Re: As usual Karl cherry picks the facts.... said by Alakar:There are also 12 states listed that show prices drops after passing statewide franchise laws. ... It looks to me from this report that there is no solid conclusion that SVF lead to lower or higher prices. In some states prices have gone up, in others they've gone down. In some cases the laws haven't been in place long enough to show what the final result will be. You misread the table. That table has all 50 states, not just the 28 that passed statewide franchising.
Of those 28 states, the only state that say a real value decrease in the price of expanded basic was Florida (-1.84%).
More telling, of the 18 states that had less than a 10% real value increase, only Florida, Virginia, Texas, Iowa and Kansas had state wide franchising. 5 of 28 with statewide franchise; 13 of 22 that did not.
