Does not meet my expectations -
10/28/2007I moved to las vegas 3 months ago started out in summerlin and then to north las vegas,and it does not meet my expectations. most people that love it here have relatives that live here. If you do not come with your own people believe me you will just be an outsider and stick out like a sore thumb. The people here are not friendly, kind, or family orientated. for the most part they are very rude, and play a lot of games. One of there biggest games is on the road. a driver will go out of there way to cut you off and go in the wrong direction, just to get in front of you. I guess they have more time to waste than I have. Or the other biggest thing even with grandma and grandpa on the road as a driver, is to speed up and get in front of you just to slow down and make sure you and the flow of traffic are behind them. then they have the ones that will sit at a stop sign or light and wait there until someone comes behind them and go really slow then try to race the light so that you can get caught at the light and they will go 3 lanes over to make a turn in the direction they are really going in, just crazy. Its not just one, come out here and you will see 95% do it. I feel bad for the people here they need something to control so they play in traffic. The spirit of nevada after being here is just evil. When you do find nice people that I compliment when i meet them, you will learn they feel the same way and are only nice because they are from somewhere else and only been here a short time themselves.
Becareful when renting or buying a homes here. There are so many blaten scams going on its incredible. I thought being from new york city I seen it all when it comes to scams. The problem here is there are not a whole lot of laws here. So almost anything goes. For single woman, this is definitely not the place to be especially if your african american. Most black men here only want white women or hispanic woman that is if black men are your preference, I can't speak on the other nationalities. The spirit of the town over all is tense. As for property you get a small house with barely no lot for $250,000 and up, and if you do get some house and lot the bedrooms are like match boxes. This is suppose to be a tax free state, but don't let that fool you. Tax free only means if you have to work, no state tax is taken out of your check, but they get their money in other ways that you can't write off. I just recently found out I could write off a porti
