No one can speak for themselves. As long as it’s CY, PY etc and has a normative Orthodox hashgacha (not one of the fringe ones that give hashgachas to restaurants open Shabbos etc) I’m in.

You might be comfortable with any reliable hechser. Others might want specific brands..

Good for them. Not deciding for anyone else, but for me this is considered a Shas Hadchak and if it’s properly Kosher then I’m not going to make a big stink. I understand that other people have different standards for “properly Kosher”, but lives are at stake.

At the end of the day the biggest concern here (I think) is Chametz Sheavar Alav HaPesach, in which case the most important point is to trust that they sold the Chametz properly. If you can trust the local Kosher supermarket and their vendors, perhaps you can trust this as well.

You have a valid point.
In Brooklyn you can't have everyone agree to the same hasgucha. Unfortunately

You can have those as different package options:
1) Heimeshe hechsherim
2) National Hechsherim (ou star-k etc.) with only CY and PY
3) National Hechsherim Chalav stam and pas palter

There’s gotta be a lowest common denominator, I’m not sure what it looks like.

My thought is that 2 and 3 won't want to spend extra for a less tasty product but 1 will be ok with anything that fits their standards because they basically taste the same.

Whoever lives in CH, I'm sure you had a rough time shopping local these past few days. There are lines to get to any grocery/supermarket store (lasting up to 60 minutes!). The few open fast food are overwhelmed and can't even deliver their phone/online orders. All home appliance stores cancelled online/phone orders and also have long lines to get in.
I'm wondering what would've happened if they let everyone go inside their store at the same time (and perhaps be open more hours), there would've be that many people inside making it dangerous to be there?
By having people lining up, isn't a bigger issue?
Also, I'm in a WhatsApp group to help ppl at risk or in quarantine, delivering them goods or shop on their behalf. The lines situation makes it very hard for a volunteer to accomplish it.

I would think you can cover 95% of people by having 1&2. I don't think most of the Heimishe hechsher people are so particular about each hechsher, I also think most of the non CY/PP would be fine with CY and PP. Each area would also be able to set up it's own standards, it doesn't make sense to have #3 in BP or Williamsburg and it wouldn't make sense to have #1 in the 5 Towns.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I spoke to a large distributor about doing something like this in Brooklyn his words "it will never work".
To many people have there issues with that hechser or ruv so having someone unite this in one package will never work.
Regardless its an amazing idea and we need something like this in the city
