Well, I’m not in such a situation so my opinion might not even align with what majority think.

If I were in this situation, I’d support it. The funds could really help with fixing up infrastructure, and the increased attention to the community could create more opportunities for businesses.

We have seen this happen so many times and at the end it never goes in favor for those who are opposed. Because at the end of the day, it is still money. Profit is profit and no leader would ignore a chance to do so much more with the region with the money they will get from allowing this casino. Even if we weigh in on our opinions and highlight the region's identity and how it will not align with a casino, I do not think they will still listen anyway. A leader has to make the toughest decisions for the benefit of the community.

I think this is almost the same deal as what happened to our city here. A cockpit was constructed near our place and it's been two years now if I am not mistaken. Changes did happen in our city, the road was fixed, city lights on that new road, and different projects coming out and I think most of the funds are coming from that cockpit which is really a huge deal when a derby happens.
But the only difference is, there's no one asked what will happen, it's just the government which decided everything and I think it made good to the city although I hate the place where it was erected since it is near our subdivision.
Still, this will all depend on the consensus, that's if a regular person has a say in the decision.

If you are part of the community, which side will you be on?
Preserving the cultural heritage or developing the region for a more robust economy

Most of the business that provides negative impact to its neighbor usually offer a compensation to affected people or area. It only means the effect is bad on me that’s why they are compensating so my obvious answer is no to this.

I will stick to not supporting to maintain peace on my area since establishing a casino near my house will surely make it more busy with gamblers, worst part is when those problem gambler cause trouble to his/her surroundings.

Those pros can be easily erased by its cons which is much better to not just add it to maintain the current peace on the area.

Preserving the cultural heritage or developing the region for a more robust economy

According to the research I got from Google on Wikipedia, I was made to understand that "Coney Island is a neighborhood and entertainment area in the southwestern section of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. A neighborhood bounded by Brighton Beach to its east, Lower New York Bay to it's south and west, and Gravesend to the north"., and located on a land area of 1.790 Kilometers per square, having a population of 119,482 people and also known to have a total number of 5million visitors yearly, as a tourist and entertainment city. Hence, if I was to choose between "preserving the cultural heritage of my city or developing the region for a more robust economy" I will go about maintaining preserving it's culture, since Coney island is not underdeveloped, and also generate lots of revenue from the number of visitors that comes in yearly, because just as the second person stated, the establishment of a casino could drive up housing costs, create a permanent state of overcrowding and congestion. But though, everybody is entitled to their opinions.

Realistically, no matter much we try to preserve every culture in due time when some can of new shift in thoughts begins such cultural heritage will have some minor changes.

People do not realize that culture evolves. We, humans, evolve and it is in our nature to change one way or another. Instead of trying to push back on natural evolution, we should just accept it and think of ways to make the new culture our own culture. I am sure those who are complaining are the elderly. The development of the community is no longer for them anymore but for the future generations which is who they should think about.

Who's side will you be if one casino applies for a license to operate in your region in exchange for setting up a trust fund to develop your area? And your area is known to have cultural heritage to protect, the community is divided on this; one part of the community is okay with the trust funds, and the other part is against it as it may lose the cultural heritage of the region it is known for in exchange for a more revitalized community.

i think those who are opposed to this idea is getting too ahead of themselves and are jumping into crazy conclusions already on the other hand the benefit is already right in front of their faces the benefit their community will get from licensing this casino is already well within their reach but their fears are nothing but imagination and from anxiousness

i believe both can be done as a community we need to move forward and progress we can't be left behind and let other regions keep moving forward and forward while we stay still in our places i believe advancement can be done while still preserving their cultural heritage a balance can be maintained if they try hard enough to incorporate their culture and identity to the casino still

No matter the amount in the trustfund some cultural beliefs canybe bought and changed for any amount of development promised, in some places operating a casino or gambling is considered to be a sin and at that their religion beliefs is against it, for example in such a place, no matter what the trustfund can bring to the table, they will likely and always kick against it as against they region and cultural beliefs.

Realistically, no matter much we try to preserve every culture in due time when some can of new shift in thoughts begins such cultural heritage will have some minor changes. However on this note I believe that if the proposal has it to develop the community trust fund and yes there will be change in behavioural pattern of the community but whether they like it or not things will definitely change later on so I will be in the part that supports the casino to create a trust fund for the community.

Hence the disadvantages of Coney Island having a casino rooted in the heart of the community is as high as the advantage, so I believe embracing the opportunity will be much better for everyone regulations should be made towards their terms of operations.

Preserving the cultural heritage of the community is the side of the argument I would have taken and would not have a rethink about it. There are other things that can lead to setting up a trust fund for the community which would not entail destroying the cultural heritage of my people.

If that is allowed, then they will also move a motion to relocate the original settlers of the land to another place so as to give way for their development. It will never happen.

The supporter part can be clearly seen based on how it'd be implemented since, well, they just need money. The opposition though on the other hand, can't understand how it'd drive up housing and disrupt the neighborhood's "character". Is it because gamblers would pop up? If that was all it took to ruin it then I reckon it wasn't much to begin with in the first place. Plus, I don't think the casino would have that many users daily anyway, to the point that there'd be, in their own words, "overcrowding". Pretty sure it's just an exaggeration?

I'd personally be more focused on the development part. Mainly because it's focusing more on improving qol, aka fixing stuff, not making new stuff. That's going to be 100% helpful for them as well as for tourists.

Well, I’m not in such a situation so my opinion might not even align with what majority think. But one thing I’m sure of is that people’s fear of change often makes them focus only on the disadvantages, without considering how to take advantage of the opportunities or make the most of the situation. I’m sure that’s part of what fuels the opposition. At the same time, those in support might only be looking at the immediate benefits and not considering the long-term impact. So honestly, no matter what side people take, I don’t think anyone can say they’re completely right.

If I were in this situation, I’d support it. The funds could really help with fixing up infrastructure, and the increased attention to the community could create more opportunities for businesses. Overall, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages at this point, as long as there’s a plan to deal with any issues that might come up later.

This is exactly what happens on Coney Island. New York

Quote

The Coney, a proposed casino in Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighborhood in New York, has stirred significant attention, with developers announcing plans to establish a $200 million community trust fund if their gaming license is approved.

One supporter express

Quote

Pat Singer, the founder of the Brighton Beach Neighborhood Association, argue that the funds could significantly improve Coney Island’s infrastructure, including repairs to the long-neglected boardwalk. “By approving this project, you will open the door to new funding which will raise the quality of life for the people in Coney Island,”

And those on the opposition

Quote

On the other hand, many residents and local organizations the project could lead to the “ruin of the entire Coney Island.” Rinn and other critics argue that the casino could drive up housing costs, disrupt the neighborhood’s character, and create a permanent state of overcrowding and congestion, especially in a community that relies heavily on seasonal tourism.
