Inside New Yorkers' hopes and fears over Mamdani's city-run grocery stores

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to open five city-run grocery stores by 2029, offering a 30% discount on core goods like fruit, vegetables, and dairy. The initiative requires $70 million in funding, with the East Harlem lot accounting for $30 million. While some New Yorkers welcome lower food prices, existing vendors are concerned that the new infrastructure will neglect their small businesses.
