You will probably just see labor intensive operations leave LA or shut down. LA proper is too small of a market to debut robotic replacements for workers. I'm guessing this will just lead to higher food service costs and the disappearance of lower margin fast food. |

There's this narrative that the left is playing up of "It'll be great, we'll kick out McDonalds!" Any industry that has low wage workers will suffer. Think the lines to return something in a retail store are long now? Wait until they have half the staff.
More than likely privatization services will move in the same way MSP's have taken over the role of well paid IT people in smaller organizations today. Mega-grocery co will eliminate ma and pa groceries because they will only be the ones with the scale of industry to have competitive prices. Boutiqe restaurants will be replaced with franchises for the same reasons. Mail/internet ordering from other jurisdictions with lower wage prices will hurt local retail.
This is neither good or bad, imo, but I don't think the people on the left are really considering what happens when you radically change wages by fiat. You get the Walmart-ization of all things because only organizations like Walmart can compete on price.
