    $15 an hour would be considered progress not perfection

    when has the US moved forward more than a baby step if that in the last half century? and we just lost most of that progress we did make in the last fifteen years

      That wasn’t my point. The point is to not let lack of progress in one area detract from progress in another. I agree that the minimum wage is way too low, but that shouldn’t influence an attempt to cap rent increases.

      Obviously, both is better, but 1 is still progress and better than 0. If we don’t celebrate progress, we’ll never get better.
