- 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 f****** kidding me
It's nucking futs! That's my mortgage for 4 months on a 4bd/2ba 1800 sf in Nevada.
Welcome to the bay area. And THAT is considered "relatively affordable" to these room sharing google engineers. Welcome to the world of gentrification.
That's more than my mortgage....way more. No way I'd live in San Francisco
But with that money you get homeless drug addicts who shoot up and act wild while you're trying to sleep who squat right outside of your apartment window!
@@Quanic2000 Irony is that those homeless drug addicts were displaced largely by those same tech yuppies occupying those apartments.

wrong soy-boy wrong, the problem is that you left-tards keep voting for those demarats. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think it's funny that socialist bitch commutes 3hrs each way. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝 you get what you vote for. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 loser.
vgcrashnburn it’s more to due with a high demand for housing that exceeds the supply. I.e lots of people want to live there and no enough can. Not as much of a political thing.
Haha, that was Lily Tommlin's quote!
@@vgcrashnburn you're definitely a bot lol
Youssef Hamidi The non-problem is that SF's 'rat-race' is made up of of rats. Rats get what what they deserve for brainwashing students and demanding people lose freedoms. Give the rich youre overrated city already: they deserve it. You commute and talk less.
Pretty soon, there won't be anyone making coffee for these rich folks.
robots will do the job
If the working class stopped making the communities of the rich so comfortable, THEN the rich would finally collaborate in doing something to fix the problem. But it's not a problem for them yet.
Nooo how will they survive? Poor rich folks have it hard 😓
@@Chy-th3sj they'll have to buy Keurig and actually refill the water themselves...oh the pain
@@tomhal4388 no they won't. They'll just move to a 3rd world country and get 10 cheap laborers for the price of one here.
It’s weird to think you could be making 100k a year and still be considered low income
that's kind of scary. I live in a place outside of SF, and I thought I was doing OK...but relative to SF, yeah, I'm poor as dirt.
Opposition Guerrilla
The cost of living there is astronomical.
COMMIEfornia.
@@renagadebilly2007 I almost wish it was communism then you could actually get stuff. This is like rich people land where the Poor get screwed. But they just pretend like they’re doing stuff to help people 🙄. It’s all a big show.
I could live like a damn king in my city making 90k a year.
anything under $100 and U will need a VAN down by the River...excuse me Ocean
I’m a bus driver in the Bay Area and I made 90 K last year before taxes.
Last week, my wife and I got into a very heated argument about splitting the bills 50/50 in a one bedroom one bathroom suburban apartment. 😂
@@NotoriousN_I_G_ 90K bus driver?
Jose Guardiola I get paid a lot, but thats only because it’s so expensive here.
I pay 1775 for a small one bedroom one bathroom apartment in the suburbs. Super expensive.
Right my entire monthly bills total to 2k and i thought that was high lol
I will never understand why people will subject themselves to this.. you have only one life, move elsewhere.. it isn't worth it.
Jim Barcelona Exactly. Pretty tough to afford a new place when you're forced to quit your job to get it. Who would rent a house to somebody with NO income? Unfortunately, I.O.U.s just aren't worth what they used to be.
I am 1000% with you on this...the problem is that people feel entitled to live in SF
Some people have a family. Their partner and SO can’t also move their job or work. Many people don’t have the privilege to be able to just move
@TravelLynnandESL I want to see all the blue collar workers, service workers, teachers, EMS, fire all just leave at the same time. Then maybe something would be done. I would never live there unless I made 200k minimum. It's just not worth it, and honestly San Fran isn't even that great.
@@JimBarcelona literally immigrants do this. When the current place of living turns to shit. You pack up your shit and move. The great thing with america is you can start over
The bay area is so expensive even the sports teams are moving away
Like who?
The Warriors just moved to San Francisco from Oakland, lol.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 still in the Bay area dude.
The Raiders are leaving
@@kimleonard4087 That's true. Only one team though. Warriors, Giants, Niners, Sharks, Quakes, and As still in the Bay. Plus an Arena team is coming.
You can tell how much heart she has invested with teaching. We can't let that go away.
The way that things have increased in price is insane. I'm afraid that it is going to end in a really bad way.
Oh it is Ms. rita moore. It is
It has to end bad. Sadly the only way greed learns; is by hurting itself!
How can it end bad when CA has 41% of the country's millionaires. Tech money in SF is only going to increase. Housing market will never make a significant price drop.
Sir Judge are you being sarcastic?
Ch28 no he’s being serious. Productivity is at an all time high. Economy is alright even though our president is actively fighting against that. And there’s no end in sight to tech expansion. If it ends bad it’ll be in 100 years when we become sorta like Detroits car industry. But that’s far from soon.
SHE MUST REALLY LOVE BEING A TEACHER!!! I DON'T THINK I'D DO THAT COMMUTE DAILY...
She could teach somewhere cheaper you know not in bay area of Commiefornia
Marcus INfinity
Look at her though, she won’t leave California
its like 12 miles each way lol
Well she’s teaching elementary aged kids. They’re different from High School kids.
She's a behavior analyst (BCBA most likely).
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
Katie Adams yeah wtf, its not even 12 miles. Literally the next city over the bridge
I commute usually 60 miles one ways day
Oakland is huge and commuter traffic in the bay area is horrible. It can easily be more than 12 miles.
i thought the same thing - Oakland to SF isnt super commute it is just commute...
@@DmsStudios I commute from Pleasanton to SF, which is 35 miles, and that takes me around 2hrs via car. Oakland to SF is nothing
All the teachers should just leave. Once the rich can't find any schools to take their kids. Then things might actually change.
The tech companies ruin these cities. San Francisco used to be colourful and creative. Now it's lame af.
Sf has become such an unattractive city.
@MikeHunt lol it's a still a lot better than the dump u probably live in
I agree I never liked sf
Prathyush J. It depends. SF is a dump full of yuppies. It’s going to face a crisis soon due to its inability to expand/rebuild and the income disparity. Companies are already leaving the mess they created to areas in the Midwest like St. Louis, because it’s cheaper and comparable in living.
MikeHunt what you’re all too cowardly to state is that this is what happens when Jews run your country.
Desert Wanderer Aren’t you edgy
If she lives in Oakland there's no way it takes her 3 hours to get to the mission
It's 3hrs both ways not each way. Also she's using conections, so some of that hour and a half will be waiting around for the next train.
Oh please. Nobody ever doubles their commute time when discussing it. KPIX simple embellished.
@@patricklandon7476 Yes they did, but the woman herself explained that she spent 3 hours per day traveling, one eighth of her her day. I don't consider this a super-commute.
@@r.brooks5287 what's a super commute to you? I'm genuinely curious to know.
@@talitam.8414 My current commute is a 12 min walk door to door each way so anything over 15 mins. What I meant was she has a long commute rather than super one as some people are doing 2-3 hours each way. This all seems nuts to me, I'm not American and I live in a small town.
blame the home owners who oppose development in order to hold on to higher rents.
RIP California Dreaming.
With so many ppl leaving Cali, NYC , Miami to go to others states is causing their rent prices to increase
This hurts me being from Oakland myself, but the prices are going up drastically in every major city . I live in Atlanta and rent is driving up every as well 😣😖
Faith Kings this is so true even here in ATL it’s getting high to live
Faith Kings yeah a lot of Californians are coming to Texas which is driving the prices sky high.
Faith Kings its getting out of hand each day. The news channel I work for all of our stories usually is about nyc getting expensive by the day
2:21 Isn’t it ironic that they misspelled Salaries?😂
Lol... The effects already taking place literally right before our eyes.
EXACTLY!!!! Thank you
In NYC they spell it celeries.
at 1:30 they misspelled the... apparently, the salaries are too high to afford a proofreader
LOL that is very funny!
Umm a "Supercommuter" is someone who commutes from OUTSIDE the bay area like Sacramento.
No it means a 90 min commute one way.
Time not distance.
Fucking Sacramento? That is a 2.5 hour car ride and a 4 hour Amtrak ride. One way. You're insane.
@@Preservestlandry If that's the official definition, then it is flawed and should be revised upwards in time or distance.

Back in my day I had to walk 8 miles to school in the snow and it was uphill both ways.
Teachers and nurses are so disrespected today :(
I dont know what youre talking about, they get paid pretty damn well.
1. Remove Zoning Laws
2. Hike Fed interest rates up.
3. Watch the housing bubble pop.
Or move to another state
Juan Cruz Sadly most people will never even understand one and two of your bullet points thus the circle of stupidity continues
Can you explain this further? I'm kinda retarded when comes to real estate
#3 and high tech to crash 📉
Many states also have a similar housing bubble, sure the housing prices might be lower, but wages are also significantly lower/there's only min wage job or there's simply no jobs
@@robertjung9232
1. California Zoning Laws ( "Not in my Back Yard laws") restrict housing supply. So therefore there is less housing , while the population keeps growing . This causes a demand issue, you now have 1 house for 100 Californians. More demand with less supply increases the price of the house dramatically
2. The fed interest rate is about 2%, therefore Banks that loan you the money to buy a house lend it to you around 3.75% . The lower the interest rate, the more money you can borrow . the more money people can borrow, the higher the bid will be for the house. Therefore dramatically increasing the price for the house.
The average Joe in Cali can't take out a $800,000 home loan and deal with Zoning Law Fees. So it's mostly the upper class people that benefit from this. Some investors just buy the house and forward the cost to renters. That's why even rent prices are out of control.
3. Basically removing zoning laws and hiking up interest rates will have the opposite affect. And you will see house prices come back down to normal.
4. Lots of my friends and family are moving to Arizona and Texas. Notice Arizona and Texas don't have Zoning Laws and house prices are a lot more reasonable.
2:19 Obviously SF needs teachers because "salaries" is spelled *S-A-L-A-R-I-E-S*.
@Sudhir Kakar If you think a teacher's workday is simply 8 or 9 hours, you're badly mistaken. When was the last time you worked in any sort of educational environment including day care or after school care?
Hahaha! Nice catch. Maybe they spelled it "SALEries" because the teachers have to sell their homes and move because they're not getting paid enough to live there.
Thought it was a weird American way of writing it! Thanks for clearing that up!lol
"Why don't you come on overrrr Saaaallllariiess"🎵🎶🎵
bknoc Hi, can’t say I’ve met too many teachers like that in my career. Most would like to occasionally see the kids they teach, be able to walk to work, own their own home, attend school events, participate in school meetings with parents in the evening, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Stories like this are so common, I remember having a teacher having to come all the way from Danville to my neighborhood high school in Almaden. Some young bright eyed teachers my school left within the exact same time frame
My heart goes out to these teachers.
Tracy to Dublin then Bart to SF is a super commute.
I don't understand these people, stop supporting the foundation who doesn't care about you.
Exactly
$3700 a month for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco? That's just outrageous!
I can’t believe they are making a big deal about this teachers commute. She is not a super- commuter for those who are not familiar with the Bay Area. She lives right across the Bay. Super-commuters are those who come from Sacramento or Stockton area. The media just can’t stop lying to us.
I know she is at MacArthur. Which is wayyyyy more decent than most commutes. Still might suck tho
I thought the same shit. I was like Oakland?? That's literally right across the bay. I had a coworker commuting from sac to sf everyday of the week.
Yes, Modesto to Bay,,,,75 miles one way. Thank fully we start early so the morning is only 1.5 hrs. I would ride bart across bay for 83K.
Seems her commute is exaggerated at 3 hours. The most with traffic and transfers is 2 hours. I do that shit everyday too
IT'S NOT JUST TEACHERS, IT'S EVERYONE! WAGES DO NOT MEET UP WITH THE COST OF LIVING. WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY PEOPLE BECOME HOMELESS? 30% OF HOMELESS ARE ACTUAL WHILE 70% OF THE HOMELESS ARE LIVING LIKE HOMELESS DO TO COST OF LIVING. YES, SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO LIVE LIKE THE HOMELESS. THEY EVEN GO AS FAR TO PAY A VAGRANT PER DAY TO WATCH OVER THEIR TENTS WHILE THEY WORK ALL DAY. THE DAYS OF SAVING MONEY TO BUY A HIME ARE OVER AND HAVE BEEN OVER FOR A LONG TIME. THIS IS WHY WE SEE SO MANY TAKE TO THE STREETS. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR STABILITY AND THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE STABILITY IS TO OWN A HOME. APARTMENT LIVING HAS BECOME VICIOUS WITH LEASE AGREEMENTS LASTING ONLY 12 MONTHS AT BEST YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND FIND A 18 MONYH LEASE, NO MATTER HOW MANY MONTHS AT THE END OF LEASE TERM RENT INCREASE OCCURS USUALLY 8% INCREASE EACH NEW LEASE AGREEMENT. MEANWHILE YOUR PAY CHECK REMAINS THE SAME AND SOON YOU ARE LIVING PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK BEFORE THAT BECOMES OBSOLETE; NEXT YOU FIND YOU CAN'T AFFORD RENT. SO YOU MUST MOVE ONLY TO FIND THE NEXT PLACE HIGHER OR JUST AS HIGH AS FROM WHERE YOU HAD TO LEAVE. RENTAL PROPERTY ARE ALL CORPORATIONS AND OWN NUMEROUS PROPERTIES. THIS IS WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. THIS IS HOW ONE BECOMES HOMELESS. CALIFORNIA IS THE WORST ON WAGE VERSUS COST OF LIVING, BUT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL ACROSS AMERICA. IF WAGES CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YHE COST OF LIVING HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE BUT TO BECOME HOMELESS. THESE RENTAL PROPERTIES BEING CORPORATIONS OWN NOT ONLY MULTIPLE PROPERTIES IN CALIFORNIA BUT YOU FINDVTHE SAME PROPERTIES IN MULTIPLE STATES. IT IS CRAZY HOW THIS IS THE NEW NORM. NO COMPASSION, NO REGARDS, IT'S A LOT LIKE ANIMAL ABUSE BUT THIS IS HUMAN ABUSE. ABUSE AN ANIMAL GO TO JAIL ABUSE A HUMAN NOBODY CARES. YOU CAN NOT TRUST YOUR EMPLOYER'S, YOU MIGHT BE LAYED OFF AT ANYTIME, YOU CAN'T TRUST A RENTAL PROPERTY, PRIVATE OR CORPORATE RENTALS. HUMANS ARE LOSING JOBS DO TO COMPUTERS SO WHERE DO HUMANS GO? IF YOU WORK 3 - 4 JOBS YOU STILL WIND UP ONLY MAKING AROUND $40K PER YEAR. RENTS STARTING AT $2K A MONTH ON UP! AVERAGE RENT IN CALIFORNIA BEGINS AT $2,200 PER MO. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE YOUR UTILITY COST. SO $2200 GOES TO $2400 + RENTERS INSURANCE $2500 PER MO. Which equals $30K PLUS PER YEAR NOT INCLUDING FOOD. AVERAGE GROCERY $300 A WEEK. THE COST OF LIVING IS JUST TO HIGH. THE MOST IRONIC THING IS EVERYONE IS ONLY A ARMS LENGTH FROM THE COLD CURB. AT THE SAME TIME WE CAN'T JUST GIVE UP BUT IF WE RUN THE MAZE FOR TOO LONG YOU HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE CHILDREN WILL BE OR WISH TO BE BECAUSE COMPUTERS ARE DOING MORE AND MORE FOR US AND WE ARE BEING DISPLACED. SO GOING TO COLLEGE, GETTING A DEGREE IN THE COMING FUTURE WILL BE USELESS. SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I FEEL FOR ANYONES FUTURE BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS HERE WE JUST HAVEN'T STOP TO SMELL THE ROSES TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING IN FACTORIES. OFFICE BUILDINGS, BUT YET THE COMPUTERS ARE STILL RUNNING.
THE SONG 'MY FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT, I GOT TO WEAR SHADES', IS ALL BUT GONE. THE FUTURE HOLDS MUCH DARKNESS AND FURTHER HOMELESSNESS. HAVE AS HOUSE ON A TWO PERSON INCOME....ONE FLAT TIRE AND YOU JUST LOST YOUR HOME. THESE HOMES ARE $700K PLUS. THINK ABOUT IT. THINGS ARE GREAT UNTIL ONE LOSES A JOB OR BECOMES DISABLED IN SOME WAY! CAUTION TO THE WIND PEOPLE! YOU ASKED FOR MORE TECHNOLOGY AND YOUR GETTING IT. THAT FRIEND YOU KNOW THE INTERNET HAS RUINED PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT YET! IT HERE AND IT'S GETTING SMARTER BY THE SECOND 24/7 365 NO BREAKS NO BITCHING, NO EXCUSES. WE ARE ALLOWING OURSELVES TO BECOME HOMELESS! WAKE UP AMERICA LIFE IS KNOCKING AT YOUR FRONT DOOR. INTERNET, COMPUTERS MADE TO MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER ALSO TAKING OUR JOBS ALONG THE WAY. GOOD LUCK PEOPLE. IT'S TOO LATE. FUTURE EQUALS BURDEN, HARDSHIP, HOMELESSNESS. IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!
GreatWhite Sharkey .says the person USING THE INTERNET
Move out of the state
Tell me 70% of the homeless people on the street actually homeless is bullshit
Needles everywhere
Then it's time for working class people to say "Enough." Nothing compels anyone to live in SF. If you're commuting hours at a time to match paycheck to rent, it's time to consider something else.
The American Dream is finished. Too many delusional assholes haven't realized that simple fact, and strive to reach the unattainable. It's going to mean a massive slide in standard of living, no chidren, no stability, none of the things USAAmeticans took for granted. End of empires are messy and horrible, but it cannot be avoided. Sorry if you believed otherwise...
Thanks for continuing coverage on this topic. I myself have a four hour round-trip commute to my job working for a Bay Area city in the mid-Peninsula where I was born and our city manager brags about how he essentially we won't pay us to be able to live in the community we serve. It's the old new norm for public employees in the area.
I was born and raised in the South Bay. I studied and worked in Early Childhood Education over a span of a decade.
I always felt weird about being a preschool teacher to the child(ren) of parents who work for all the big-name companies in the surrounding areas (Apple, Google, Netflix...), who were all the sweetest people and treated me well and gave nice gifts during holidays throughout the year, but at the same time thinking, “I can barely afford to pay rent because of the companies you work for.”
It started to feel like any job outside of the tech world weren’t valued and we were kind of pushed out. I used to think, “But I grew up here! Why do I need to leave?”
Eventually, I had to leave. First to East Bay, but didn’t work out after a month, so then to Dallas.
I actually like the city here, but had to quit teaching since I didn’t find a school/center that was a good fit. Standards aren’t as good as they were in California, but I’m still hoping I’ll find a school that has the perfect teaching job for here somewhere near here. Teaching is my passion and I miss it.
Greedy realtors and corrupt politicians are the cause but no one is calling it what it is.
teachers get a pretty good salary. theyre not even the top of their class to become one.
Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn’t pay such a high rent, let the tech nerds rot in the Bay Area!
This also shows the problem with America. Stubborn to go anywhere else because they are scared to try something else. Plenty of other schools in other states that she could live closer and comfortably.
Easier said than done. I live/work in the Bay Area and I'm stuck here for the time being. With the bills I currently have, nowhere else is going to pay me what I earn for the same type of work. I dream of moving away once I am debt free.
Hey CBS, how about doing a story on where all money from property taxes go? Detail out all the salaries of the superintendent, and all the bureaucrats all the way down to the teachers. We would love to see some transparency.
That would be investigate reporting, they don't do that anymore
Education is such a sham now, waaay too many overpaid administrators. Even worse in higher education. It's all about securing more money from the government to pay for more cushy admin positions.
Oakland to SF is a super-commute ?
She teaches at the edge of SF brother.
Trenton Paul Anywhere in the Bay Area is considered a super commute. Going to the store is a super commute
The news is lying. A super commuter is one from Sacramento to Bay Area. This woman is across the Bay.
lol Oakland to sf that’s not a super commuter wtf. I commute from Oakland to San Jose and that’s still not a super commuter
It’s like 30 miles. I commute more than 3 times as far as her for less money.
83k salary would be able to support 3k rent if it weren’t for taxes
fearlessreview Truthfully but most people don’t clue into that fact.
No. It’s not enough when rent is 4-5k a month for a small place
No one lives in a 1 bedroom 1 bath in the city unless you make a ton of money or are a couple. It’s called having roommates
@@adrianagurd The problem is that there's an artificial scarcity of affordable housing, market incentivized greed, and a lack of rent control on newly constructed mark-rate units that were built after 1995. If state bill AB 1482 - which was just signed into law - was in effect when she was still living in SF, her landlord would not have been able to hit hear with triple digit year-on-year rent increases.
If there were no taxes, where would the money for teachers salaries come from?
It's not just teachers. Its people who work hard that shouldn't have to get pushed out.
That's what I think their big picture is make everyone poor on the streets then kick them out leaving only the privileged rich in California
Sounds like a liberal agenda.
fah q that’s exactly right plus the techies and hipsters and unlimited illegals and legal immigrants moving in like crazy and you have the reason. Plus wealthy nuts who gave up big homes to live tiny ones here. That last example was a common one in the 90s

The slave class still needs a place to live. Who will serve at restaurants? Wash cars? Sweep the streets? Etc ...
Hisfavor1 No republicans run SF
Hisfavor1 can you explain why? Are there any non liberals democrats in charge of the policies being implemented?
$44 million dollars to house a 100 teacher's? Did I misunderstand that part?
OneDay4Change 444 It’s unimaginable how much money big projects like that take.
CA is super corrupt.
She will be fine.

Teachers should start at $100,000.00 out of college, they are the leaders of our children, grand children and great children.
“Rats in a Cage” we studied it in high school in the 60’s, not much new.
Maybe they should ease up on the landmark and development laws so that housing supply can meet the demand in SF.
I departed New York for this same reason. No way will I spend six hours every day driving, or 10 hours on public transportation. I cannot live in a tent behind the school or illegally in my vehicle. It’s the city’s loss. I just turned 60 and no longer possess the physical stamina to live on 3-4 hours of sleep per night. The children deserve better than a burnt out hull of a teacher. I moved to an off-grid cabin and work three days per week as a homeschooling consultant. IOW, I basically retired.
I've been pushed out of my home had to move to the Midwest (Chicago) where surprisingly prices are slowly climbing. The housing prices here in Chicago are what the East Bay was 10 years ago. I'm just waiting for this city to go up. I feel like the only affordable place to live is going to be someplace in backwoods Arkansas.
Everywhere is going up. I live in the suburbs outside of Springfield, MO and the prices are steadily going up. I’ve lived in my home for 6 years and now my house is worth 60k more than what my husband paid for it. In the last 2 years I’ve seen more and more California license plates and I’ve met a ton of people that have moved here from other states. It’s kind of scary.
As for backwoods AR even that’s gone up. You’re gonna pay 1,500/mo on a 1bd community ba anywhere that has chicken plants and seasonal pipeliners.
Traveling from Oakland to SF is not a super commute 🙄
P L i know i just did the research mission district to Berkley which is further than oakland . Its only 15 miles alway
It is with traffic. That’s why it takes so long.
If it takes 3 hours, the mileage doesn't count
Clint Scroggs super commuters travel long distances from home to work. What you’re describing is just incredibly shitty traffic. Taking three hours to travel ten miles is not a super commute.
@@chowfun1976 I guess I'm not up on the commuter lingo. She's not driving, she's riding trains and walking. Seems like a long time to me.

Send the problem to London Breed. Shes happily collecting them property tax right now.
By the way, this isn’t just happening in SF, it happens in rural America too.
you live in Oakland and have a 3 hr commute to Frisco i find that had to believe it takes 3 hrs to get across the bay

@@knucklehoagies
I see what your saying.
Tech isn't the problem. Lack of housing is the problem. The fact is, more people want to live in the city than there are housing. When this happens, the richest get the available housing. We need to build more housing so there is capacity for tech AND non-tech people to live.

I'm happy I can walk to work and be on time in 15min.😊. How many people can actually be lucky to say that
Public transit can be nice bc you don’t have to worry about parking and traffic
How is oakland to San Francisco a 3 hour commute (or even 1.5 if they are counting it as a round trip) from the way they made it sound I thought she was coming from Stockton or something
1.5 hour commute to and from work is certainly taxing! It’s time for rent controls in Amurika!
By 7am she's on the train. ..... I leave the house at 5am everyday to beat traffic to get to work.
@Nunovia Gottdamnedbizzness you obviously have no idea what teachers do. I'm sure you know someone who is a teacher. Ask them what their working hours are.
When I worked in SF I had to hit the bay bridge every day before 5:30AM to avoid traffic. Sounds to me, she has a better commute than most.
I'm a Teacher, I wish I was making 90k that's crazy
Diffrent standard of living means diffrent pay on where you live.
Some people from other countries without a college degree making 120k salary in chicago.
Down south in the greater Los Angeles area we all drive more often than not. Once your commute starts involving the 405 freeway, the 10 or other infamously crowded highways your commute will exceed 1 hour. I drove to Torrance the other day and it took me 3 hours.
Does it really take 3 hours to get from Oakland to San Francisco?
Did anyone else not notice that at 2:27 they misspelt "salaries"
Why does it take her 3 hours to get from Oakland to San Francisco
both ways
Parking is so unaffordable and traffic is horrible so between that or public transportation it takes that long
Horrible slow dense traffic everywhere. I was in Silicon Valley just a few years ago for a job interview. It was absurd, 1/2 hour to go three miles. I didn't take the job, though I liked the company and the people I met. Now, one of the executives has moved to Montana. I'm there too. You still spend time in the car, but moving, seeing scenery, not stuck.
Daren Wilson strangely it only takes me half an hour to get to San Francisco on Bart especially at how early she leaves but all valid points
its like that in LA. whats the big deal?
shes made 108K in 2018.
she will get over 100K in pension every year for life.
As a former SFUSD teacher, I want that $62K and $83K questioned. Who are they talking about? I earned $32K in 1995, but you are paid by your education, so a teacher with a PhD earned that $62K back then. This is to say, I wager most incoming teachers have only their BA's and maybe a teaching credential: what are they earning TODAY? If my suspicions are correct, San Francisco is further behind solving this problem than they think, which means they will never solve it.
This is beyond sad! When I was growing up in San Francisco I actually got to go to my teacher's house as she didn't live far from the school. She was good friends with my mother, now teachers commuting and priced out of San Francisco is pathetic.
you know its bad when you have to build special housing for teachers to live in the city. smh
Oakland to SF commute is not a super commuter. Have you not heard of people from Tracy commuting to San Jose? I even know some ppl from Sacramento commuting to SF. Now THOSE are super commuters.
There are 35,000 cities and towns in the U.S.. MOST of them more affordable to live in than SF, but people just HAVE to live there. Same with L.A. and San Diego. My crappy little house I purchased 20 miles south of L.A. back in 92 for 115,000 (I thought was outrageous at the time) has Chinese, Korean and Indian realtors coming to my door every month showing me lists of people who want to buy my home. These aren't American citizens mind you, these are people living overseas willing pay upwards of $780,000 to move into a crappy neighborhood. This is a situation caused by demand! Too many people from all over willing to live among needles, shit and "homeless" who will pay anything to do so when you could pay less than a third in other states. Ridiculous.
It's about Housing Policy! Most of San Francisco is zoned for single family homes, many with large lot requirements. That means you can't build a duplex or a triplex in those neighborhoods. The current residents don't want their ridiculously over-inflated housing values to drop, so they hold fast to large swaths of the city being single family only.
Next Problem: towns down the Peninsula (Mountain View, Cupertino) built workplaces, without anyone building any housing for the people who would work in those buildings.
They don’t have kids and schools in Oakland that need teachers?
Shes used to getting 80k a month shes not gonna go to another school and get paid 40 grand or less even though it means living in an area that would be much more affordable
@Green Giant exactly! I was going to say she probably can afford to buy her own home now instead of renting a one bedroom for a ridiculous price. Shes winning and doesn't even know it
Oakland is cheaper, still expensive but probably pays less
@@nordette it's still expensive to buy a home in her city.
Yeah, this story sucked
Dam 4 times what people needed to get by 10 years ago is low income now this must be what hyperinflation looks like
The anchorman brought up a good point at the end. If the city is expensive to the point where it’s pushing out it’s social workers (police, teachers, etc) then I can’t imagine SF being a viable place to live come the next 15-20 years. Try calling 911 and being told there isn’t anyone to answer
I am in a similar boat and support her, but Oakland to SF is not a super commute. I wish her all the best-and I will probably be in her midst on a 6:45 a.m. train. I, too, was priced out. The Bay Area has irrevocably changed in the past decade, and decent teachers were among the first to flee. Very sad.
I don't get it - Oakland to San Francisco isn't too far.
On public transport all the way across towns is long. I work in the SF marina and commute from East Oakland(Coliseum Station) and its about 2 hour commute each way
But all the time spent on public transportation to get there really adds up.
3 hours a day = 15 a week = 60 a month. That's a decent chunk of time.
@@YaowBucketHEAD A 90-minute commute is still not worthy of the evening news. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people do it every day.
With housing being so absurd in SF, the city is going to have trouble with "middle class" and working class jobs being filled.
That's one point they didn't make, but it's a reality of the city becoming some sort of elite/homeless paradise.
Nobody to do a lot of jobs that are needed to be done.
three hours, why, how, when?
That commute doesn't sound that bad.
She could also get a job in Oakland lol. I am pretty sure that the school district is hiring.
This next bubble burst will make 2008 look like a stroll on the beach 🏖... only difference is I’ll be prepared this time with cash on hand to buy everything at a major discount!
GYM STAR ENT I’m ready too
I know what she's feeling. I am a teacher commuter as well. My average commute time is 2-2.5 hours round trip and I had thoughts about moving or find a job nearby. I hope she finds the joy of time management as much as I am.
Ryan Estrada you are a hero.
In Toronto this is not rare. Almost everyone I know commutes 1 to 1.5 hours each way to either work or university. So crazy.
Oakland not that far away try Sac. or Modesto
Just lol @ Complaining at being up before 7am ... 😂 Oh the horror !
This TV station needs to proofread its on-screen graphics. I noticed at least two errors, including the misspelling of Peter Cohen's name, that were pretty obvious.
If you can't afford to live in California, move! If enough people leave the prices will come down, and, if you didn't vote for all of the crap legislators and policies you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. Come on over to the mid-west where the air is clean, there is plenty of water and living is affordable; on second thought, stay where you are and we'll continue laughing at you.
ddfred2u don’t invite people like this. They voted for this crap and will continue to vote for this crap even though they hate it.
But but buut... Where am I suppose to go..? 😭
@@mankybrains go where you feel called. Theres an idiot in every spot.
That's far from a super commuter, start your commute east of the altimont, or east of Fairfield, then say something!!
joseph walls Lots of people drive everyday from Los Banos too.
Does this teacher HAVE to teach in SF? Is there no other city to do what she does?
Teachers, firefighters, construction workers, lots of trades are facing this problem.
Lmao, I just read an article couple days ago you have to had 300k yearly income in order to buy a house in SF
Well try doing that and not even getting close to a teacher's wage. Welcome to the world of private security.
1.5 hours one way is a super commute via public transportation especially for it being 12 miles away.
It takes 2hrs to get to NYC from where I am, its about 70 miles away.
So I can imagine what a pain it is without a car.
All teachers are noble heroes.
*The 1% is making a mess out of San Francisco 💯%.*
cesarcdx don’t forget the inept and corrupt politicians.
When it said "super-commuting", i thought she was commuting from Antioch or something...
A teacher is huge to a child’s life. It’s a shame how things are developing. I’m Europe, teachers are well paid and respected.
in dallas two bedrooms and bathrooms is around $1300. Sf and other cities alike need to have a wake up call now!!
"Super"-commute? How about horror-commute
Welcome to the modern city folks, where EVERYTHING is expensive, and people have to commute."
Oakland to Mission is a 3 hour round trip commute? Since when.
i am not understanding how she is a super commuter Oakland is just across the Bay bridge?
