Mamdani’s plan is to have one store per burrow. There’s too many people in each burrow to be serviced by a single grocery store. The rest of the stores will still have massive overflow demand.
Also, there is more ways than just cost to for grocery stores to compete. Theres the type of products that grocery stores can sell. Theres quality of product that stores can compete with. They can do some hybrid of the three as a way to partially cut prices but in a way to maintain profits.
That’s basically what they are going to do. People will line up outside the store before it opens, buy everything cheap, and then it will run out. If a person struggling financially has to work that morning, tough luck. They’ll be buying their goods somewhere where it costs more but their taxes helped subsidize someone else’s food.
Personally I don’t truly care. I’m not anywhere close to NYC. Let them do as much of this stuff as they want to. It’s not going to impact me.
