I guess because I taught in a public school here in Lancaster County where rents, costs of living, and real estate isn't crazy over-the-top like some places, this is something I never thought about:

 Why US cities are building homes for teachers

Inspired by the success of a 70-unit teachers-only apartment complex in Silicon Valley, other school districts in high cost-of-living areas are buying or building rent-subsidized apartments as a way to attract teachers.

I'm not sure what to think about this.  It's great that some affluent areas and cities are trying to keep good teachers, but on the other hand, I think it's sad they don't pay them enough to live in the community where they work.
