Smelly city-funded grocery store closes after receiving millions from taxpayers

“A city-run grocery store in Kansas City that was propped up by more than $18 million taxpayer dollars has closed,” reports the National Review. “A publicly funded grocery store in Missouri — similar to Zohran Mamdani’s Big Apple proposal — abruptly closed Tuesday morning, leaving a note on the entrance stating it can no longer serve residents due to circumstances ‘beyond our control,'” reports the New York Post:

Sun Fresh Market in Kansas City — which opened in 2018 as part of a multi-million-dollar revitalization plan — mysteriously shuttered just weeks after viral footage exposed the struggling store’s bare shelves, foul odor and frustrated customers.

The alarming footage sparked renewed skepticism of Mamdani’s signature plan to bring city-owned markets to the New York City if he’s elected mayor. However, the area quickly became plagued by crime and safety issues.

Despite receiving millions in taxpayer funding since opening and thousands more for security upgrades, the store still struggled to stock the shelves with produce and other essential goods….The sudden shutdown comes a few months after Mamdani secured the New York City Democratic mayoral nomination with a campaign centered on affordability, including a plan to establish a $65 million network of government-owned grocery stores, with one located in each of the five boroughs.

Mamdani has called for pulling police out of high crime areas. He denounced the New York Police Department [NYPD], writing, “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer, and a major threat to public safety. What we need is to Defund The NYPD.” Mandani also said thatQueer liberation means defund the police.

Zohran Mamdani has called for emptying jails, because “VioIence is an artificial construct.”

Mamdani has called for having the government run grocery stores, even though such stores lose money, cost taxpayers, and result in increased food waste and reduced choices of food. Mamdani also proposed arbitrary, extreme restrictions on rent that would leave landlords with too little money to maintain housing units, which could turn much of New York into a slum.

Laura Gillen, a House Democrat on Long Island, recently criticized Zohran Mamdani, saying, “Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City. His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needs. Beyond that, Mr. Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments which stoke hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing. He is the absolute wrong choice for New York.”
