Given all their ~prestige~ it's not like they have a shortage of interested students. And for the grad students, having a degree from Stanford is a big plus. I'm guessing that's why Stanford has no incentive to do anything.

It's also another way to make sure people who have a degree from Stanford, and thus preferential hiring for a lot of jobs, are The Right Kind of People from Good Families.

But plenty of Stanford’s money comes from charging overhead on grants to professors and scientists. Those overhead rates get negotiated with whoever is funding the grants, but Stanford sets what to pay grad students (and charges them rent, too). At the moment, professors are starting to run into a problem that grad pay + overhead > grant money, so they can’t afford to hire graduate students without some other source of money. Sooner or later Stanford itself is going to need a housing crash.

the used trailers in Florida used to go for like 5-20K. then folks started selling them as if they were houses with an owned lot. one can get a brand new double wide for 50-100k. in some cases in these trailer parks the value of the home is the desirability of the lot, which the seller does not own . it’s goddamn crazy.

Yeah, but they're essentially squatting on that land, so you're bribing them to move off the lot. I don't think it's just a Florida thing necessarily, it occurs anywhere that trailer parks might attract more than the poorest buyers. There's a trailer park on the main commercial drag in my city and buying a house there will absolutely cost you a lot more than the cost of a new double-wide, but the cheapest non-manufactured homes here will cost you a minimum of $300k for something that's probably perilously close to being a teardown. When my friend's mom sold her house in that lot back in 2018 she sold it to a couple in their thirties that almost certainly had more than $100k combined income.

Former industrial land in the city is built over with housing, often without remediation. All prime residential real estate was already built on decades ago. I researched that stuff while shopping for a house, and basically anything built in the last 10 years in my city was on undesirable land (flooding, next to a highway, soil 20% asbestos by weight, etc).

Twerk from Home posted:The slums of the future are not going to be big towers, those were the slums of the past. The American slums of the future are leaky tract houses on quarter acre lots an hour out of town. In much of the city here, the minimum lot size to build new construction post dates existing construction on smaller than minimum lots. So in some neighborhoods, if a house is torn down, nothing can be built on the newly vacant lot until an adjacent lot is also cleared. Very good and smart zoning.

Most of the city's neighborhoods were separate boroughs that were annexed into the city at some point until the state passed a law banning annexation in "second class cities" (just this one) in 1907, so the city's zoning laws just got applied over top of what was already there.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:My sister-in-law is a mid-career primary school teacher making $42K, teachers get hosed pretty bad in most of the country. When I started teaching in Texas around 10 years ago I made $38k my first year and it was only that high because I was a science teacher. A first year English teacher would have made $34k. It was a rural district so I was actually commuting out to the countryside. Urban districts are higher. I think this year specifically a lot of them are around $50-55K starting. They don’t pay poo poo for experience though. A teacher with 30+ years of experience would make $60K. Even at $60K you can’t actually afford a house in the district that is paying you that much. It also only that high because people are leaving teaching in droves. Also, in Texas it is illegal for a school district to negotiate with a teacher’s union. So you could potentially have a teacher couple making a combined $100k a year (before taxes of course, and insurance. Our family insurance was several hundred a month and didn’t cover jack poo poo) but it still sucks. Even when you make a little money everything was insanely expensive. Also teaching loving sucks. I drank a bottle of wine nearly every night my first year. I honestly don’t think you could pay me to go back as it is.

I mean, you can do decently as a public school teacher, in the most expensive city in the country, if you have a masters degree and many years of experience. And if we cherry pick the very top of the salary scale and sort descending. $100k+ for working 9 months of the year with presumably a pension for retirement sounds pretty good. Personally I believe that public servants should be well paid and rewarded, especially as society crumbles and the state takes on more responsibility of raising children via school. If your district is not moneyed then have fun I guess. I could not do those jobs even if they paid millions so I support teachers/librarians/food service workers/drivers/etc. https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?a=school-districts%2Fsan-francisco%2Fsan-francisco-unified&q=librarian&y=2020&s=-gross
