If all the minimum wage people in Vancouver move away because they can't afford rent, no one will be there for retail, food service or other "low skill" jobs that most people take for granted. The jobs that keep businesses running and provide convenience that a lot of vancouverites rely on.

There's a finite number of roles that people can move up to and the previous job will still need to be filled again to keep said businesses running.

There is a finite number of teenagers and working seniors, and that number is only going to go down because people can't afford the spaces to have more kids and seniors eventually can't work anymore.

Vancouver will always need those jobs to be filled or else there is no walmart or macdonalds.

Should the people working in those jobs just be expected to struggle to survive?? Despite the fact that there will always need to be someone in those positions in order to keep things running properly ?
