Communities often experience a net economic drain despite promises of revenue when it comes to Casinos. A reminder that Jay-Z is a capitalist whose false promises re: the Barclays Brooklyn resulted in gentrification and displacement.
our MGM casino is doing just fine in the DMV.. matter of fact both of them are.

both sit in well to do areas. People keep running this myth around that casinos dont help but hinder. Thats a lie.

That's the same BS marketing the Nets used with Jay:

They know the locals are going to have a problem with these real estate projects so to smooth things over they grab a local hero to tell the people everything's going to be okay and there's jobs on the way. You might land a job but your rent will go up so high that you won't be able to live there anymore.

If that Queens casino is near QB, Long Island City, or any residential area it will do more harm than good.

This is good for the investors' portfolios not the people. It's capitalism.
Paint that over!!!

You sure they got the votes already?

To the east at the Queens Borough Hall, Resorts World NYC also fielded its second hearing, about three weeks after receiving unanimous support from community groups and nonprofits at its first meeting in mid-August. Monday saw another three-hour display of support without a single dissenter.



^^^ they (Resorts World) passed their CAC vote.

The Mets owner group is the one with some slight trouble

They were never gonna allow that in Times Squares... they have spent 15+ years trying to clean up Times Square from the hell hole it was in the 1970s,80s and early 90s
Times Square is :trash:

Having a Las Vegas-style casino and hotel resort there wouldn’t make it dirty
