It’s not just a government run store, the products sold are being subsidized. Which is quite unfair to any small businesses/independents who have invested in the blast radius. Will they be compensated? (I’m not concerned about the large corps).
It wouldn’t surprise me if NYC saw a net reduction in grocery stores as a result.
So public money to subsidize costs of goods, and public money to subsidize costs of less efficient operations.
Is this the most effective use of public dollars?
I see NYC has incentives to open up grocery stores, good idea. Starting footprint is 5k sq feet… why so large? That would require something like an a million dollar build out… who is that incentive for?
