Link local minimum wage to three times median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment, then. Solve both problems! :)
(EDIT: assuming you have policy to maintain full employment…)

I've never understood why working the most entry level job should afford you a midrange 2br. Why not link minimum wage to 3x rent for an entry level apartment?
