Could it get much worse than the news today? Mayor Manny Diaz gives a state of the city speech calling for a “green and sustainable future”, the city commission approves three condominiums for multimillionaires built by a billionaire supporting the Catholic Church’s money woes because of sex abuse scandals, the Latin Builders Association hosts a luncheon at the failed Parrot Jungle for HUD Cabrera that is in the process of seizing the County Housing Agency to bail out crashing production homebuilders whose domination of the county commission is based on liar loans to their market base, mortgage fraud and incestuous relations between builders and lenders, at virtually the same time that Umoja Village burns down, giving police the moment to wrestle poor people to the ground. Damn that's a bad day!
The writer James Howard Kunstler said, about Las Vegas, “As a city it’s a futureless catastrophe. As a tourist trap, it’s a meta-joke. As a theosophical matter, it presents proof we are a wicked people who deserve to be punished. In the historical context, it is the place where America’s spirit crawled off to die.”
We wonder if he got the city wrong.

No,twin cities, just one run by the mafia and one by plain crooks.
"it is the place where America’s spirit crawled off to die.”
I hope not. I really hope you are wrong. Open the door, look for a bird or a flower and maybe our spirt can soar again. The people are what is wrong with the place not the place.

So what's the inference here? I have long suspected that HUD wanted to get involved to cover-up what was really going on. So far, only bit players in the housing scandal have been pursued.
It has been said that the cubans who run Miami are part of the old mafia who ran Havana. The difference between Las Vegas and Miami is that the population in Las Vagas votes much more Democratic than Miami-Dade.
