Topic	''It's expensive to live in California but jobs pay you enough to live there''

It's true that places with higher cost of living tend to have higher wages, but it's not proportional - the cost of living in these places is higher relative to wages too, rather than solely higher in absolute terms. Which is also exactly why I'm not much of a supporter of pushing up the minimum wage. I 100% agree there's a problem, but for this exact reason I believe it needs to be looked at through a lens of "how can we bring the costs of living down" rather than "let's just bump up minimum wage again, maybe THIS time it'll achieve what we want it to". California is a huge problem for minimum wage. It's huge, diverse, and goes through areas where the ultra rich live and areas where the ultra poor/ghettos are. $15 isn't enough in the bay/LA/San Diego/San Francisco, but $15 is huge in the desserts. Honestly Cyberpunk2077 may have it right: split California in two like the decotas. --- https://www.twitch.tv/mattthehat I stream Beat Saber Monday-Friday at midnight PST!
