The "house" always wins... Vegas waited on man's greed and mammoth structures to coerce people in living there. But, the livelihood is harsh because it's >115 F in the summer and colder than normal in the winter... Besides all of LA would jump over to Vegas until they offered some fantastical life that they could not back up over time. Many of the 2nd strikers from California would move to Vegas that does not have 3 strikes rules... Lastly, Nevada corporations were formed, who barely had to pay any state taxes, but be based somewhere else...So Vegas does not shock me...
Detroit and Atlanta, those do cause my eyebrows to raise, because for Detroit, when did they ever get out of their doldrums... And Atlanta, it's problems were predictable. It was not a matter of if, but when, unfortunately... They growth superseded their capacity to maintain a city...
But, hey, Los Angeles might be next--who knows these days... Hayle, San Diego might be next...
