> Seattle used to have good food at reasonable prices. The extreme increase in costs, much of which is self-inflicted,

I'm curious about the self-inflicted part. How was it self-inflicted?

Unique to us, we have anomalously high minimum wages and a specific driver fairness pay law that makes for eye-watering delivery costs. This is on top of all of SF's problems w/ density, zoning, pricing out cheap indie spaces and the artist class that would put things in them, etc.

Tarrifs have affected the cost of inputs.
