Teachers Become Super-Commuters To Work In San Francisco

Most people have that one teacher who changed the course of their life forever, but increasingly, students in the Bay Area are losing the opportunity to have that kind of relationship with an educator. Susie Steimle reports. (10-16-2019)

Over $3, 700 for a one-bedroom one-bath apartment. Are you kidding me

It’s weird to think you could be making 100k a year and still be considered low income

[diggingmystyle]

Pretty soon, there won't be anyone making coffee for these rich folks.

[sbkpilot]

I will never understand why people will subject themselves to this.. you have only one life, move elsewhere.. it isn't worth it.

[Spn]

The bay area is so expensive even the sports teams are moving away

[fernandomelgar]

You can tell how much heart she has invested with teaching. We can't let that go away.

[PSYCLOWN]

I could live like a damn king in my city making 90k a year.

The way that things have increased in price is insane. I'm afraid that it is going to end in a really bad way.

Sf has become such an unattractive city.

[katieadams]

SF to Oakland is NOWHERE near a super commute, it's only 12 miles, something like Sacremento to SF or Fresno to SF is more like a super commute

[schmootheonly]

The tech companies ruin these cities. San Francisco used to be colourful and creative. Now it's lame af.

[jerryvelasco]

All the teachers should just leave. Once the rich can't find any schools to take their kids. Then things might actually change.

[knucklehoagies]

Umm a "Supercommuter" is someone who commutes from OUTSIDE the bay area like Sacramento.

[kaizersolze]

2:19 Obviously SF needs teachers because "salaries" is spelled *S-A-L-A-R-I-E-S*.

If she lives in Oakland there's no way it takes her 3 hours to get to the mission

[dartagnan]

blame the home owners who oppose development in order to hold on to higher rents.

[FXEENEY]

2:21 Isn’t it ironic that they misspelled Salaries?😂

[loveunderlaw]

SHE MUST REALLY LOVE BEING A TEACHER!!! I DON'T THINK I'D DO THAT COMMUTE DAILY...

[denkoxh]

When you are considered low income on a salary of $90, 000 you know that the system is broken...
