NYC unfairly keeps large grocers such as Walmart out of the city. You can order 40 water bottle packs from Costco using Instacart for 3.69 in NYC [1]. NYC Bodegas are not competitive, it is unfortunate the city allows the poor to be taken advantage of and forced to shop at such uncompetitively priced stores.

I'm not familiar with NYC, but typical techniques involve refusing to issue business or construction permits, or imposing untenable restrictions.
