Squatters have descended on every corner of the Las Vegas Valley, taking over empty houses in struggling working-class neighborhoods, in upscale planned communities like Summerlin, and everywhere in between. And they often bring a trail of crime with them.
While some unauthorized tenants are families seeking shelter, police officers here say they are more frequently finding chop shops, drug dealers and counterfeiters operating out of foreclosed homes. One man who the police say was squatting has been charged with murdering a neighbor during a burglary.

Wow! This world we live in is getting crazier by the minute.

That's 11 complaints a day for a whole year.

Any Vegas residents out there experience any of this?

Upstairs watching sports on the big TV.
I remember seeing VERY long extension cords in back yards of some Hispanic neighborhoods...


I can see future squatters all over Vegas.....there is definitely a serious segment of local disadvantaged society that is desperate enough, and yet Vegas is still building new housing....:shrug:
