The Davis Square Community

I read something the other day about some kind of proposal (I forget by whom, alas) to charge MA residents some kind of big fee to enter the casino as a way to discourage problem gambling in locals, while allowing non-residents free entry. Apparently Singapore does this. I don't know how likely it is to happen here, but I can say it would certainly discourage me from visiting, both from an economic standpoint and a "fuck that" standpoint.
