A public schoolteacher in San Francisco needs to make 30,000 a year more than they are getting paid now just to be above the poverty level. Maybe it's bad for the teachers and other people not in tech if there are that many people running around spending tons of money.

But it's not a question. Most people in SF (let alone those who commute in) do not work for tech companies.

Edit: Teachers need to make 25,000 a year more to no longer qualify for need-based government aid. Not 30,000.

Note that, if prop 13 were repealed, teachers could be paid more and many houses would become available for purchase for less than current prices.
