You should be talking about White Hills, AZ (on the other side of Hoover Dam) before you bring up Coyote Springs.

Although, at this point, I don't see prices in Las Vegas or Clark County pushing people that far out anymore.

Not likely - No water - The owners actually sold the rights they had.

Downtown Summerlin is still in development and offers shopping and dining that is unmatched in suburban Las Vegas. I shop or dine at Downtown Summerlin multiple times a week and it is always very busy. With the addition of new Class A office space and Las Vegas Ballpark Howard Hughes is having to construct a new parking garage because it is so busy.

I’m very puzzled when you talk about the retail in Spring Valley. The retail in the area you mention is newer and nicer than what is all along Eastern. Eastern south of the 215 is full of fast food and junk stores. The shopping center on Horizon Ridge and Eastern alone has a Superpawn and Dollar Loan Center. Not exactly high class. In addition to always seeing homeless people and panhandling in that center. I can’t get gas at the Texaco there without being asked for money. I’m in that area frequently and can see the precipitous decline over the last five years.

I'm not sure this is saying much... Superpawn, Dollar Loan Center, fast food joints, and low end retail are ubiquitous in the entire valley, even in Summerlin.

I don't think it's any secret that this town is loaded with people who gamble away all their money and then pawn or seek a Payday advance to pay the bills or gamble some more.

There will be panhandlers anywhere the local population has disposable income. There's no point in panhandling somewhere that people don't have any money.

Too bad we can't just bus them to SF.

Las Vegas is getting more expensive nowadays, not only for homes but for other things also.

I think that's only one pathology. There are lots of differently way to be dysfunctional in Vegas. Only the gambling one is somewhat unique (and not even that unique any more.)

The bigger problem is that the dysfunctional (or the minimally functional, who then fall into dysfunction), are getting price out of Cali, and ending up in Vegas.

That's all? That's a great deal, considering places like Lakewood with mediocre schools gets you a 1200 sqft 3 bed 2 bath starter home built in the 1950s for $650,000 and up.

It's all relative, everywhere, which I think is the point. There's always a reason why prices are a certain way.
