Coney Island’s proposed casino is already stirring up strong feelings in the neighborhood. Locals are worried about whether the promised jobs will actually go to residents—just 8.7% of new positions are projected for Coney Islanders, which feels low for a project of this size. There’s also a lot of skepticism about transportation fixes, like better subway service and new ferry routes, since nothing’s guaranteed yet. Parking headaches and flood risks are top concerns, too. With a $200 million community trust on the table, folks are asking: will it really make a difference? What do you think—could a casino help or hurt Coney Island? #News #ConeyIsland #CasinoDebate
