Where did you get that estimate?
The congressional budget office.

Where did you get yours?
Everyone claimed seattle would take a nose dive as they raised their minimum.
Now it's the fastest growing city in america

Minimum raised all boats.
Your stuff comes from paid prediction from think tanks.
Once the minimum is raised everyone shuts up about it. They don't call for a decrease.
Strange that?
There are many factors to the success of a city, and laying it on one is dubious at best.
So, you found a local news network that says some of the words that you want to hear, ok.
Then you attack the source of the presented cited information without addressing the content.
Then some empty phrase without content to support.
Finally you ask me a question to divert from the point of our exchange. To answer your question, it's not a winning strategy to advocate for less money in paychecks, even if it is the financial better choice, because most people don't understand the concept of purchasing power. Basically, it's political suicide, so we slide faster towards unsustainable inflation rather than have hard conversations that allows us to avoid economic crisis.
Again, where did you get the numbers you presented in your first post?
Funny when my state raised the min wage. The prices every where increased. Me who already made more than min wage didnt get a raise. So just a price increase for me. Fuck you. Min wage is for kids, you are not suppose to raise a family at min wage. If min wage isnt enough for you. Well its easy FIND A NEW JOB.
Edit: Whats funny the people who did get a raise, now have to buy with higher prices like me. Making there wage increase worethless.
