Don’t change the subject. You didn’t ask for details. You said “so subsidized food?”, which is pointing out the obvious. Seems like you’re here to continue arguing instead of just googling the answer, so I’ll fetch the info for you and anyone else who might be curious:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Tuesday that New York City’s planned city-run grocery stores would not be traditional municipally staffed supermarkets. Instead, the city would own the land, cover major overhead costs and bring in a private operator to sell staple foods at discounted prices, starting with a Manhattan site near La Marqueta in East Harlem.

…

“The city will subsidize a core set of staples,” he said. “A private operator will run the store, but they answer to the standards that the city will set.” Those standards, he said, would mean lower prices on basics like bread and eggs.

    I, for one, learned something from this response. Thank you for posting it. You've saved maybe dozens of people from having to search themselves.

    SEO spam makes searching hit or miss. I might search for a policy description and get clickbait opinion pieces. It's a hassle that I'm happy to avoid if someone else does it for me, especially for something that I care only vaguely about.
