I agree with most of what you say, except for a few things:

1) It would provide up to 1.200 jobs for those "low income" people living downtown to apply for.

Perhaps it isn't what you meant, but downtown is not full of 1200 "low income" people living downtown. And to build on that, if poor people do live downtown, why would it default to them working at the casino? I live downtown and am not 'low income' but live here by choice.

However, when I decide to go out there is nowhere for me to go but Burlington or Toronto.

That's also false. Head to Augusta street, it's for the 21+ crowd since Hess no longer is that. Or head to any number of our upscale restaurants, or head up to the east mountain complex, Upper James near the Linc, or the Meadowlands in Ancaster if you prefer a tamer bar scene at a big-box restaurant.
