The cost of a 2 bedroom apartment always costs what someone working for minimum wage makes plus $100.

It doesn’t, though; it’s way more. You are so out-of-touch…

If you raise minimum wage, the price of rent just goes up

That’s not how that works. Landlords and property managers can ask for more, but it doesn’t mean they’ll get it. What would happen is people would have more money for literally everything but rent and the economy as a whole would improve. I don’t work for minimum wage, yet raising it would benefit me, along with everyone else. It hasn’t even come close to keeping pace with inflation.
