I found a report (previous link) that says the marijuana laws are too strict in NV. Gosh, that doesn't bother me - - my idea of freedom is low taxes, and NV is right-on on that score. Hope the free staters don't get diverted by secondary issues.

Nah. The real problem is that the FedGov owns most of Nevada.

This comes from a Nevada State webpage.

I moved from NYC to Las Vegas and it's like night and day. The analysis that was posted is on balance correct but draws poor conclusions in some cases.

For example, it's easy to find a job in LV. The idea that new residents are outpacing jobs was a sloppy conclusion based on very limited thinking.

For example, it didn't factor in retirees, who flock to relocate to LV because of the nice weather and low cost of living. They are not in the work force.

Also, if a small family of 4 moves into town, 2 of which are job-force age, often only one of the 4 will work (one homemaker, 2 children, and breadwinner). The analysis above doesn't even pretend to factor that into the equasion. Sloppy.

As for MJ laws, that's no big deal to me - I agree it should be contraband. Taxes are low in NV, and quality of life is good.

I made a good move here. I do not regret it at all. ;-)

Freedom is freedom and government oppression is oppression. I don't use anything stronger than coffee myself but laws against vegetables are silly, expensive, wasteful and are diametrically opposed to the concept of freedom I hold dear which is that I get to decide how I live my life so long as I don't cause harm to others.

Drug laws are morally wrong and I object to being forced to support them.

You didn't read very carefully.

A cut off of 1.3 million residents was set early. This was based on the mathematics of the project. 20,000 people will have more impact in a state of 500,000 like Wyoming than in one of 2,000,000 like Nevada.

Basically it failed the population cut. That, and not the drug laws disqualified it.
