Minimum wage is not the problem as this article seems to imply. People move up from those starter jobs, they don't stay there forever.

The problem is that the politicians and local governments have enacted strict building and zoning laws which disallow for new housing construction. This, in combination with market forces has driven up the price of housing artificially fast.
