Key points to be
aware of

• Another historic Las Vegas neighborhood will be wiped out, after just losing our neighbors at Desert Inn Estates. Our golf course community has been home to stars like Ginger Rogers, Diana Ross, Shirley MacLaine, Sammy Davis Jr., Mac Davis, and many others.
• We lose the already minuscule amount of natural, open area on the East side.
• Our views will be destroyed by a sub-division, which was never the intended purpose of the land historically, or by design. Many of our homes have oversized rear windows, intended for the view, not for neighbors to view us.
• Traffic congestion, water use, and garbage will increase significantly in an already crowded area.
• The value of our homes will drop significantly overnight and stay that way (in an already depressed housing market) over the next few YEARS while the land use is in “limbo” and any new buyers will be very wary of what will be built in their new backyard!
