Enen with tech workers complaining about the high rents, I wonder how bad teachers fare? Or are these districts in "cheap" areas?

- chris11 7y agoSan Mateo and Redwood City are both expensive, but not as bad as SF. One article reported median rents were about 2.4k, which makes sense. There a few places advertising lower rents, but not many, and at that price you are giving stuff up. SF is worse. Another issue is the commute. Traffic is really bad, so finding a cheaper place farther away from work will cost you in time and energy, especially if you have to cross a bridge. It's so bad that some districts, including San Mateo, are building their own housing for teachers. https://edsource.org/2019/in-need-of-teacher-housing-more-california-school-districts-building-their-own/611220 https://edsource.org/2019/in-need-of-teacher-housing-more-ca... https://sf.curbed.com/2019/8/20/20814179/housing-crisis-teachers-educators-san-francisco-average-rent https://sf.curbed.com/2019/8/20/20814179/housing-crisis-teac...
- notfromhere 7y ago2.4k on rent when you're making between 31-3700 post-tax is kinda brutal.
