Housing should be no more than 30% of a person's income. An average apartment costs approximately $1,500/mo, per [1]. The average person is approximately 38, per [2]. Therefore by 38, a person should earn at least $60k/year.

Assume 3% annual raise, and you start working at 22. That means a starting salary of about $37.5k/year, or an hourly wage of $18/hr.

Thats a gross oversimplification that ignores things like combined incomes, inflation, and housing-cost increases outpacing even inflation, but yeah. Sure.

Minimum wage should be $100k a year and housing should be free. Money and housing are human rights.

make corporations pay a fluctuating tax that's dependent on how well they pay their workers.

Go tell those people who cling to big blue cities to move, and don't fuck it up for the rest of us. I've never payed more than a grand for an apartment in nice areas.
