There are skills that are very valuable in society that pay very little. For example, maybe a software engineer gets married and has kids. Those kids go to school so the software engineer can go to work all day. The teachers and school staff are most likely getting paid way less than the engineer. Then one of those kids ends up with a mental health disorder or drug addiction. They see a social worker who helps them and gets paid much less than the engineer.
Then on the weekends the engineer wants to have fun with her family and goes out to eat at a fast food place, gets a lawn service so they don't need to do their own yardwork. Those people may be getting paid minimum wage.
So these people who are making the lifestyle you have possible, should not be allowed to afford a place to live because what they do is not valuable? Is that what you're saying?

People will get paid what the market will bear. Supply and demand and all of that. There is no "should", it doesn't enter the equation and as you can see with minimum wage, any attempt to out smart the market will result in inflation/deflation...
