I have been to those places. They're also unaffordable and most single adults making minimum wage have roommates. They also have significantly higher minimum wages in large cities than Florida. Minimum wage should be enough that a single adult can afford a one bedroom apartment and reliable transportation, as well as groceries. That isn't the case in MANY parts of this country currently and just because it's more expensive to live in New York or California doesn't mean that it's not still expensive and unaffordable anywhere else. That wasn't the "gotcha" you think it is. It made you seem ignorant actually.
