>>507097203When I was growing up, it was Sin City. Candy Land for anyone who wanted to do whatever they wanted, and for good prices too.
Now... The football stadium, a new baseball stadium, the Golden knights arena, they keep pushing on new sports teams because that's what makes the megabucks. Circus and bread is ridiculously profitable, even if it's stretches the city to its limits.
What happened was the same thing that happens to so many major cities. More and more people come in, whether it's escaping California or coming in from Mexico they come in droves. The city keeps expanding to accommodate because everyone wants money. Landowners want that real estate money, the casinos want you to gamble your paychecks, liquor stores all over the place because remember, Sin City.
Back in the '40s and '50s. I would imagine that this city had some level of morals even if it was morally ambiguous. But the degradation of the society out here that has been happening since the early 2000s is shocking.
Ultra Rich or those with Mommy and Daddy's credit card can have fun here.
Everyone else either works to supply their entertainment, or struggles to support their community and the blazing 110° f heat.
There's no fucking water to support all this and yet it goes on. Las Vegas has done an amazing job at recycling every drop of piss they can get out of you because we need every last fucking drop so we don't die of thirst.
Though I'm sure if it was profitable to let people drop like flies from dehydration, some asshole at a Fremont kiosk would sell it.
