That’s kinda why I suggested the average rent as an index, since unless we do some Nordic style price adjustment control that limits how much prices can go up in a year or such, that will probably be the best indicator of the actual inflation that the average consumer is experiencing in any given year.
How about whichever is higher? I feel like circumstances could lead to either causing wages to be lower than they would be if pegged to the other instead.

If some clown wants to charge $3B for rent in a hovel in the backstreets of Idaho, mean rent might not make a lot of sense.
