      Home prices and minimum wage not linked and linking them would cause a spiral upward in home prices, as available spending money would go up but supply would not.

          This is not happening in any way the way it would if home prices were somehow tied to wages.

          Do you really not understand that bad things can become worse things?

              More like “don’t offer suggestions that will make things demonstrably and predictably worse or someone might point out how much worse things will get”

              Not all solutions are equally valid.

              In our current situation, I can’t think of many ideas worse than “tie wages to home values” aside from maybe just burning down a fuckload of apartment buildings. It’s that bad of an idea.
