How San Francisco makes it insanely hard to build housing
A SF school district is trying to solve the teacher housing problem by asking families to rent out rooms in their homes to teachers...<p><a href="https://news.yahoo.com/san-francisco-families-asked-loan-162838304.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.yahoo.com/san-francisco-families-asked-loan-162...</a><p>So - prospective teachers are expected to go to college, get into debt, get a master's in education, then get a job where they still have to live the life of a broke college student.<p>However, more market-rate housing won't solve the problem either, as teacher pay isn't enough to afford such housing.  I suppose below-market housing could be reserved for teachers and other city employees, although then it has little impact on the size of the homeless population...  It's all kind of dystopian.
