251 John ToChinatown is one of the most special things in Philadelphia, and if the casino is in fact built above the gallery, you might as well just remember Chinatown for what it was, not what it should be.

261 Desi BurnetteMayor Nutter ran on a platform of No Casinos in Philadelphia neighborhoods. He and City Council MUST stand with the residents of Chinatown and all of Philadelphia to oppose the construction of casinos in this wonderful city. The casino industry preys on the misery and desperation that many are increasingly feeling. This is NOT a solution to the economic troubles we face.

263 Jacques-Jean TiziouThis is not good development in the long term. Nor should it be a done deal. Our city leaders should stand up for the communities that they represent, and take the fight back to Harrisburg and get these things out of our fair city.

266 Jonathan ChaoIf we wish to become a first-class city, building a casino in the heart of it is the last thing we should do!
267 Carol Hu, MDIt is an embarrassment that the city is even considering opening this casino, especially without consulting the surrounding community. It would be a sad thing for the city to sell the safety and well-being of its people for monetary gain.
268 Vicki CuscinoI work for an organization serving people with disabilities just blocks away from the proposed site. People with disabilities already face significant access and transportation issues and I fear the casino will only exacerbate these barriers to complete and unconditional integration in our community.
269 Kwang-Hyun BaekCasinos destroy homes and family. Why should Casinos be placed near Chinatown or anywhere in the city when it was unacceptable elsewhere (riverfront and south philly)? If so, this is a direct discrimination against people with small voices.

271 Erik LystadAs a medical student at Jefferson Medical College, I vehemently oppose the zoning policy that allows for the aformentioned slots parlor to be put into the Gallery. We must seek for more jobs, stimulate economy, and encourage tourism, but this is not the type of business that will accomplish these goals. At the center of Philadelphia, the Gallery should be a place of attracting families and individuals.

293 Donna BridyThe vibrant Chinatown community in Philadelphia should be left to grow and prosper and NO casino should be proposed for the Gallery East development. Cities are for people NOT corporations. Residential downtowns are for fair and honest commerce NOT the legal fraud and deceitful economic rape of gambling and bankrupt families.
