Yeah, that's part of the problem. There's zero accountability. And in Vegas, local government is only concerned with economic improvement -- everything else takes a backseat.

We're talking about a city where the former mayor (whose wife is now the current mayor) made it illegal to give food to homeless people. Swear to God.

Really? That's.. pretty bad. Sounds like China during the Olympics.

My first reaction was "vote the bastards out," but then: casinos. Maybe you can get a tech company to help crowdfund a new mayor who will constrain tech investment? Wait...
