It was pointed out to our legislators this would cause poverty to explode just as it had in Colorado liberal communities that had adopted it but this was chalked up as collateral damage, and necessary to prevent our government from going bankrupt.
 You could buy  starter home earning the federal minimum wage...and rise to entry level middle class through an equity building mortgage...tiny houses are section 8 rentals where no one gets ahead.
 Right now we could be building affordable starter homes that lift the poor to middle class, that can be purchased earning the federal minimum wage thank to historic low interest rates, but HDP has outlawed them. I find that sick and socially demented.
