What in the world does this have to do with minimum wage in SeaTac?
it doesn't...this guy who is happy earning 15k a year and will get a 3/4 pension from ss is always bashing housing, education, and personal responsibility

What's that you say, I should have saved for retirement? How much do you realistically expect people to save on a $15K income?

you settle for a 15k a year job
save NOTHING
and then plan on getting a 2/3 pension when you retire (900/month is over 10k a year )
btw your contributions to ss 6%...6% of 15k is 900 A YEAR
so you think it good that you contribut 900 a year (and your employeer matches it) for you to get 900/month????? how liberal of you
is it a town not wanting slums...or is it a landloard, wanting to control what comes into his building
you have shown in the past that you are quite warped...please continue
Are you really as uninformed as you are acting here?
A number of towns and cities have enacted local ordinances setting unrelated occupancy limits lower than the occupancy limits for related persons. While these discriminatory restrictions are most common in college towns - where landlords and tenants commonly respond to limited supply and high rents by having several occupants to split the rent - they also exist in larger towns and cities including Lubbock.

??? I have never worked off the books, where did you get that idea?

have never seen such a thing...and I have lived in many states (ny,wv, tn, nc, wi, nj)
but it also makes sense...do you really thinks a 1000sf 3 bedroom apt should allow more than 6 people???
These are two separate topics, best handled with two separate debates. If we could reduce housing costs without causing deleterious side effects, why wouldn't we do it, regardless of what the minimum wage is?
Because classist middle class homeowners consider "burger flippers owning homes in my neighborhood" a deleterious side effect.

what do you want 5 to a bed??
there is no talking to you
Are you dense or just not paying attention? My issue is NOT about allowing a maximum of 6 people in a 1000sf house...my issue is If it is safe and legal for a family of 6 to live in a 1000sf house why is it unsafe and illegal for 3 unrelated individuals to live in the same 1000sf house?
