This says more about California's very high cost of living than teacher's salaries.

  Given that teaching, almost by rule, occurs locally this says something about the relationship between those two things.

    Despite this, the student to teacher ratio in the bay area is still 19:1 - 23:1. Hardly a change. So clearly teacher pay is not a big issue.

      How does student:teacher ratio impact whether or not a teacher can afford to live in/near a community - which, presumably, they need to do to teach there?

        > which, presumably, they need to do to teach there Clearly they still can. They can afford to live there or commute. If they couldn't the teacher-student ratio would go down.

    But couldn't you substitute teacher with any other job. It's not about teacher pay. It's the price of housing has skyrocketed compared to average salaries in general.
