Maybe his company would have done better in Atlantic City, if it depended not just on tourists, but on the entire city for business. Maybe Atlantic City needs more than a collection of casinos always teetering on the brink of collapse, along with a few yoga studios and hipster outposts, to prosper. Maybe the Apple Store would have stayed open if casino dollars have would been invested in libraries and rec centers and lifted up local schools and local kids. Maybe it would have done better if casino revenues had been put into affordable housing rather new roads that led up to gaming hall doorsteps and marketing campaigns directed at far-flung suburbanites and retirees. Maybe it is time to address the city's public-health crisis and make sure infants are taken care of and the town isn't a food desert anymore. Maybe Atlantic City needs to double-down on Stockton and the Atlantic City Medical Center, and in general, on good, decent-paying jobs for local residents in eds and meds and other areas – the kinds of jobs that allow people to buy new cell phones or laptops every couple of years.
