Yelp indicates there are fewer reviews coming from large California cities, which they take as an indication that economics are faltering.  Fewer reviews are indicative of fewer people going out to places that Yelp.  The blame is placed on anti-business laws in California.

Seems reasonable to me.

alternative explanation:

Relatively fewer people in California use the Yelp app.

Could be.

But why only in California and not other places?
