    Average in the US for a 2 bedroom is $1317 per statista.

    Triple that for a monthly income = $3951

    x12 for annual = $47,412

    /2080 for hourly full time = $22.79/hr

    A 1 bedroom (or 2br with a $200/mo UBI) at $1100ish brings the minimum to $19ish.

    A 2 bedroom but working 60hrs/week or using 50% of income on rent instead of 33% is around $15/hr.

    Just trying to play around with the numbers to see what a real political proposal might look like. Feels great to meme a declaration, people start disagreeing when you start putting numbers to it.
