If the goal is to serve people with larger distances to groceries today, and unmet needs, it’s probably not as helpful in wealthier areas like Staten Island. Though surely some people there will benefit.
I can’t find easy data on grocery store density, but I’m guessing if the program is as successful as it seems like it should be, dozens of stores across NYC seems like a place they could get quickly. Probably not evenly distributed across boroughs though.
I would hope so! I’d think with that kind of population they’d need 10 stores per borough, maybe more.

Yeah, with a fraction of the population, I’d be less concerned about Staten Island than the others.
