San Francisco announces free community college for all residents
Source: USA Today
San Franciscos mayor announced Monday that the city would make college education free to all of its residents through the City College of San Francisco.
The initiative, made possible through a tax on properties sold for at least $5 million, is expected to begin next fall.
"To California residents who are living in San Francisco, your community college is now free," Mayor Ed Lee said.
Any San Franciscan who's lived in the city for at least a full year will be eligible, regardless of income, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Supervisor Jane Kim likened the agreement to public schooling for K-12 students, saying that City College would be free to all, too.

(20,878 posts)It became a rich man's town and the locals couldn't hang-on any longer. We left but, we are still in California.
So, now the rich rich rich man's town is all that is left for We the Natives and if you aren't one of them, well you had to high tail it out of town as who can afford to pay $4K a month for a one bedroom apt. these days?
Sad. Very sad.
