Both Reno and Los Vegas are close to Nevada, but they aren't really Nevada, just suburbs of California

First of all, it's LAS Vegas...there's only one. LOS means "those", LAS means "the".

Secondly, unless you have lived here for at least a few years, and are a local, we'uns don't give you the right to say things like that.

Having said it, FYI, we in Las Vegas worry about that a lot. I've never thought it to be a problem in Reno though. Not when I lived there anyway.

Population decline happened and continues to happen for a variety of reasons. Many moved here - seduced by new cheap, big homes built by greedy developers. Promises of little towns becoming some yuppy (pardon the 80's term) enclave, lured many from CA. Then the housing bust happened, jobs became scarce and people left. I live in Dayton where, on my street, people continue to lose their homes. Every other house on my street is a foreclosure. And who wants to live next to that? Infrastructure fell apart and crime - well, it was always bad to start with. But it just got worse. Heroin is the drug of choice for young people - and I mean teens still in middle and high school. Nevada relied on the big housing boom - gambling and tourism. They don't have any idea or focus on what to do currently.
I'm sorry for your situation, sagewitch.

I thought that Vegas did well in the last depression. Wasn't the skivy that people needed a fantasy release?

Maybe, years back, the more wealthy frequented Vegas, and now they are dependent on the dwindling middle class?

I know things are hard but kids are not helping their lot any by making it harder by taking drugs. Often, if you keep struggling to get on a course to economic stability and never, ever give up, something breaks for you.

Didn't you hear the news?

The banks aren't allowed to give out bad loans anymore, so no one can borrow a half a million to try to flip houses for the next sucker who borrows a half a million.

Which basically also put a hault to developers and the real estate construction industries which were fueling all the growth.

No "los" and "las" mean the same thing: the (plural) or those. Los is masculine, las is feminine.

You may have taken Spanish in school so I don't want to argue, but I know that LOS Angeles means THOSE Angels, LAS Vegas means THE Meadows. I'm probably wrong but I consider Angels as feminine. ???
