No, it doesn’t lessen the rhetorical impact one bit. The statement isn’t about CA state law, San Fransisco enacted a municipal minimum wage in 2014 that is higher than bot the federal and CA state minimum wages. the two other cities mentioned Seattle WA and Los Angeles CA also have municipal minimum wages these municipal minimums $15, are more than 50% higher than the relevant state minimums and double the federal minimum.

It’s the municipal minimums that drive the decision to not expand in those cities

While it’s true that these stores aren’t right there in the middle of the city, it’s not like there’s only a single BWW in all of Northern California.

And it doesn’t change the basic point, but it does somewhat lessen the rhetorical impact.
