    HOUSING: HELP FOR TEACHERS IN SAN FRANCISCO

    San Francisco is the first city planning to construct federally
    subsidized housing for its teachers (Grimes, WALL STREET JOURNAL,
    6/7). Under the plan, the San Francisco Unified School District and
    the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will build $15
    million, 43-unit rental apartment house on surplus land next to a
    school. Teachers will pay $700 a month for a one-bedroom apartment,
    compared with a market rate of $1,900, writes the paper.

    The Bay Area is notorious for its high-priced housing market, with
    the median price inching toward $500,000 - out of reach for most
    teachers. Other projects to reduce the housing burden for teachers
    are being considered in San Jose, Santa Clara school district and in
    Santa Fe, New Mexico.
