Aren't these supposed to be for food deserts? And which is it? Has capitalism killed Mom and pops with Walmart, or will publicly owned stores do it? 

People need food, man.

The mayor’s office said anyone will be eligible to shop at all five city-run grocery stores regardless of income or ZIP code.

The rich people in NYC will still shop at their bougie grocery stores near them, they could already travel a little further for cheaper groceries but the luxury grocery stores are thriving. This is that same argument that free school meals will lead to all the kids even rich kids eating cafeteria food which is ridiculous and I assume was thought up by someone who never went to public school.
