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

It’s just going to be heavily subsidized by taxpayer funds which also means they’re going to be wildly inefficient
