6:12 pm
catch-up. >> here with a little bit more on what's being done to solve this problem. >> and you know what i hear from people all the time? how did this happen? i'm going to tell you about new york city. new york city has always been really expensive so that city new to start building affordable housing for teachers a long time ago. san francisco has always been pricey but in the last ten, five years maybe it has become unaffordable, unreasonable. and we were not prepared. >> we can't afford a home here. we're in a one bedroom apartment. >> a teacher shares that one bedroom apartment with her husband and two children. like many teachers in san francisco moving to a larger home is not economically possible. >> people are leaving all the time, and i'm considering moving out of the city right now to find something more affordable. >> the average teacher's salary in san francisco after implementing proposition g is
6:13 pm
$82,000 a year. and it's not uncommon for them to spend 50%, even 75% of their salary on rent. >> in new york city they have built tall high rises for teachers to live in, 40 or 50 years ago. >> san francisco is just now responding to that need. the in the sunset district will soon be torn down to be made exclusively for teachers and employees. when completed it will be a 130 unit building. >> yes, we are playing catch-up. >> kate with the department of housing and community development. the school district is putting up the land and the city the funds. here's what they'll go for, a studio $800. a one bedroom in the $100,000 range. two bedrooms between $1500 and
6:14 pm
$1700. these prices are well below the current market rates. >> a two bedroom in san francisco averages $8,500 a month. a three bedroom is hard to find first of all. these prices will really make a difference for our teachers. >> but the units won't be available until 2022. city politics is one reason why teachers have been left behind. even the teachers themselves 15 years ago had not warmed up to the idea of living in close proximity to other teachers. take diane feinstein elementary in the sunset district. constructed in 2005 there were plans to build an underground parking garage and a 45 unit building for teachers in the back of the school, an innovative idea. >> so during the day when the teachers who lived there went to work, the teachers who taught there would be able to use the parking garage. we thought that was great. >> even the federal government
6:15 pm
through hud was enthusiastic and ready to help, but the community and then supervisor lelan lee opposed it. >> they said oh, it's a public housing project. never let hud get involved. you know, it will be a slum. >> the community later said it had made a mistake and the teachers got nothing. still today there are other possibilities. take this dog park on 7th avenue and lotten owned by the school district. a 2016 bill authored by then state senator mark leno now allows districts to use surplus land to build housing, something they couldn't do before. >> to some extent we're taking it one building at a time especially for this first building to make sure that we do it right and that we take the lessons learned from this project before we contemplate, you know, further projects. >> reporter: the hope now is that the teachers will stick around long enough to see the district and the city do the right thing. >> we have to address this really, you know, quickly, i think. faster, yeah.
6:16 pm
waiting is not the solution. >> it's not great. another argument by staying in san francisco, teachers are able to spend more time with students after school to help them with their work. that's what we want. that all goes away the moment they move and spend hours commuting. and this is an investment in our children. truly you want those teachers to be here. >> and it's sad those teachers they really want to teach. they want to help the kids. >> that's right. and they want to stay here. it's a community. >> what's a little unnerving though is a teacher said if we don't exact quickly they get further and further behind with each passing year and more and more teachers leave in the end. >> that's right. and it's happening in san francisco in general not only with teachers. well, all week long abc 7 news is exploring the teacher crisis as part of our continuing commitment to building a better bay area. join the conversation by adding the #better bay area to our posts on twitter and facebook.

6:19 pm
strong gusty wind. later in the afternoon the rain becomes more widespread and in the evening hours it become a lot heavier. notice these areas of dark orange and red representing the heaviest steadiest downpours and continuing through the late night hours before sweeping over the bay area and right into the central valley. rainfall potential will range from just over half an inch in the south bay to just about an inch here in san francisco, maybe an inch and a quarter in richmond. and up in the north bay many locations will see over 2 inches, maybe over 2 inches of rain. and let's talk about those wind gusts. 8:00 tomorrow night gusts will range from 45 to 50 miles per hour generally. and taper up going into thursday morning. although winds won't be quite so strong as they were on wednesday, we'll see gusts from 25 to 35 miles per hour at that time. storm concerns are very high tomorrow. moderate concerns for power lines going down.
