What you’re suggesting, if I understand you correctly, is the market is suggestion it’s irrational for any teacher to go to SF? And thus SF shouldn’t have any teachers because richer people can afford to displace them?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI'm sorry if you got that impression.Im saying the exact opposite. I'm saying we should let the schools get to the point of teacher shortages, and then teacher salaries will increase until the they can afford to live in the area. The current solution is stupid. We keep paying them unsustainable salary and work them in garbage conditions, but 1/10 wins the free housing lottery and gets below market housing.
- azinman2 2y agoYou can only increase teacher salaries so much before tuition becomes unaffordable. Private schools can only charge so much before demand falls off, and public schools have a max budget before they have to close schools (happening now in SF) and growing class room sizes, thereby negatively affecting future society. Free market doesn’t optimize across society’s needs, which is why we have government to redistribute / ease things via taxation.
