If you could fix one issue in your community what would it be? I would make sure everyone in my community had clean drinking water.

I would make sure everyone had a livable wage! Here in San Antonio there are lots of low wage, part time jobs but the cost of rent is horrendous!

Pay stays the same but rent goes up. This seems to be an issue in too many places.

Increase pay while offering tax incentives to property owners to keep rent or sales prices at an affordable level.

Has that worked in the past? When I was here in 1997 the wage was low and it was blamed on the fact lots of military retire here and have good pensions so don't mind low wage. I didn't like it then and don't like it now!

From what I can tell nothing as of yet as really helped. If anything housing as gotten worse and wages for the country are still low. California has raised its wages but the cost of living in some areas is ridiculously high.

I've heard for 40 years that raising the wage doesn't help because then stuff just raises too. The problem is stuff raises constantly without wage increases. And people don't get the ability to feel good about their wage!

I've looked at research into raising wages and it does not have any negative effects according to the study. When prices go up and wages do not, something needs to change.
