There are plenty of Walmart's lots closer to NYC than Albany and
the other cities you mentioned. There are several on Long Island
and a couple in Westchester.

Also, there are Home Depot's and Costco's in NYC (including
Manhattan), so the excuse of not having enough room to build one
is bogus. They may not be willing to pay the price for the real
estate but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
