afford the rent

  • The lowest paid teachers, earning $67,163, could only rent an apartment at a maximum value of $1,679 - impossible in the neighborhood

  • Cheryl Jordan, superintendent of Milpitas Unified School District, said the rental costs were putting off prospective teachers

  • The district has asked parents to rent spare rooms to teachers: so far, 34 families have said they are interested in helping out

#14  Milpitas is in Santa Clara county, not SF county

#13  Years ago Milpitas was the butt of many a joke; a location that was half swamp. Then the Afghans began to arrive and by now it is probably the largest concentration of Afghanis in the USA.

#12  I'd heard folks were fleeing San Francisco which would tend to make prices go down. What's going on here?

#11  Do it the San Fran way. Declare the teachers homeless and then set them up in luxury hotels.

#10  The teachers can sleep on cots in the school gym if it's that bad.

#8  If this kills off the "snail darter," they can go back to letting farmers have the water.

#7  Feed the homeless!

San Francisco will have to spend $14 billion filtering nutrients from human POOP to stop growth of huge algae bloom blamed for killing thousands of fish in city's famed bay

#6  The idea that SF would actually need schools or have parents with children is troubling.

#5  I was thinking the same thing. 😉

#4  Some kids might get some good grades out of such an arrangement.

#1  Near the capital city of tech dreck,
Some teachers are, like, "What the heck?
Rent is more than we're worth...
But we might swing a berth
Down the hall from your kids.
We'll share bathroom and vids,
And we swear to do chores...
Like make vegan s'mores!
Pretty please?"
"Have you checked Rent-a-Wreck?"
