If he had his way, that's how it would be.

Creepy bull dykes demanding they’re addressed by pronouns will get discounted pricing,

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

How soon are those free busses coming?

Ghosts of Former Soviet Union Leaders Grin As Mamdani's $30M NYC Communist Grocery Store Unveiled

NYC's first city-run $30M grocery store in East Harlem sparks debate over fairness and competition.

redstate.com

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.

Wow

You should pay attention to the specific circumstances in Mamdani’istan.

There talking existing government property.

Will construct the infrastructure.

Then will contract the space to a private provider.

What did I miss?

Not much different than Starbucks running inside the Pentagon.

Redstare?

You’re not serious right.

Ya, stateless will be sold at discounts other items not. The store will be run by a contractor. That b means tapping into a larger good chain.

Under the contract the vendor saves on property and institute costs and those savings are too be passed spinning to the consumer.WW

DOES IT TAKE $30 million and 3 years to build one?

Hey, it took Democrats more than $1 billion and four years to build the Obamacare website, and it still didn’t work right on roll-out day.

Cheerfully withdrawn,

Your anecdotal evidence proves these stores will be a success in NYC,

THANKS,

The high speed rail in California is a total con job,

If anyone has ever seen the monorail episode of THE SIMPSONS….the high speed rail grift in California is ART COME TO LIFE.

There will be tremendous pressure to make it appear that this works, just like in the old soviet union. That will mean no police reports of theft, subsidizing shoplifting, and preferred media coverage. I think he will pull it off, maybe for 3 months or until it gets cold.

ABC news? What a laughable joke.

The communist run government food stores will have tax and rent exceptions as the only way to make them viable.

Plus no one will be charged with looting. I can’t wait for the free rent proposal.

Much like in leftist California, there will be an allowance for theft up to a threshold of $1000.00 or less.

Thieves can take their free grocery items on the free busses to their cardboard boxes on the street.

There are 5 total stores that will cost $75 million.

One in each borough.

My understanding was the Manhattan one was from the ground up, but who knows.

Regardless, no one can point out exactly how this will benefit Manhattan residents.

It’s already a failure. They budgeted 15 million per store and that has doubled already on the very first one. And they are no where near getting the first loaf of bread on a shelf. There are only three ways this ends up.

1- It’s a never ending tax drain just to keep it open.

2- it never does open.

3- It does open with tax funds just long enough to drive all the other stores out of business and they have no choice but to keep spending millions to keep it barely stocked.

One thing is clear, NY voters have fucked them selves.

I can’t wait for the fighting to start when patrons go at one another for free stuff. Let’s see if the store places the prime rib and filet mignon behind bullet proof glass display.
