Imagine going to college, getting a “degree” for a $50,000 job to barely afford a shed 😂😂😂
instead of tiny homes, why not condos or townhouses?
Kudos to the kids but how horrible for teachers. The disrespect is unreal. Glad I'm out.
This is crazy. Teachers should refuse to teach there until the city makes genuine affordable housing as in real homes. All these rich areas and unaffordable areas need to go bankrupt until they do right and get rid of draconian "zoning" to benefit the rich.
I’m glad they’re doing this, but sad they have to!
@2:18, those are little more than huts and an insult to people with no other option. Just imagine what could be done if some of the ultra rich who live in, or have property in Aspen, 'turned out their pockets' or checked 'down the back of the sofa'. Gotta love capitalism.
"If your not happy with your salary just work hard, re-train and earn more money" – some MAGA derp.
Why that !!??teachers deserve better life meanwhile endless money sent to Israel
Yet we have billions of dollars sent over to Ukraine . For all you voters are you sleeping? Or what?
Never what you should do, but at least your doing something…
Modern day slaves doing labor foe theyre slave masters
So in some states, graduating college & entering a respected profession gets you a shoebox for a home. That's sad.
The 18-956 proved the city county state's and suburban joe Biden are Rico act violators and enslavers.
Alphabet and Google and amazon and Facebook and meta and Tesla and Microsoft and apple mass produced these kits under federal contract and award.
Tiny houses and tiny homes and little houses and little homes are not affordable housing.
Tiny houses and little houses are a copyright and patent of alphabet and Google and a business plan. Federal contract and award winning and Nobel peace price and military award winning.
Google supreme court case victory,
Alphabet federal court case victory
Teachers living like transitional housing for the homeless.
Wow! I live on a rock in the Caribbean. You should see our teachers' homes!
Why do you put up with this?????
💚🙏 yahhhhhh, little dude builders…… luv it
What a dystopian horror… Like tiny homes are good for a single people in college or something as opposed to like sharing a room in apartment. A loft bed? Teachers are professionals, with a major degree, they should be paid a wage that put some solidly in the middle class. Not in a position of begging for scraps. When you see people constructing free tiny homes across the nation it's for homeless people not somebody who went to college for several years to teach your children… 😣 I can't believe they're pushing this as a good thing too… If the most homes in that area are $3 million they should be getting enough tax money to pay the teachers a higher salary. 😮💨
So these teachers have no families? No way can a family fit in the tiny homes comfortably.
Just say you're an Illegal immigrant, Biden LOVES giving free food and housing to illegals, while Americans wind up on the streets
It is profoundly sad and shameful that in the richest country in the world, teachers have to live in tiny houses about the size of a shed or a one car garage. This didn’t happen by accident. Republicans have been successfully starving public education for decades despite vigorous resistance from Democrats. Vote the Republicans out! There is so much wrong that could be corrected if only the Republicans were kicked out of Congress and the executive. The Republicans don’t care about working people. They only care about aggrandizing themselves financially, and kissing up to the obscenely rich.
This is admirable. But the backdrop surrounding the economy is straight up disgusting. Imagine that, affordable housing for the very people who educate the next generation. Is this how we value our educators and subsequently our children?
Thats cute and insulting to teachers.
This is cool that the students are building homes for teachers, but a teacher shouldn’t have to live in a tiny home. Not every teacher might want to climb up to a loft to sleep. If a teacher did want to live in a tiny home, then this would be nice, but this as the only affordable option is not great in my opinion. My brother used to be a teacher and his area is the highest inflation in the country so if he was teaching still rent would be unaffordable near him. Although it still is.
Let's see:
– build Teacher Ghettos
Or
– Pay teachers a professional's wage.
Hmmmmmmm
I lived in Aspen … 50 years ago, too cold. Hawaii is better and NEW homes are only half a mil.
Children of business majors pretend their parents aren't the scourge of humanity. Fun report.
Welcome to a debt based economic system – the greatest scourge wrought upon humanity. If you trade your time for money you are being made worth-less as a function of the moneyprinting.
Imagine teaching in America
this is so indicative of the American values system. hard working Americans deserve better, but in many ways, are trapped in an abusive relationship with their govt, corporations and the wealthy. this report is intended to (subtly) devalue and shame professional educators.
How sad 😢
Gee maybe if you guys didn’t elect people Boebert you guys would be able to pay teachers a living wage. What a pathetic and sad story.
So become a teacher and live in a shed? 😂
Imagine how wild it would be if teachers could afford actual homes
As a teacher, this is embarrassing.
Thank you for cooperating.
This is worse than a microtel. I hope this pops soon.
