You're such a bullshit liar, as usual.
Rent in or area alone has gone up over $1k a month total over the last 10 years, and that's just rent. Apartments here that went for $1,600 a month 10 years ago are now $2,600 a month, or more.
So as a minimum wage worker over the last 10 years here you'd have to make $100 more a month, each year, the last 10 years, in wages to keep up with just the rent increases. As a minimum wage worker you'd have to be making $1,000 more a month now to be living in the same apartment that you lived in 10 years ago.
The cost of living has increased a hell of a lot the last 10 years and wages have been stagnant.
