Debate : Will Zohran Mamdani city-run grocery stores actually work?

[museumoftrees]

I want to hear non-partisan opinions on this. I know this forum is mostly left leaning but the sources I found online are mostly right wing bashing the concept of government run grocery stores altogether.

I personally have no clue if they'll work. I feel like this is something we have to do and observe scientifically as a society. But for me, public stores are the next step in terms of bringing competition and driving prices down in the food industry.
