Can you show a verified example where the complaint of one person caused the price to go down now. Now being in a matters of minutes or hours. Not next week or next month.

The reason that they go to LV is that it is close to home (SoCal) and then they get to avoid state income tax. They still get to be close to friends/family. 3 hour drive through the Mojave being all that separates them from LA and its suburbs. As of yet, it is getting bluer as it also has one thing but most places in that area do not have... supply of housing and a relatively low price.

Anti-male.... you are the typical internet forum poster who can't help but make assumptions. I love how seeing the writing on the wall makes me anti-whatever. So when I see a rain cloud coming..I must hate the area that is going to get rained upon.

Except that it does. The reason for these changes in pro sports was that folks wanted more offense.. higher scores. Inevitable evolution. Labor saving technology, the internet, and greater economic fortunes are going to give rise to certain realities.. inevitable evolution. I have a son and I teach him to adapt and make the most of what he has right now.. Wanting a utopian fantasy that does not exist is for 20-pt. IQ types.

You remind me of the folks that complain about the DH in baseball or the lack of physicality in pro basketball. The world has changed.. much to your chagrin and it will keep changing whether you like it or not. Your whining from the sidelines changes nothing.

Doomsday theorist.... and that concludes my taking you seriously.

well as of yet, the data says that they are. No, not all CA expats vote Democrat but most that move to LV are. The more Conservative ones go to West TX, Reno, or Boise ID. My office does a ton of research on this topic.. not so much the politics but where they go, what businesses they open, what income streams they have, etc.

How do you know that I say it? Have any direct quotes... My quantitative approach at least provides some data not just speculation that can't be verified or proven.

Sorry but I do not buy into this quasi-conspiracy theory that you are implying. Where trans folks and trans activists are violently attacking folks frequently (once an hour or so) and they are being conveniently ignored by the big bad media. This is unprovable hence why you say it.

This attack is still a relatively rare event. Using a search engine, look up "Trans activists attack" and filter by unique values... you will come up with a 2 digit number at best. 24.000 incorporated cities and over the time frame... relatively rare.

who knows, FL, may go blue some day. I do not know nor care. NV used to be a solid red state but the influx of southern californians to Las Vegas has changed that.

I would say not. No real difference between expectations now versus in 2019.

Hmmm... lets look at the definition of NOW. Do you have any issues with this definition? Lets start with that... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/now a : at the present time or moment Now is the time for action. b : in the time immediately before the present thought of them just now c : in the time immediately to follow : FORTHWITH

My point in the beginning (easily verified) was that my complaining about gas prices is not change it NOW... Lets read that last word again... And here you come to refute it (easily verified).. So that tells me that you disagree with my claim that my complaining can't change the price NOW... I included that three letter word for a reason and yet you conveniently overlook it.. the reason is simple.

Yes, City of reno voted to do something about them but only those that were not up to snuff basically. So if they were operating and within certain areas.. they were allowed to continue. Look, we are in agreement about it mostly being a matter of choice. However, that is not the point. The point is that politics is not to blame for our relatively high homeless population. Ask anyone that goes downtown regularly and ask them what their primary issues are and they will say.. 1. too many homeless and 2. not enough parking. The second one is common to all major cities. As for the homeless, I have laid out why we have relatively more per capita than other cities. There are only so many police and they can't be everywhere at every time. It is not about having a bleeding heart for them. It is about understanding why there are so many and what to do about them given current laws and amount of resources. If you must know.. I was homeless once. It was Salt Lake City from august 1999 to late november 1999. I will not give the whole story now. Just now that I have zero patience for panhandlers. If I detect (which I have quite the nose for) that someone is young, able-bodied, etc.... my blood pressure goes way up and I want to knock them out.

In the western US, the primary driver of high housing prices is that demand exceeds supply in the short term. In CA, this is compounded by a very wide disparity in income. The top of the food chain can easily afford $4500 per month for a mortgage while the bottom 20% can't even come close. This reality predates the current interest rate hike.

Back to the point, Life is not as taxing as it used to be. The need for males superior strength has declined. There is no unringing this bell. Labor saving technology, the internet, greater economic fortunes, and technology as a whole have changed life.

Your responses are equally ridiculous. I post something that is somewhat immutable such as the sky is blue, 2+2= 4, Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, etc. One comment, post, vote, complaint does not change the outcome all by itself. You know this to be true. Can you say that? No.. the reason as to why is quite simple.

Reno and NV as a whole's increased access to alcohol goes back to 1945. That is when the statute was put in place that made it to where there was no time limit on alcohol purchases. Second, most states have limits on the number of liquor licenses. In Idaho, it is based on the zip code. Only so many can be given out in a zip code. In MT. it is tied to population. Only so many per 5,000 or so in population. In NV.. all you have to do is to have a business license ($65 fee) and then be able to purchase the liquor license. This is between $2500 and $5000. After that is settled, It is fairly simple to start selling it. Lastly, the sales tax in NV is 4.6% and not nearly as onerous on the paperwork as that of CA, OR, or especially UT. Next, casinos.... this makes for a steady, dependable supply chain of liquor. So if said distributor adds another account.. fairly simple task. So, there you have it. We have 24 - hour access to it, ease of supply, relatively low cost, and a steady demand. As for marijuana, yes it is legal (relatively) here. However, the homeless problem predates this by 20 years. Last item... what do people do in Casinos? Hmmm... Most rational people know that the odds are fixed and that it is a colossal waste of money. However, your average low income or homeless person thinks that they can get lucky. And what happens when they are not lucky? Their meager resources go up in smoke. About the weekly motels, they represent the only way besides a homeless shelter for the low income and homeless to get housing. No credit check, no rental history needed, no deposits, and somewhat close to where they want to be. Even if someone is mentally ill, they are still capable of holding a job and affording these at the 2010 prices. Keep in mind that the jobs that they will take are in restaurant and retail which are historically low wage industries especially in NV. Average weekly wage in Naics 72 in 2022q3 in Washoe county pre tax was $636. https://gizmodo.com/how-much-a-bottle-of-whiskey-costs-in-every-state-1650381482

You are amusing at best. Unlike you and WCM.. I can and will answer yes or no questions.. even if I do not like the answer. No need to "beat around the bush".

Ok, I am wrong then. My very Conservative grandfather who served in WWII had no respect or patience for those who wanted to keep talking about war. His thinking was that by viewing it as "the glory days", we were being hypocrites. If it was so terrible, which he thought it was, then we should stop talking about it with such reverence. Behind closed doors, he would tell me about how reliving it was just their way of wanting a fight.. a fight that these visitors were too old/frail to fight.

When I used the word, "revise", it infers the following, " xyz event happened in 1910 and it involved Jane Doe" and the need to say anything but that. Leave it up to the reader to take whatever they want from it. Events happen, people are terrible.. no need to paint it in any particular light.

Maybe I am over-generalizing but types like you that I encounter online really relish the idea of a good fight. They need to have a bad guy to hate and fight against and not just online or sit in their homes and whine about.

I like that my education was completely free of religion. In high school, they offered what was called Seminary but it was across the street and was for no credit. I would think that you want someone to come into a religion of their own volition.

"ridiculous".. that is code for "I am a coward". Its ok, you are one of many who talk big but crumble when asked a yes/no question.
