If you have roaches, spray!
Star Rating - 1/13/2007
I noticed that the 2 people bashing Henderson did not post their email address for return comments. This is typical with people trying to sabotage and run.
For Anny and Joe’s information lets clear the air.

If you want no traffic, clean air, no heat, no crime then may I suggest Allakaket, Alaska. I don’t believe you will find any of the above issues their. As for living in a populated city you may wish to avoid this as it seems not to be conducive with your expectations I life.

If your speaking of dust then yes wind does blow up the desert dust and with all the construction in Las Vegas there is more dust than if all construction was stopped. Clark County Air Quality has a dust abatement program for all construction sites. This includes posting a phone number on a sign at every construction site where blowing dust may be reported to the authorities for investigation and citation.
