Living far from where you were it is a way of life for a lot of people in the bay area but city of san mateo says that commute is costing them a lot of good Police Officers since 2013 21 officers have left the department citing that long commute a lot of people can understand it in an effort to combat this challenge though the city of san mateo has come up with an alternative housing solution. Well fortune well bellow is live in salmon tale tonight with details on this. Noel, some hope. Yes, some hope its preaty interesting. This plan ute is a officers here in t 3 quarters ic san mateo theyre doing a commute that double that so the city has decided they want to take an old fire station on the east side of town and turn it into some sleeping quarters. They say doing this will actually solve 2 problems. Ive been looking for a onebedroom apartment recently i found that rentals one but car. Those are going for 4,000 a month here.

Challenging especially doing during commute hours to go from the west to east. And so you know. Officers are going to have a step up against the criminal element because were going to already be here on the east side very most of too Law Enforcement never a bad thing. 40 per card lives across the street from the station on south nor folk. She says the idea is a winwin for having all kinds of great games around here. And so i think. St its very early stages, theres been no official approval just yet right now that building is being leased by an Ambulance Company but that lease is up at the end of the year pam and can i was asking numbers uh will this cost the taxpayers will it save this city money. A mayor told me that when they lose an officer, recruiting and training costs about a 125,000 for each new office or so they say this plan to help retain their officers is definitely the smartest planned they have live in san mateo noel bellow kron 4 news noel.
