    Ahhh cmon, LA has great fishing and French Quarter is pretty cool.The casinos are trash tho and that's what I'm afraid Texas will turn into. Vegas wouldn't be bad, but Vegas was built on casinos. If those fail, what happens to the city? Obviously that's not their only form of income but that's its symbol.

    You're not monarch....

    It's really not that simple. Like reeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyy not that simple. You have to move frontage roads, utilities and then finally add a lame but not before you've secured the necessary ROW which is not as easy as taking 12ft from each side. Moving on....I've been driving this stretch for the past few months now and this has been awesome to watch. Driving at night from 610 South then turning on to Post Oak you can hardly see anything beyond these buildings.

    Something something causation correlation Seriously though, before anyone jumps on it, he does not mean they're poor places because of casinos. Lousiana has some nice places and uhhhh...well Vegas is trash and NJ is NJ. However, it's not just a coincidence that these places are home to the failing casino market.

    Pretty much describes every proposed project thread recently...

    True, I will admit that point, they're "better" than lotto tickets but those are just as much of a scam

    Bro chill...you made your point with your post to me but now you're just trying to make a fool of me and attack me. You obviously don't respect my opinion. If you ready posts you would know I didn't call you or anyone here ignorant. I said the casinos are the ones who prey on ignorant people who are tricked into the illusion of monetary freedoms. Larry, arcades and casinos are two completely different things. How many washed up gambling addicted, alocohol addicted people do you see playing skeet ball in an arcade? video games are addictive, gambling is addictive, but that does NOT mean we should ignore those vices just because other people are doing them. I will admit casinos bring in money, but at what cost? If we just ignore the impacts of other negative vices as a means of support for casinos, then, yes Utterly Urban, that IS ignorant. You are focusing solely on the monetary gains the state would recie be rather than impacts it would have on society. If anyone can please make a list of any postive impacts on the well-being of society then I will relent. Anything that you think we as a society need in order to grow. It's 2014 guys. We should realize by now that just because things that have been established for so long does NOT automatically make them okay.

    Comparing casinos to other bad habits does not work and is simply ignorant. Using a comparison as your argument doesn't prove anything except that other forms of vices are equally discouraging. We should be able to choose the things we want for our city, and just because some of those things bring in significant amounts of money does not mean we should legalize it when it's whole purpose is cheating your fellow citizens and out of money.

    I've seen an early look at this, but it may have been a different developer as it was a couple years ago. Looks about like what College Stations City Center is gonna be.

    I have a reply written out by HAIF mobile crashed. I'll do it when I wake up.

    Aren't then those people you just mentioned a big reason NOT to allow casinos? It's not like they would suddenly become middle class citizens. They would succumb to the illusion of a lid outside poverty first. It will not help that situation; casinos would only make it worse

    TL;DR The economic benefit does not out weigh the blights it would put on society.
  13. BigFootsSocks
    No it's not absurd. You're granted your own opinion but don't paint me as a fool. I don't like the idea of casinos in general. Look at Atlantic City, how well is it going over there? Lousiana casinos are trashy and the whole idea of a casino has no benefit to society. It's just another way for the wealthy to prey on ignorant Americans who get persuaded by the chance of wealth, no matter how slim it is. Casinos fuel gambling addicitions and are one of the causes of poor mental health cases in America. The reason I said just because it exists doesn't mean we need it is because we DON'T need them. Why do we need to bring in money from an institution that just puts a blight on society? Sure it's a nice way to bring in a quick buck but casinos have no benefit to the well-being of society at all. I don't give a shot about the religious aspect. I care about fueling the need for those who are addicted. It ruins lives, families, etc. it turns a person towards crime and poverty and the only ones who benefit continuously are the owners.

    IT you got a link to that Gawker article? Would love to see their thoughts on it. Also I am in no way religious but refuse to support casinos. Id rather not want Texas to have to start putting up Gambling Addicition centers around here. Casinos are just the fuel to those who are addicted. I know if I got a taste of it I would have trouble stepping away. Addictive personalities suck like that.

    Here's hoping it doesn't pass...just because something exists doesn't mean we need it.
