Player cities should be able to place one public bazaar per city for people to sell their items on. This would add to being a politician and it would also help out the city with sales taxes and such. what do u guys think?

Problem with player placed bazaars is ... they could be deleted or simply destroyed (lack of maintenance) ... and that would lead to an outcry and a flood of CSR tickets ...
Rather than letting players (or just citizens?) place actuall items in a player city bazaar, I'd let them have their personal vendor items been shown on the player city bazaar if the want them to be shown - players can check the bazaar, even buy there - and get a mail with a waypoint to the vendor where they can retreave the purchased goods (as you already do get now).
A Merchant showing his items on this bazaar would have to pay a fee, because this would also make his goods searchable planetwide - even galaxy wide!

They could function exactly like player city banks, where if it's destroyed all the items get shunted to the banks on whatever planet it was on.
I'd love a public bazaar.

I'd love a public bazaar.
Only that banks in general (not only player banks) already work that way ... they are planet wide banks, not restricted to a specific area ...
What would decide to which bazaar all the items would be transfered? OK, the mayor could link the bazaar to an NPC town on creation - just a question of how hard it is to code and make failsafe.
