  • 8 Major Reasons Not To Move To Las Vegas

    8 Major Reasons Not To Move To Las Vegas.

    There is no place like Las Vegas in the entire world, therefore
    people from all over the world come here on a daily basis. Vegas has changed over the
    years, but most of the changes have occurred in the past 6 to 7 years.

    1. HOUSINGThe housing market here is over-inflated. A typical 3 bedroom
    1.5 to 2 bath home with 1500-1700 square feet that should sell for $140,000. to
    $160,000. now sells for $230,000. to $250,000. The people that are buying these homes
    and the high rise Condo units are the wealthy who use them for their second or third
    homes or investors who rent them out.

    2. WATERThe majority of the water used in Las Vegas comes from Lake Mead.
    The lake is currently 50 to 55 feet BELOW the level it was at 6 to 7 years ago. The
    population of Las Vegas is up around 2 million people. There are swimming pools in
    a large amount of the homes. You see an awful lot of people tearing out their grass and
    putting in Desert Landscaping which consists of colored rocks and a few plants. What is
    going to happen in the next several years as the population grows even more?

    3. TRAFFICSure, every city has it's traffic problems. In Las Vegas it is magnified
    even more because of the poor freeway systems and the fact that the majority of the
    population lives in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges. Vegas has some of the most
    aggressive drivers in the United States. Some of the problem is a shortage of police out
    on the streets patroling. Most cities have their normal RUSH HOUR traffic in the mornings
    and the late afternoons. Vegas has RUSH HOUR all day long because of the 24 hour work
    environment due to shifts stopping and starting all 24 hours. Also, because of the boom in
    construction, massive amounts of construction workers help clog the streets. Gasoline
    prices are among the highest in the nation.

    4. SUMMER HEATIt is dry heat! In the summer when it stays over 100 degrees every
    single day it is really HOT! It drains you if you are out in it for very long. No thunderstorms
    popping up for a little relief. No rivers or creeks nearby, just one big lake 25 miles away!

    5. SCHOOLSThe school system is having big problems. They are building new schools
    to catch up the the rising population which is good. The problem is finding teachers to
    fill the vacancies. The starting salary of a school teacher is around $27,000. per year. Along
    with the teachers being underpaid is the fact that there is no affordable housing for them
    to relocate here. If you were a teacher, why would you want to move to Las Vegas and lower
    your standard of living?

    6. EMPLOYMENTThere are plenty of jobs, mainly in the casinos, and the main reason
    there are plenty of jobs is because the casinos don't treat you very well at all. When you
    apply for any job at all, you must account for the past ten years of employment and you must
    have good credit. Their attitude is that you can be replaced at a minutes notice by someone
    else. On 9-11 the massive layoffs that occurred were unnecessary. The casinos were
    worried about their BOTTOM LINE. Many management people were laid off and their job
    title eliminated so that even though they had worked there for several years, they reapplied
    and had to go through everything that a brand new person did and held no senority.

    7. GAMBLINGNo matter where you live in the world right now, the lure of gambling
    will never be as great as it is here in Las Vegas. Casinos, grocery stores, gas stations, and
    most bars have gambling. When you live in Las Vegas gambling becomes an addiction. Sure,
    there are shows and fine dining but where are they mostly located? In the casinos! Normal
    activities that you might think of such as cooking out with family and friends and going out
    with friends to dinner are very hard to do because everyone works all kinds of shifts and
    have different days off. It is very difficult to get together with other people even once a month.
    You can only stay home and watch television or movies so much, especially when you see and
    feel the presence of gambling all around you. Another problem that goes hand in hand with
    gambling is ALCOHOL. When you are in a casino for any length of time at all, you usually
    have a few drinks. Why, because they are free! The dollar or two that you tip the coctail
    waitress still makes it very inexpensive. Alcohol clouds your judgement and you end up
    making gambling decisions that you regret later. Gambling starts to take over your life.
    Your money is spent on gambling instead of other things like vacations, nice clothes etc.
    Like many others who live here, you tend to feel trapped. WORK, SLEEP, GAMBLE,
    DRINK! What a viscious cycle that is very hard to escape!

    8. MULTI-CULTURAL If you are a caucasion natural born american citizen, you are a
    minority among the population here in Vegas. There are people here from Korea, China, Israel,
    Bulgaria, Mexico,The Felipines, Romania, Pakastan, Iran and Eithopia. Is this a negative aspect
    to a city? It is an awful lot like living in New York city and San Francisco. You find it hard to
    trust people when they don't speak english because you don't know what they are talking about.
    Some of the cultures of people are naturally agressive. You are constantly watching your
    place in any type of line you're in wether you're at the grocery store, gas station or a fast food
    establishment for fear you'll lose your place. If you like the big city atmosphere such as in
    New York or San Francisco then Vegas is for you! If you are used to friendly people who say
    Hi and speak english and are not overly aggressive, then Vegas is NOT for you!

    Please think twice about moving to Las Vegas!
