First impression: your site claims that $15/hr is a living wage in a major city, when in Seattle you'll be spending at least half that on an apartment anywhere

  Users submit the reports, you should vote that one down or reply in the comments with some evidence if you disagree. I actually don't like the fact that it's a controversial site by nature because I generally try to avoid controversial stuff. If the site ever took off I'd have to figure out how to do moderation/employ fact checkers, etc. I stopped working on it for many reasons including that one, but I think there's some potential for the idea. It's pretty similar to what Elon Musk was suggesting (pravduh or whatever). I think he stopped working on his too actually, but I haven't been following it. BTW I just looked - here's some data http://livingwage.mit.edu/metros/42660 http://livingwage.mit.edu/metros/42660 and you're right, the housing cost is roughly half I'm not saying I endorse that data though.
