I doubt NYC ever opens a Walmart, the only place in NYC I could picture a Walmart is Staten Island.

Wow I don't know where in Brooklyn they'd be able to construct a Walmart. Brooklyn has close to 3 million people in an area half the size of the city of Detroit.

There is plenty of room for a Walmart. Brooklyn has a Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Sears, etc.
