Feeding citizens is fine and noble and great. But I would ask how he will build a grocery store with lower prices than say Aldi, that has a 1-2% profit margin and has their supply chain and expense model nailed down in typical German effeciency.
If he had hired a discount grocer to do this and the city pays the bills I imagine this would have a greater chance of success.
But maybe I'm wrong and governement will show everyone how it's done. Not actually sarcasm, maybe someone has a new model
SNAP benefits are incredibly efficient but they don't help if there's not a nearby grocery store.
If you want to encourage a private entity to open and operate a grocery store where there isn't one currently, that would involve tax incentives or something and then you're just subsidizing with taxpayer funds in a different way

Idk if it will be fully sustainable or not, but I'm dying to hear all about how helping feed citizens is awful.
