Doesn't the Bay Area have its own unique real estate/housing problem? I don't think that's something a federal minimum wage can or should address. I'm not convinced that I should be able to make $30/hour at any job in Iowa because of real estate prices in California or New York – but I do think people in Iowa should be guaranteed enough to buy their own homes with 40 hours per week.

Just to note, I am a tech person living out here! I run my own software business, and used to work as a dev for local and remote companies before that.
