From the article:
*** That’s because there is not one single Walmart in New York City. And it’s not like Walmart hasn’t tried. But despite repeated efforts over the years, Walmart has been completely and effectively prevented from opening any stores in the City. There isn’t actually any specific statute that bans or targets Walmart by name. It’s just that every time Walmart has picked a site and tried to get a project going, local activists rise up and protest, and get the local politicians on their side, until Walmart backs down. In the most recent years, Walmart has mostly given up trying.***

Walmart should count itself lucky. I would imagine that such a store in NYC would have a huge and continuous amount of shoplifting.
And there’s the catch-and-release New York justice system.
The Mafia doesnt want them either.......
