I'd rather straight up repeal the Casino bill and create a free zone on all these brownfield parcels--and see what "the market" decides to build on these parcels--no payoffs, no proffers, no corruption. Only condition is that the free zone lasts just 3 years.
It would no doubt be something useful--probably housing.
That's fine for Boston, but what about Springfield where the market would build nothing, or Plainville where where's already entertainment on the site and you're just taking money out of the pocket of a local business?
I'm a little worried about how Boston-centric the casino repeal debate has become. There are 2 other sites.
