Parents shouldn’t blow college fund at casino

Re: “12th and Cambie,” March 18.
I strongly disagree with the idea of building a mega casino in Vancouver. Casinos have a way of sucking the money out of everyone who goes there. The casino itself would make money, but for the family members of the customers, it is a disaster waiting to happen. As a Grade 12 student determined to go to university, I’d like my parents to spend their money on a more meaningful cause. Perhaps they could spend their money on my university tuition; it’s just a thought. If the mega casino were to be built, my parents would probably go there almost every week.
I would rather not see them constantly lose money since they usually do every time they step foot inside a casino. It’s not a pretty sight.
