I’m kind of interested in the municipal grocery store idea. Is it because of a lack of grocery stores or price gouging that he’s making it one of his promises?
I don’t know what Zohran’s rhetoric is (don’t live in New York and have only seen what’s posted here) but for me it’s both. Public markets would be the sister of public housing: increasing supply while eschewing profit, forcing commercial groceries to lower prices to compete. The ideal would be to force corporations out of the city and have the city buy their old buildings.
