    When wages go up, so does rent.

    You’re not actually make more money. Your landlords are.

    Edit: Sad this gets downvoted, but it’s a testament to how most people are proud to be useful idiots these days.

    They just can’t see the bigger picture, lol.

      That’s not how supply and demand work at all. Otherwise why would median monthly rent in Spokane, Washington be $1395 while median rent in Coeur d’Alene across the border in Idaho is $1800, given that the minimum wage is more than double in the former compared to the latter?
