    There was a study a few years back showing that there isn’t a county in the country where full-time minimum wage could pay for a 1br apartment and basic necessities.

    That should be the bare minimum. A full-time worker should be able to live within a reasonable proximity to their place of employment. I make 80 grand and have to drive 90 minutes to work.
