    • @kennixox262
      @kennixox262 25 днів тому +1

      Auto insurance has always been high here due to the lax enforcement of drunk drivers. While half million is near average for the price of a home, you can still find homes in the 300K range, there are plenty of them! They might not be here in Summerlin, they may not have a pool or four bedrooms but they are around. The far North West and North Las Vegas probably have the cheapest homes in the whole area.

      Insurance is high because there are so many uninsured drivers in Vegas that insurance companies are pulling their coverage from Clark County causing less competition. It's one of the more likely cities to get in an accident, not be at fault, and have to pay for everything because the at fault driver isn't covered.

      @@surfnhood How true, a then brand new, less than 3,000 miles 911 totaled by a guy in a pick up, three days shy of his 18th birthday, was drunk/high, revoked driving license and no insurance. We sued, won and collected. Another time, Christmas eve a woman pulling out of a parking lot attempting to make a left hand turn was looking right as she suddenly pulled out in front of me. The auto-crash braking helped a lot but totaled my car and her's. Naturally, she was a fault, and the bare minimum of insurance coverage. That cost me over $30,000 out of pocket to replace the car. Unrelated, a rock ding last summer in the drivers door, a big ding, that cost me out of pocket over $3,000. I only make claims when it is a huge loss. Still, a lot of drunks in Las Vegas, lack of coverage and a lot of cars without license plates or the window sticker in the front window.

    I know it's cliche, but there is something to say about the dry heat there. I've lived my entire life in Nebraska. We get ridiculously cold amd snowy in the winter, but also crazy hot and humid in the summer. Although we don't have the heat as long as Las Vegas does, it's still so damn humid and unbearable. We were in Las Vegas at the end of June to see Beatles Love before it closed. It was over 110 F everyday. However it was only about 10% humidity. We did the typical walking everywhere we were going. Yes it was hot, but even the long walk from Horseshoe to Rio wasn't that bad. Glass of water before leaving Horseshoe and another one when we got to Rio. Not really that miserable at all. At home, that same time it was in the high 90s, barely touching 100, but they had 80%-90% humidity. That makes the air so thick and heavy you can't breathe. You can certainly feel the Vegas heat as soon as you step outside, but in humid heat, you can never get away from it. It's sticky and gross. It zaps your energy almost immediately and it's hard to breathe and cool off. After the 4 days we were there, I would definitely take the dry Las Vegas heat over the humid Midwest heat anyday.

    I have lived in Vegas for 25+ years, agree with everything in this video. It is a great town, though not for everyone. I could say so much. One thing you said that I want to add to. The Airport is sooo convenient. I lived in the Henderson area, it is a 15 minute drive to Harry Reid Airport. My work had me travel quite a bit, I could roll out of bed at 5:00 AM and be on a 6:30 flight consistently without any issue. Added bonus, my house is nowhere near the flight path, it is a very quiet suburban community. Added bonus: I am 10 - 15 minutes from the center of the strip depending on traffic. Summerlin (opposite side of town) is far less convenient to the Airport, but it is a bit more upscale and has more amenities. Since you are a Real Estate guy, how about a video on the different neighborhoods in Vegas? I'll be you'd get a lot of views.

Electric has gotten really high in the summer. We have no state income tax, but our car registration is very high. Buy an expensive car, and you are paying a high fee to the state every year. Groceries are very high as well. The master planned communities are very crowded. If you like living very close to neighbors, this is the place.

      Newport is AWESOME but super costly. We wish we could live there but in a house which is at least a million dollars or 2 or 5! We visit often....even last week, to escape the 115 temps. LOVE NEWPORT BEACH and HUNTINGTON! Sand is better at Newport though! :)

    Nice video -- enjoyed your perspective. But I had to laugh when you referred to California as "anti-business." Yes, it's unquestionably a more regulatory state than Nevada -- in some ways that's good (protections for employees, for example), and in some ways it is too burdensome on business owners. But "anti-business" is laughably wrong. A huge array of the most successful enterprises in the history of world were started in -- and still operate in -- California. California's economy dwarfs that of most *countries* in the world, including India, the U.K., and France. No "anti-business" state could have such an incredible record of wildly successful businesses and economic growth. There's the stereotype -- and then there's the underlying reality.

    Comparison Nevada to Minnesota:
    1 Weather: Nevada wins except for low humidity. Las Vegas freezing temperatures are colder than the same temperature in MN.. but no to low snow.
    2 No State Income tax, Nevada wins. State Sales taxes are practically the same though MN doesn’t tax clothing sales.
    3 Low property tax. Nevada wins but Context is Needed. The percentage rate is 4th lowest, but the Annual average rate is 15th lowest, because houses are higher in value. Average for Nevada is $435,000 with annual rate of $2800, vs MN at $335,000 and $3800. Higher home price means your going to pay high amounts of money.. but still a savings.
    4 No Grocery sales tax. TIE MN also doesn’t tax groceries (exceptions include candy)
    5 Business friendly. Nevada wins. MN is business friendly as well, but items like property taxes turn businesses off.
    6 Career Opportunities. TIE - MN and NV both have jobs not getting filled, plenty of jobs available.
    7 Travel Options. MN may win. Minneapolis has an international hub airport. I don’t know if you can fly from Europe directly to Las Vegas or if Customs is handled in another city first. Minneapolis/St Paul International has Customs on site. Travel to other states and Canada is just as easy.
    8 Cost of Living. TIE
    9 Best of Both Worlds. Nevada wins only because Nevada has gotten more diverse in things to do. Minnesota has longer history.
    10 Entertainment/Amenities. Nevada wins hands down. Las Vegas has become more diverse in things to do in the last 30 years. 30 years ago MN won with the non-casino items.
    11 Local Discounts. Nevada wins, MN doesn’t treat locals any different.
    12 Unique Lifestyle. No winner. Everywhere has something unique to living there. Depends on your personal outlook/desires.
    13 Culture. No winner. Minnesota has been catching up to NV, legalized prostitution in Pahrump may be the only difference. Cultural differences depends on the individual’s perspective.
    Overall Nevada wins.

    I do not believe essential groceries are taxed [edit: in any state] (unless it's hot/cooked, then it's taxed) but LV is still lower than some SoCal places, 10%+ in some cities (e.g. Long Beach, CA)
    Just moved here mid-June from SoCal, liking it a lot. Used to visit at least once a year, now a resident. Rent is definitely cheaper, but as others have pointed out, auto insurance surprised me.
