Should Casinos Be Built in Philadelphia?

I do not think that the casinos should be built in Philadelphia. Firstly because it would ruin our reputation as the “brotherly city” because gambling, drinking, and prostitution can often turn even brothers against each other. Also, if I were living on the waterfront and woke up every morning looking at a miniature Las Vegas, I would not be a happy person. It would also increase the number of crimes in the Philadelphia such as robberies, rape, and drinking and drug problems with younger people, due to the fact that a school is right across from one of the casinos. Also, even though many people think that the casinos will increase jobs, the jobs will not be sufficient enough to provide for a family. In general the casinos will create more problems than benefits. Because the costs of creating and maintaining will outweigh the income the benefit of the casinos will be slim to none.
