San Francisco school district asks parents to rent out spare rooms to TEACHERS because they can't afford soaring housing costs: Average price of a one-bedroom apartment soars 11% to $3,000 a month in the world's tech capital
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Milpitas Unified School District near San Jose is home to 941 staff members - and some of the highest rents in the country

  • A one-bedroom apartment is now averaging $3,017 - meaning even the highest-paid teachers on $111,410 could not afford the rent

  • The lowest paid teachers, earning $67,163, could only rent an apartment at a maximum value of $1,679 - impossible in the neighborhood

  • Cheryl Jordan, superintendent of Milpitas Unified School District, said the rental costs were putting off prospective teachers

  • The district has asked parents to rent spare rooms to teachers: so far, 34 families have said they are interested in helping out
