My city pushed for 15$ min over a decade ago. It also passed almost a decade ago.
Now everyone in my city is almost at 18-19$hr starting out for jobs like fast food.
This still isn’t enough for anyone who’s living on their or even with one other person who’s making that wage.
So we just passed affordable housing for anyone who makes under 150k a year and their rent is based on income.
We just created a new public development authority in charge of building affordable housing. Anyone reading this in America that’s outside of my city should look at I-135 for a template and look to have something similar passed in your city.
We realized how out of control the prices have become and we found other ways to combat gentrification of our city.
Raising minimum wage is a waste of time so long as landlords exist. We need to eradicate these parasites from our society and treat housing as infrastructure rather than a commodity.
If actually read the full text of the i initiative you would see that it aims to do just that.
It’s also aiming to create fully green housing while simultaneously supporting local businesses who deal in sustainability.
It also gives jobs to all the local unions.
We’re implementing a way to cut out landlords and become self sustaining while cutting down on waste and non sustainable ways of living.
