Local teachers struggle with the rising cost of housing
Educators are being squeezed out of the local housing market by the high cost of living
|
Steffanie Lynott didn't plant anything in her garden this spring. Instead, she packed boxes. The second-grade teacher at St. Mary's School in Los Gatos had to move out of the Los Gatos home she was renting because it was sold to cover estate taxes. The only reason Lynott could afford the monthly rent on her teacher's salary was that the home was owned by her aunt, Jane Summers, who kept the rent low. After Summers passed away--which ultimately forced the sale of the property--Lynott found herself in a dilemma facing many local educators: the cost of living in Los Gatos and Saratoga is forcing many of them to either live together, commute from other communities, or leave to find employment in more affordable areas.
