North Las Vegas has gotten a not so lovely reputation over the years but those times are starting to change! North Las Vegas officials are taking the plunge to make the neighborhoods and overall section of the valley a safer place to live. With efforts to reduce criminal activity, squatters and fires, the city has begun demolition to many homes.

“The initiative started out with a list of 10 properties that had together prompted 142 calls for service to police. Each had at least one fire on the property, and some had as many as three, mostly started by squatters who had altered electrical wiring or started campfires in the homes.”

Neighbors have agreed that it is much nicer seeing an empty lot over an old beat up home. Read more about this great effort on the Las Vegas Sun website: North Las Vegas bulldozing blighted homes that are crime magnets
