I used to work in a Long Term Care/Rehab facility in Las Vegas, and I heard way too many times from the seniors in the facility that Las Vegas has the coldest, most friendly people anywhere where they've lived. And I totally agree!
Las Vegas is the Walled City, walls, walls, walls everywhere you look. It's normal to have a backyard enclosed with 6 foot or higher cinder block walls, and cinder block walls up and down the streets everywhere. And what does that say about Las Vegans who love their walls?
And then there's the omnipresent brown, brown, brown and all shades of brown, and in many new gated communities you're give 4 shades of brown to paint your house. One big townhouse community in Henderson (Brownderson?) has chocolate painted townhouses! If I lived there I'd go kookoo, kookoo, kookoo!! Brown is a very conservative color and a good choice for conservative Las Vegans!
They are the coldest but yet the friendliest? Is that a typo, or are most of the people in Las Vegas bipolar or have split personalities?
I like rock or stone walls. I think they look better than wooden fences and definitely better than chain link. Fences/walls are good at keeping animals out of your yard, and keeping your pets inside your yard.

Typo! You couldn't figure that out?
As to the omnipresent 6-7 foot high cinder block walls around the backyards of houses in Las Vegas, and having worked in a LTC/Rehab facility, one elderly woman came to the facility, fell in her walled backyard, broke her hip, and? How could a neighbor see it with those surrounding walls? She called for help, no help came, so she crawled on her back, on the graveled backyard, little by little, until she got to the front of the house where someone spotted her.
Yes, those walled backyards can become death traps!

There are pros and cons for virtually everything. I could probably easily search the internet, and find stories about dogs attacking people inside their own unfenced/ungated yard. If that elderly woman didn't have a fence/gate/wall, and a dog attacked her, it would be a different story for you to tell. I will stick with the walls myself.
Lubbock is just flat out boring and bland and it's mostly old people who live there. The only young people are those who go to Texas Tech temporarily and leave right after.
Lubbock is by far the smallest of the cities being compared, but there is more going on here, than El Paso, and l likely comparable to Tucson.
I don't know when you were last here, but only about 11% of the population is 65 and over.
I haven't been to Tucson is quite some time, but it is far from utopia.
