She wants "public option" grocery stores, whatever that means.

I couldn't find that exact quote. But she has a plan to address "food deserts". Apparently you have restrictive covenants that can encourage such, and she is tearing them down. Here's the AI result:

AI Overview
Seattle's mayor and city council are tackling potential food deserts by passing legislation that bans restrictive covenants, which can prevent new grocery stores from opening in locations where a store has closed. This new law aims to ensure that a new grocery store can easily move into an existing location, and it is not about creating a "public option" grocery store.
Legislation: A recent law unanimously approved by the City Council prohibits a grocery store owner from blocking a competitor from opening in the same location using restrictive covenants.
Goal: The legislation's goal is to ensure that when a grocery store closes, a new one can more easily fill that space, making it easier for residents to access food and medicine.
"Public option" vs. "private option": This is not a government-run or "public option" store, but rather a way to encourage the private market to fill the vacant space by removing barriers to entry for new or competing grocery stores.
