[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to get started on the Tyson's casino before it becomes irrelevant! We need to grab that five years of revenue because the area is saturated with casinos.

Politicians want the casino for tax receipts.

The challenge is that the casino market is now saturated. In general, casinos are no longer a good business. Chicago approved one - a Bally’s operation - and it is already running into financial problems before it is built. When you take into account the externalities with gambling - something politicians rarely do - casinos just don’t make economic sense. [/quote]

That's why the Tyson's casino should be built immediately. In five years, we can tear down the casino and convert it into low income housing. [/quote]

This makes no sense. If low income housing is desired, build it. The cost of tearing down a commercial building is significant- as is the cost of any conversion to housing - which is often not realistic. You must have been trying to illicit a humorous reaction. [/quote]

We need to build low-income housing in high-income areas in order to destroy the property value in high-income neighborhoods.[/quote]
