We took one whiff of California's tax and housing regime and bought a house in Las Vegas. So what if it's a charnel house for three months every year, the lack of state tax and reasonable housing prices make it worth it.
- raverbashing 8y ago> So what if it's a charnel house for three months every year Wait, what? Looking at that definition I still don't understand
- bsagdiyev 8y agoI think the reference was towards the ridiculously hot summers Vegas can see. When I went in the beginning of June for my birthday San Diego was in the 70s and Vegas was topping out over 110.
- tartoran 8y agoFrom my one experience in vegas 110 is quite bearable due to low the humidity. How did you take the heat?
- bsagdiyev 8y agoI took it fine, I used to work outdoors in the High Desert (Victorville/Apple Valley/Lucerne Valley) area doing point-to-point wireless installs. Summers there can be just as brutal. Quick edit: not as brutal, but close. Vegas regularly sees higher temps.
- kchoudhu 8y agoIt's fine. We have our industrial air conditioning units and swimming pools, and there is plenty to do indoors for the duration of the summer.
- kchoudhu 8y agoMight have misused the phrase -- I was simply referring to how hot it gets during the summer.
- hcknwscommenter 8y agoReally? Do you enjoy outdoor activities?
- kchoudhu 8y agoVegas hiking is good in fall, winter and spring. The heat necessarily means that you limit yourself to indoor activities during the summer, and that's just fine by me!
- nradov 8y agoIt will be interesting to see what happens to Las Vegas when the water supply runs even lower than it is now.
- kchoudhu 8y agoGoing out to Lake Meade isn't exactly reassuring these days, but the Vegas water district has made huge strides in reducing water consumption: the rebate program to get people to put in more natural foliage in their backyards has been a smashing success, there are more programs coming on stream make sure that per capita water usage keeps trending down. I'm not too worried about the future, to be honest.
