Um, the mixed income housing and school is still part of the plan. It's as walkable in its current form as it was in the previous form. The "fucking casino" will generate much more revenue for the city and state (for things like schools, transit, etc.) than any more condo buildings will, which in case you hadn't noticed, aren't rising. And won't rise anytime soon.
