    $18-23/hr is still too little to afford rent in all 50 states. Buying a house is not even an option.

        Yes but more importantly we need minimum wage to keep up with the cost of living beyond just housing. Minimum wage should be closer to $30/hr.

          Houses need to have a fixed increase so they stop being quick investments. Owners should be penalized for renting and flipping. While I agree people need to be able to afford to live, the cost of living will always go up, and the struggle to pass minimum wage laws will always be a problem.
