Do you wish that homes in Vegas suburbs were on larger lots?

Yeah. I hate small yards, and I hate how a lot of the newer neighborhoods have packed houses so close together.

There is an easy solution, though. You simply have to look at older developments (and horse neighborhoods, of course) where the lots are larger.

Finally! Something you say that I'm totally 100% on board with.

So, let's blow up every other house in Las Vegas*. And combine the parcels so everyone doubles their lot size.

Just make sure we blow up the ODD numbered houses, thanksomuch. I live at an even numbered house.


* With luck, those people come from San Diego, and are pining for their homeland anyway.

I keep hearing this complaint, but every time I go east, as soon as you cross the Mississippi the houses in towns are built right up to the street and about six inches apart. I know there are a lot of rural homes on five acre, or more, tracts back there, but those are people who can afford them. Even those are generally cheaper than homes around here had been up until the last two or three years. Remember, Las Vegas as most of you know it, is only 20 years old. Even at 106, the original town is young. In other towns, homes are older than Las Vegas is, and they were built when there was no zoning. I haven't seen the inside of a lot of homes back east since I left there in the 60's, but the ones I have seen don't seem to have hardly any of the amenities that our houses have. I'll put my house and neighborhood against any most any in other parts of the country. No one has our wide streets, and most don't have our parking space. That's gotta count for something.

I don't need more yard work to do in 110 degree weather, thanks. Mine is about 7K sf and that's big enough. Leaving the yard work behind is one of the pluses to relocating to Vegas. I'd had more than enough mowing, shoveling, weeding, fertilizing 1+ acres.

Based on previous posts, I'd assume the answer is, "The ability to play a few chukkers of polo on said lot."
