Seattle new minimum wage law will increase juvenile crime in the city

Recently Seattle has decided that people should make $15 an hour.  There city council has decided to increase the amount of juvenile crime in Seattle.  Since juveniles will not be able to work at fast food joints, grocery stores since it will be too costly to hire them.  Juveniles will only has a very costly alternative that is commit crime and mischief.  They also have decided that higher unemployment is the goal due to business shutting their doors or having less workers.  They have also decided that customer service needs to be controlled by robots.  Liberalism does not make the quality of life better it actually makes it worse just look at Detroit as an example of this. 

Having unlimited amount of permits issued actually improves the quality of cab service

When cities like Anchorage limit the amount of taxi permits in a market.  You actually do not improve the quality of service in the taxi industry.  You actually weakening it to where people will use alternative forms of transportation.  In Anchorage the way to compete with the taxi fleet has been the vehicle for hire permit method less costly.  Some vehicle for hires are shadow taxis they actually take people from place to place without a reservation.  The best example of this is the hotel shuttles.  We need to issue as many taxis as the market will allow a better quality cab industry.  Competition allow makes an industry better.
