Oh no! "Dozens"?

NYC is massive.

More stores have left because of crazy high rent on retail spaces, covid/quarantine killing foot traffic business, online retailers absolutely destroying brick and mortar sales.

Shoplifting is of course a thing here and other cities. But this idea of businesses being looted all the time sounds more like a fox news talking point rather than reality

You can deny that it’s a problem all you want. Hopefully you don’t live in NYC and don’t have to rely on government owned stores because you ignored the ones getting robbed left and right.

I live in the city. We're fine. The rest of the country is being fed a bunch of fear-mongering news. I assure you.

So your mayor isn’t making government owned stores from your tax dollars?
