Even surviving ULURP (which is what the state is blaming the delay in licensing until next year on), there is still the matter of the 6 member board that has to approval a casino proposal before it even gets to the final round. Any proposal cand only afford to lose 2 votes, of which 1 will represent the city council member. Still a long way to go.

That could also equal less open space and more daylight blocking towers. See how that works?
