To the editor: I believe it’s vital to know that many years in the past, there have been far fewer fast-food eating places than there at the moment are. These are locations that usually serve comparatively unhealthy meals and parts that enchantment to most of the people, and in so doing are contributing to our weight problems and diabetes issues. (“Proposition 32 was just rejected. In blue California, why did the minimum-wage boost fail?” Nov. 19)
Now, there are an abundance of those locations that serve “what the general public desires.” Low wages helped drive this development — and created a workforce to provide the business’s labor wants.
So possibly it’s an excellent factor that greater minimal wages will damage the fast-food business. If extra of those eating places are pushed out of enterprise, individuals shall be compelled to buy and put together their very own extra healthful alternate options.

Rents have been going up even right here within the deep South since 2017, once I left my native California for work and decrease housing costs.
