I disagree, I think the liquor tax being so small and unnoticeable is the reason a big black market for liquor exists.
I also disagree that our government is competent to shut down these theoretical stores if they existed in the same vein as the weed stores.
The whole illegal weed store situation could simply be solved by less government regulation on weed. Then people would be buying through the channels that it would actually be taxed through.

There’s a tax on liquor in our city, but I’ve literally never heard of a liquor black market. Why can’t they just regulate it like liquor?

If a business the size of modern cannabis companies can’t compete with the black market because of laws, it reveals how ridiculous these laws are.

Per capita undeniably. The good pizza to population ratio here is so good. There’s only one distinguished pizza place that people will leave the island for, but that’s exclusively for Sicilian so it doesn’t even count.
I’m sure someone can point to a luxury pizza place that cost $30+ a pie that has SI beat in Manhattan or something, but that’s cheating. Our ‘average’ pizza is good pizza in other boroughs.
Also, we have a niche we absolutely dominate in: crunchy thin crust pizza. People will drive all the way to CT to get Pepe’s, but we have them beat.

They’re more lethargic and easier to kill now that the weather is colder IMO
What’s the end game for this anyway? What are the possibilities to eradicate them?
