In my opinion, the problem is that for the past 50 years, we spent all our time to build beautiful subburbs and parking lots. The city has not expanded as much as it should have been and now, we reap the consequences of unsustainable cities.

Subburbs exists because the city generate a lot of wealth and yet, for some reason, we keep building big box store, big parking lots and single family houses.

I don't think the solution is to build more or raise the minimum wage. The solution is to make the city denser and probably bulldoze the fuck out of the subburbs to actually make cities that have a high value per acres.
