A state appeals court upheld a San Francisco ordinance Wednesday that protects teachers, other school staff and child care center employees from evictions during the school year, reversing a judge's ruling that struck down the law.
The measure, approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors, took effect in April 2016. It prohibited most no-fault evictions against school employees during the academic year, requiring landlords to wait until summer. It also barred such evictions of families with children under 18, who were already protected by an ordinance passed in 2010.
Supporters of the law said most teachers and other school employees could no longer afford to live in the city.
in 2016 found that a teacher with an income of $65,240 a year, the school district average, would have to pay nearly two-thirds of his or her income for a one-bedroom apartment in the city at the median rent of $3,500 a month.

Why can't the highest paid teachers in the country pay their rent, or is that a taboo question?
There's a market opportunity there for school teacher dormitories.
10:14 Really? I'm bet land to build dormitories is cheap and the cost of building in CA with earthquake codes is low too.
If a family with kids in school stop paying the rent in september they can't be evicted until june? Man there a lot of people in the Bury that would love that.
