So a young married couple should be able to live anywhere if they’re frugal and serious about building careers. I guess that is a big if though.

Married couples have an advantage, but clearly two minimum wage people together still cannot afford to live in most of these cities.

I am sure there is a non-political formula to determine the necessary minimum wage for any community or region and the minimum wage should be automatically set accordingly. Yes, if it turns out to be $25 per hour, so be it. Things will balance out in the long run. We need to do this for our youth, for our nation. Otherwise, we keep growing a larger and larger number of people that cannot support themselves legally, who won't have a good future, who will become a lifelong drag on the nation.
