Each had a convent on or next to the school grounds for its ill-paid nuns.

Maybe they'll also provide peanut butter sandwiches for teachers so they don't have to pay them enough to buy food either.

But why does this sound like something out of a Soviet wet dream?

for not being available 24/7/365.

... nice retrograde back to the 1850s... so much easier than actually paying them what they are worth and then charging rent for the privilege of teaching their spawn.

From what I can tell, this is an option, not a requirement of employment.

Compared to commuting from an hour away, this is a great option for those who want a sustainable car-free life, provided services are not too far away and/or transit is available.

600 SF is 50% larger than my one-bedroom condo, which I love!

seen as positive since you can't afford to live in San Diego if you earn a teacher's salary. This is being done to help teachers stay in the area instead of moving to a more affordable location. Teaching sucks more than ever and it just isn't the well known shitty salary. To keep teachers here they are offering housing that is affordable.

"A recent report from the National Council on Teacher Quality found that typical homeownership costs in the city are 44% of an experienced teacher's salary."
"San Diego Unified is ranked as the third least affordable school district in the country for new teachers looking to rent one bedroom homes, which come with a $2,500 monthly price tag on average in the city.
And it could take local teachers 25 years to save for a 20% down payment on a home, per the report."
