Unless increasing wages don't directly cause supply to increase overnight.

But it could cause demand to decrease. Price does not just affect supply. There would super high demand for talented Bay Area SW engineers if the going rate was $50K per year. Not so much demand if the going rate was $500K per year.

That would just move jobs/companies to cheaper areas.
