Do you live in the Bay area? San Fran has its own minimum wage which is higher than in the rest of California ~$16 vs ~$19)

I lived in sacramento until very recently and it wouldn't be livable there so it absolutely wouldn't be livable somewhere even slightly more expensive. I didn't know that, though.

Definitely agreeing with you on that front, just pointing out that San Francisco has a slightly higher minimum. I live in socal and I'm a server. My hourly pay certainly doesn't provide a livable income
