Legalize drugs within the state?
Seriously though, the reason why there is low employment in Las Vegas is because... it's Las Vegas.
It's a city based around tourism, and tourism is way down.
So to not Nobody wants to move their families there due to all the gambling and reputation it's a place you want to visit, not live.
As a result the school system sucks so even if you live in Vegas and have kids you wouldn't think of raising them in Las Vegas unless you are tied to your job AND have the money for Private school.
It's not really school spending based though since a bunch of schools spend less yet get better then Nevada's amazing graduation rate of 44%. It's just more an issue of no one caring or focusing on it.
So as a result, almost anyone in the city remotely "coming up" would go out of there way to leave.
Honestly, the only people who i've met that live in Las Vegas are College students, gambling/drug addicts and people who want to leave but can't leave either due to family or finanical obligations.
Which is saying something... because i currently live in Las Vegas. Thankfully I only have to stay here about 3 more years.
So when I was joking and saying "Legalize Drugs". I was actually serious. As it's probably the only way to increase employment, by adding to Nevada's appeal as a tourist state.
A lot of the child hunger cases I wouldn't be surprised were due to parent mismanaegment.
I don't know about the minium social saftey net thing though... have all kinds of people come in who have more on their foodstamp cards then I spend on food in a month for two people... and then put a couple hundred in on the machines every couple weeks.
