Teachers will now be able to live and work under one roof [View all]

This visionary venture by Miami-Dade County Public Schools promises to be a shining beacon of hope for future redevelopment projects across the nation.

Raul Perez — the chief facilities, design and construction officer for Miami-Dade County Public Schools — is the brain behind this project. He tells Local 10, “What you are looking at here is a very unique collaboration between Miami-Dade County, public housing, and community development, and the school district.” A vacant piece of prime property has been transformed into a haven for education and housing.


While I see a few merits in this, it seems like another way to pay teachers less than a living wage. A one-bedroom, 600 sq ft apartment is only suitable for single people with no kids, and probably with no pets. I saw no mention of what the rent would be. And what fun for them to live in the same place that they spend their workday. No excuses now for having a real life, I guess.
