Like I said previously, Teachers salaries in SF aren't even at question in the cited article. A custodian employed by sf makes an average of 92k [1] vs an average teacher in SF makes 75.6k [2].

But I can still simultaneously believe teachers are underpaid and at the same think they aren't entitled to multi-million dollar homes.

Does the question substantially change if you replace teacher with custodian? Should custodians be able to afford the community they work in?

If you'll pay me 150k to be a custodian again or however much to afford to purchase a million dollar home I'll take it in a heart beat. You probably haven't but I've actually been a custodian, and besides the pay I found it much a more enjoyable experience than working in tech.
