According to the logic of liberals, the local minimum wage in San Francisco should be increased to $74.40 per hour

“Affordable” housing is defined by the government as that which does not cost more than 30% of a person’s income.

Source: https://www.census.gov/housing/census/publications/who-can-afford.pdf

In 2019, the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco was $3,720 per month.

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/01/san-francisco-one-bedroom-rent-price-drops-11point8percent-in-june-zumper.html

If a person works 2,000 hours per week, then according to the math, they would need to earn a minimum of $74.40 per hour in order for the average one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco to considered “affordable.”

Therefore, according to the logic of liberals, the local minimum wage in San Francisco should be increased to $74.40 per hour.

when wages go up, the price of services goes up, from fast food to rent to property taxes to income taxes.

Who does this hurt the most? Those on fixed incomes - the indigent and social security recipients.

America would be much better off increasing social security benefits and leaving the minimum wage a function of supply and demand.

So from a fiscal point of view you should delete your stupid blog and go be a goober smoocher in San Francisco.

It's not like you have no experience.

“’Affordable’ housing is defined by the government as that which does not cost more than 30% of a person’s income.”

That’s an outdated standard from around 1950.

One pays more for a mink coat than a cloth coat and one pays more for a BMW than a Chevy.

Glamour locales like San Francisco and parts of New York City are luxuries.

Where does the help live you might ask?

Elsewhere. Say Richmond, CA and Newark, NJ.

Rent is affordable if it can be paid by the 7th of the month.

I have experience in the matter.

Long ago, retail workers might have worked 60 hours a week.

A lower rate of pay was partially compensated for by working more hours.

This appears to be in keeping with the San Fransicko Inclusionary Housing program. It's the only fair thing to do . I sincerely hope this receives the full attention of mayor:

London Breed ( probable, future VP or POTUS)...Maybe sarcasm and maybe not...

“If a person works 2,000 hours per week”

That’s a bit exhausting...
