probably so, but they have 7 years of reduced rent. i agree that teachers should be paid far, far more, but it's going to take more than minor change to get us to the point where pay for almost anyone is commensurate with housing costs, in the bay area or any major U.S. metro now

also every housing unit is a diversion of resources, and every unit at any price point excludes every "hard working person" who can't afford that price point. a school itself is a diversion of resources. so is a fire station. these are the decisions we make. this isn't unique

just like the mix of who is housed in any particular development is a key point of contention and struggle, because it says something about who our society collectively prioritizes to exist there, vs who it does not

in this case, it seems to be an argument against the kind of workforce housing you were arguing for last night. a handy phrase-- useful for every occasion!
