Yeah if you pair it with the average house price it's not great https://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/housing-affordability/124410237/wellington-citys-average-house-value-exceeds-1-million-and-the-rest-of-the-region-isnt-far-behind https://i.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/housing-affordability... Despite my comment I like life here. I wasn't really trying to give more than a data point from another part of the world. My personal view is that a strong enough economy should be able to provide most people with a better than minimum wage job. But if you bump the minimum wage too high you simply raise the price of everything.
