What is less than 2% crime? Do you mean if they break into your house they take less than 2% of your stuff?

This city is such a strong magnet for the ungrounded, from the rest of the country, there's no surprises left!

Monday nite at work, a drunk homeless man was outside our facility, sleeping on a bench, he had just hitchhiked down from Elko, with just a plastic sack of clothes. He saw the Rehab word in our name and figured it was a detox rehab center. So, I steered him to Cheyenne, @2am, and instructed him how to get to LV Blvd, and from there he could go straight north to Main/Owns where there were homeless shelters, and if he took a left on Lake Mead he'd run into North Vista Hospital which could steer him to a Detox center!

Walking my ferret, even around my neighborhood at night, I run into these ungrounded, homeless types.

And the cities they are coming from? Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Good riddance!

Surprisingly, I've met a lot of people here that would probably fit nicely into that type of category.

Next thing we'll hear is that he has a "system" that is guaranteed to work vs. the casinos.

How about 0% crime?

Sounds like a passage from a Jim Morrison poem.
