NYC's socialist mayor proposes public supermarkets to fight food insecurity affecting 1.4 million residents.
New York City's new socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is proposing city-run supermarkets to combat food insecurity affecting 1.4 million residents, aiming to lower prices by eliminating rent and taxes and using centralized distribution.
The plan, which opposes the current FRESH program's reliance on private grocery incentives, faces scrutiny for lacking specifics on locations and store formats.
While the FRESH program has added 40 supermarkets since 2009, experts stress that broader systemic solutions are needed in a city with 1,000 supermarkets.
The proposal highlights ongoing challenges in ensuring affordable, healthy food access, especially in low-income areas like the Bronx.
