i.e you want to remove the word "can" and remove a comma.

I disagree with this being an improvement. The text is trying to
convey that it's more efficient to put the "city" qual in the WHERE
clause, even though it technically *could* go in the HAVING clause. If
you remove "can" then that makes it sound more like putting it in the
HAVING clause is invalid. It's not. The text explains it's just more
efficient to filter before grouping.
