Walmart will eventually conquer the five boroughs whether politicians, unions and neighborhood activists like it or not, and the City Council is bracing for that day. On December 14 the Council will hold a hearing titled "When Walmart Comes to Town" to discuss the retailer's impact. After suffering defeats in Queens and Staten Island, Walmart is reportedly looking for as-of-right sites, such as East New York's Gateway II complex, that wouldn't need city approval. [Crain's]
