> Meanwhile the homeless situation in Seattle is getting progressively worse. With the increase in minimum wage, some people are paid more, but at the expense of some poor people not being able to acquire a job at all.

Without an increase in minimum wage, people with a minimum wage job will still be homeless.

With an increase to minimum wages, the housing price will increase and they'll still be homeless.

We could argue that the increase may also impact people who earned more, the one at the limit won't be able to afford their places anymore and will become homeless.
