They compared minimum wage to median rent.

Why? Of course someone making the legal minimum wage can’t afford the median rent.

Median rent in SF is $2,600 [1]. That’s a pretty nice 1-bedroom in a nice part of town.

You can find single rooms to rent for less than half that. That would seem like a better benchmark than the median?

This analysis was intentionally sandbagged.
