What ends up happening is all of the people you actually need to keep a society functioning can't afford to live there so they leave.

Cities end up spending a fortune in subsidies to get low wage workers back into the cities.

It's funny because everyone acts all shocked when people quit their low wage jobs. It's not that they are quitting the job. They usually are quitting a location. Why make $12 an hour where rent is $1500 a month when you can make $12 an hour where rent is $900.
