The amount of chart crime from “new media” is astonishing. Yes, let's compare the avg. square footage of an HEB in Bumblefuck, Arkansas to New York City real estate prices. This is either stupid or dishonest. I can't decide which is worse.

Why did they even bother to call it Mamdani's Mart? Just add a hammer and sickle and be done with it.

Wow! A lot of Wholefoods in “bumblefuck” Arkansas, right! You’re also right that $3,000+ per sq ft and 3 years to build is totally normal!
