    $7.25 x 2080 (number of working hours in a year) / 12 = $1,256 A 1 bedroom can be rented for as little as $500-$600 in my city, even less if you have roommates. (Example: $800 for a 2 bedroom means it’s only $400/person and each person gets their own bedroom) Maybe the minimum wage should be increased since it hasn’t since 2009? You keep talking about just giving people a house. Have you given your house to a homeless person? Let them have it for free? Then you could walk away and buy another house to give away to another homeless person.
