state-run groceries are a terrible idea even from the perspective of the people he's putatively trying to help

About the idea of "city-owned grocery stores" from Mamdani, it’s well to understand that the reality of food deserts in poor neighborhoods,
raising the cost of being poor, is well documented. Food deserts are just another failure of unregulated capitalism.
The problem is real and his proposal is at least a step toward addressing it.
I believe gov't needs to step in where the private sector fails and higher food prices for poor people is a market failure.
Mamdani never suggested city-owned grocery stores was the only solution. But he is open to possible solutions that haven’t been tried before.
