I can't believe how many people from Las Vegas think that every problem they have is isolated to their City and no where else. I just have to scratch my head and wonder if they ever see any news from other parts of the Country, because it sure doesn't seem like it.

Your 100% correct! I have family across the US and they are all affected! I have a cousin in Florida that just got laid off working for a company for years. I also have family in the SF bay area and they work at Seagate (hard disk drives) and they are cutting back hours and moving most of the pre-production overseas because of low demand world wide. This is a country wide problem and not just a Las Vegas problem.

You think that's bad? Back in high school, I was sitting in the quad (aka "the DMZ") with my friends having lunch. We were listening to a Cheech & Chong tape, and I refluxed chocolate milk thru my nose over one of their bits.

Los Guys are going to be at the Pearl show room at the Palms on October 18, at 7:30pm. I'm going to try and go. Anyone else up for it?

Ya but what you dont realise is Vegas is on the top 5 worse for forclosures in the country, and the economy is the worst of its kind.. so you obviosly havent been paying attention either

I figure you were going to note how good the ABQ forclosure stats are, so I'm glad you weren't. The last thread was hijacked remember. What mr. dracula was saying it true, its just not Las Vegas and if Las Vegas has a bad forclosure ratio, it really doesn't mean the sky is falling.

On a more serious note, sales volume is at 2 (possibly 3) year highs right now. Keep in mind I am not saying everything is rosy. People are hurting all over, and not just in Vegas. Not quite as bad as you would like to portray though. So do yourself and the rest of us a favor, quit spewing this thoughtless negativity (or at least back it up with some statistical evidence) and get your homeless butt down to the carwash. They will hire you, I swear.

FWIW, I was truly homeless for awhile so if your moniker is not accurate you should really change it as making light of a situation that serious is pretty lame. I hitched a ride out here from CA, did the couch tour for abit, slept outside more than inside, and ate every other day if I was lucky (did not panhandle). I worked while I was homeless and turned it around. Now I am a husband, father, 2 time homeowner, and somewhat succesful. Where else but Vegas. Yeah, Vegas baby!!!!!!!
That is an inspiring story. Despite all of our faults, we live in an amazing country...
