Congrats to NY city voters. Their wishes came true. Stalin would be so proud.

How soon are those free busses coming?


On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.

The store will be required to pay no taxes or rent, yet the neighboring competitors will face those high costs. That is not capitalism, folks.

If they waive rent and taxes, all grocery stores could be cheaper.

Sure, but it’s best to promote the stalin’ist / Islamist enabled stores by waving their taxes and rents thus driving out competition from other stores.
 
This is no more than taxpayers, subsidizing the cost of groceries. It's just another form of welfare. The state of education in NYC must be pretty shitty to have produced enough useful idiots to elect this communist POS.

Yep, and NYC taxpayers subsidize the cost of illegal aliens because taxpayer dollars are a bottomless pit.
 
Soon!
