Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made his choice for the site of New York City's first city-run grocery store.
Government can work for people! We do not have to accept food deserts and price gouging. We can have the things we need to live lives of comfort and dignity, if we rid ourselves of the politics of the past! Looking forward to seeing my neighbors at the grocery store!

Critics speak out against Mamdani's plan for New York City-run grocery stores
abc7ny.com
... Critics are speaking out after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a plan for city-run grocery stores - a key campaign promise.
Mamdani says the first store could open as soon as next year in East Harlem with the goal of additional stores in the other four boroughs by the end of his term.
He says the stores are meant to make food more affordable, but bodega owners warn they could hurt private businesses.
On Monday, residents in East Harlem said a city-run supermarket would make their lives easier by making groceries more affordable.
"They need somewhere convenient so people could go and say, 'Yes, I can buy, you know, this and that,' and still have money for the next couple of weeks to buy some more food," a resident said. "But that'd be a great idea here."
On Sunday night, Mayor Mamdani marked 100 days in office by doubling down on a campaign promise to open a series of five stores in the coming years.
"The first one will open next year, stores where prices are fair, where workers are treated with dignity, and where New Yorkers can actually afford to shop at our stores," Mamdani said. "Eggs will be cheaper. Bread will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation."
It begins with the La Marqueta site beneath the elevated rail line on Park Avenue in East Harlem.
"Now, some will insist that city-owned businesses do not work, the government cannot keep up with corporations," Mamdani said. "My answer to them is simple. I look forward to the competition."
Critics say city-run supermarkets will hurt ordinary bodega owners and could even produce chaotic lines for cheaper groceries.
"These stores are going to get jam packed, they're only four or five in the entire city of 8 million people," said Fernando Mateo with United Bodegas of America. "What do you expect is going to happen? You're going to have people rushing to these stores early in the morning to late at night, waiting on long lines. You know, it's going to be more turmoil than anything else. It's a great punch line for him and for the socialist movement. But New York is not a socialist city." ...

This thread really separates the men from the boys when it comes to understanding what a government-run store is!
Case in point:
Profit/loss doesn't matter when it's taxpayer money. Just power and coercion.

Islamophobes and phony Democrats hate NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) because the Muslim is delivering as promised.
This 9,000 foot square facility will be built from the ground up and will also provide construction jobs for New Yorkers.
Our Bronx HS of Science graduated had a "scheduling conflict" and stayed away from a recent public event that US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attended.
Like Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky avoided Benjamin Netanyahu during his surprise Middle East tour, Mayor Mamdani did not want to be photographed with an abettor of ethnic cleansing.
