A Coney Island casino proposal divides locals

The Coney Island casino proposal is one of 11 vying for a downstate gaming license as part of a protracted approval process expected to conclude by year’s end.

The proposal embodies a familiar standoff in and around New York City. On one side are local residents and merchants who say they fear the irreplaceable loss of community; on the other side are neighbors and developers who argue that the area desperately needs the jobs development would bring, and that Coney Island cannot subsist on carnival rides, kitsch and memories of better times.
