That lifestyle as a teacher is probably only desirable or realistic for the young. Once you want to settle down/have kids/whatever, you probably want to either buy a house, or not compromise quite so much. Does that mean that SF will have only young teachers? Most the experienced ones will move somewhere more affordable. Is that a problem for the city?

Or, all the teachers marry high-income partners and can thereby afford to continue living there.

~~I'm trying to find an article I'm sure I've seen on HN of marriages mapped by occupation. I'll edit if I can find it, but I believe I remember that teachers tended to "marry up".~~

EDIT: et-al found the link I was looking for. However, it doesn't seem to support my memory of teachers "marrying up".

Was it this interactive chart by Bloomberg?

YES! Thank you. I found another article on Bloomberg, but it was not this one. However, it doesn't seem to be support my memory of "marrying up".

Young people come here for a temporary period and then leave. Only the ones become affluent enough stay.
