So someone earning minimum wage should be able to live in a mansion?

  no but i guess they shouldn't be living out on the streets, i think what he meant was that the rent prices should be more regulated

    I agree that people shouldn't be living on the streets. However I'm not sure about regulating rents. If you decree that people should be able to pay $500/month for a 2 bed apartment in SF, who is actually going to provide that rental? The only possible way that will happen is if the government provides the rentals. Now, that may be a good way to do it, but it certainly won't work with private rentals - landlords will simply not bother renting at all if they're going to lose money on the deal.
