Proposals have been made for a casino to be built in multiple places in southern New York, and one such location is Times Square right in the heart of New York City. Times Square already sees plenty of foot traffic due to is many attractions and the high number of tourists in the city but a casino would surely increase that even more. Natalie Migliore, WOR Reporter, spoke with Mendte in the Morning about what she heard from the people on if they are on board with the casino proposal.
“Not at all, too many people… with all the things going on around over here, it’s not safe for nobody,” one citizen told Migliore. “No because its going to bring the wrong crowd; they’re going to be drinking, hanging out, it’s not a good thing,” another person said to Migliore.
One NYC resident believes that the area already sees enough people on a daily basis to warrant a new attraction: “I think enough people come here anyway; it’s pretty crowded…if you hang out over the weekend it’s a zoo.”
