As I was playing around with my iPod Touch, I stumbled upon Time Magazine’s iPod-based website. The first article I found was a cover-piece about Las Vegas. It was a very interesting article. Here’s the link:

Along with the article, there was an associated video that followed a local real estate agent to two foreclosed properties, one of which was in Newport Lofts [recent blog post]. You’ve got to see this video. Half of the units are empty, according to the real estate agent. It’s startling what somebody was able to do at one of the lofts (change the locks?!?!). They sneak into house later in the video to see the shape it’s in. Here’s the video link:

Have a great weekend everybody!

In Business Las Vegas reports in this week’s edition that Clark County’s population “dropped during the past year after decades as one of America’s fastest growing counties”.
So much for our tagline.
In the last year, the county lost about 10,000 people. Most folks believe this is the first drop in population in nearly 40 years.
Here’s the data (according to the Clark County Comprehensive Planning Department):
2008 | 1,986,146 |
2007 | 1,996,542 |
2006 | 1,912,654 |
2005 | 1,815,700 |
2004 | 1,747,025 |
2003 | 1,641,529 |
2002 | 1,578,332 |
2001 | 1,498,279 |
2000 | 1,428,690 |
1999 | 1,321,312 |
1998 | 1,246,193 |
