Most fast food workers in California would get a $20 minimum wage next year — a nearly $5 per hour raise — under a deal announced Monday between labor unions and the industry that will avoid a costly referendum on the November 2024 ballot.
Willingness has nothing to do with it. People need housing, it’s a necessity not a luxury.
As for ability, have you noticed the housing market? Prices are already wildly in excess of what many Americans can afford at all.
The whole point is that anyone who puts in their 40-50 hrs a week should be able to live in safety and dignity. That’s largely not possible on minimum wage right now.
You’re here to argue, but you don’t understand what you’re arguing about. There is no value in trying to explain something to the unwilling when they’re just going to spin in circles until they think they’re right.
My guy, are you stupid of a shill working for some disinformation company? Have you ever heard of the 90’s dotcom bubble? Have you ever heard of the Dutch Tulip mania?
Capitalism doesn’t care about reality, only about maximizing apparent profits.
Prices go up according to whatever they can get. (Also, leaving it empty isn’t necessarily bad for them either because they can often write it off, which is bullshit. They should have to pay extra for empty units.)
That’s not how rent works.
Yeah. Prices don’t go up according to what people are willing and able to pay.
My bad.

Hmm… Then how do people keep paying for it?
If you’re selling a product people can’t afford, how are you making money? Who is buying it?

The homelessness crisis is out of control, so I’d say lots of people have given up trying to pay for something they cannot afford.
They aren’t continuing to pay for it. Why do you think the homelessness crisis is so bad in the highest CoL locations?
There’s always someone with more money, but there isn’t always housing for those that get priced out.

Yeah, I was just saying the opposite of what is true so people can see how stupid it sounds.
