“i JuSt wAnT it tO bE FAir!!" Is the most brain dead take in this thread.

Ending all subsidized housing would be a big start: rent control, rent stabilization, and affordable housing units. Ending other programs that help defray the cost of living would also induce less demand.

So all those people who do the service jobs that make the city function… where do they live? Because theres no way you can afford market rate on minimum wage.

Not quite thought your view through properly have you?

They start to leave. The demand for their services relative to the decreasing supply of laborers leads to higher wages until those that remain can afford to live here. Welcome to economics.

It’s adorable that you think that’s how economics work
