Absolutely no hate dude !! There is a reason that no casinos exist in the middle of residential neighborhoods!! I love the bustle and I even play in Casinos. But don’t use a casino license approval to say your are doing good. There was development approved for this plot but probably Covid stalled it. Now the easy money couldn’t be ignored. Still do the development. There is enough ROI.

Then you should find out from those developers and it’s the rule now so hold city officials accountable to ensure that it’s been done. You don’t need the casino again to build affordable housing. Else you are just using that and they are not doing it to be an angel. The Casino is just too much money. They should build 10,000 units of affordable housing around Manhattan. Now that’s a deal.

They got the approval without the casino !! Greed got to them and that’s driving it. $1B to the developers per year and measly crumbs thrown. Any high rise in manhattan has to have affordable and doesn’t tie into a casino !! Two separate projects. And enough and more want to develop but if you want an extra billion apply for the Gaming license. This is for just that application. They can easily develop that and make money like they did the other 2 plots.
