Radraja, you are very funny and perceptive. Don't you want to live the "hi life in this countries" scummiest city?

Okay, we still are upset they are carving up some of the mountains and there are too many duplicate businesses everywhere but it's 50 friggin' degrees here again today and no jobs. While you all are soaking up 107 degree temps, we made our decision that it was be Summerlin with its space and greenery and as soon as this house sells, we're on our way.

Hah...thanks, jjameson.

I also find it mildly troubling that a "fact" apparently doesn't need to be backed up legitimate sources anymore. That's news to me!

You will love it there... I have a few pools where Lake Mead ends and its a very nice area. In a few months, lake mead will actually be open to the 215 ( i don't know if that is a good thing or bad )

I live in the Hills, which is just across the street from Sun City.

Maybe I'll unknowingly run into you at the grocery store sometime!

I'm sure we have. Smith's or Fresh and Easy?

JJameson, you'll love the conveniences, everything is so close, but it is so nice and quiet at night. And since you love mountains, the views from here are wonderful.

This city is slowly becoming a toilet, the big boom is over and it is not going to come back as well as the fact that people are leaving here as quickly as they came

It is a town of illusion and that my friends is a fact. You can have it! I am outta here!
