Why would minimum be set on the median?

There's a couple ways answer your question. First, look up the definition of median versus an average that explains why I used median for rent.

The advice given to us by the same people that suppress wages and use financial engineering to increase in the quality tell us to spend no more than one third of our gross income on housing. Since housing costs are out of our control, it should be what determines the minimum wage.

what did I miss? :-)

You missed explaining how what the median rent is affects how much the minimum wage should be
