why Bay Area cities wouldn't do that? How much pricier our coffee/burritos would get here so that we stop buying them thus making the minimum wage increase a "job killer"? I think even making it $30/hour people here would hardly notice it.
Actually, San Francisco and San Jose both have laws increasing the minimum wage. Richmond also just passed an ordinance in March to raise it to $12.30 by 2017, which will be the highest minimum wage in CA.
