Let bygones, be bygones... They're paying a pretty penny between HUD and resort fees to reside there, and from articles I have read, nearly $600-800 for per month, per unit. Total up all that revenue, and that's enough to buy a river every year.. lol
i think the lesson here is....... dont build a lake in the desert. also dont buy a luxury lakefront house on a man made lake in the desert. pretty simple stuff.
And of course, only an idiot would even consider building such a development (with a big lake) as this when a drought is already happening in the region. But then again you always have bigger idiots with money willing to buy into such a devolvement after a drought has already been declared in the region.
By all means, trust the developers. They have no skin in the game. They would never steer people wrong. I mean, what would they have to gain, to mislead people? It’s fine. Everything’s great.
The important thing is the price of water. And we all better start thinking about the PRICE of a gallon of water! What is that? 40 cents? A dollar, forty? Time for our grown up pants 👖 to be put back on!!!! ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️ If we'll do EVERYTHING with the Lord's blessing, we'll prosper? But letting men openly fk in public doesn't endear us to Christ. Nor allowing them to 'school' our children on homo-ism, either!!! 🙄
@@brianarnone933 you know how it ends. The question is WHEN? When will Celine Dion's money run out? Lake Las Vegas is inhabited by multi-millionaires. Collectively, how do you think they got that water in the first place? THEY BOUGHT IT. THEY PAID FOR EVERY GALLON. It wasn't allowed to just flow in from the lake freely. Wait to see how what ends? You sound like you expect to see an OK CORRAL movie made out of this! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 It ends when their multi billions stop buying the water anymore. Simple.
Pretty soon you won't have to worry about cutting back you're going to turn on your faucets and there's nothing going to come out. But just remember all those high rolling luxury types need that lakefront property out in the desert. I mean you can't ride jet skis in the sand right??? Lol
Or how the border is left wide open. Over 2m illegals have crossed since Biden stopped construction on the wall. Where do majority of them reside. South western states.... its insane what is going on. And Legal citzens will be faced with population control next 10-12 years.
@@nasty3145 I agree and its just sickening how this asshole Biden wants anyone to come here and bring their cartel/ghetto ways and lifestyle, thats why California especially, but all 50 states are so fu&&ed up its despicable.
Same developer that showed condos with balconies big enough for table and chairs and then delivered condos with balconies too small to stand out on. Lawyers get richer.
Sell? It will all be abandoned like the rest of the decrepit Landscapes everywhere you go in the USA that Americans are proud to call historic, so they don't feel embarrassed by the rest of the world.
We are all doomed. This is the current mentality everywhere. Vegas should have remained cool, like in the 60's. More, more more has lead to less less less.
Then it is time to cut off the water to 90% of southern Cali because they can use the money they use for the illegal aliens and make some desalting plants on their shores of the ocean instead of stealing the water that the desert states in order to survive need
@@rellrell2924 hope not. That would destroy the delicate eco system of the Mississippi Delta. No need in the Southwest draining the Mississippi dry like they have the Colorado River.
Vanessa, may I ask you to perhaps ask them, where will the water come from since they say there's no problem. And do you suppose the 1.5 billion they siphoned from lake Mead last year may have, just maybe contributed to the crisis we're having there?
no can do phoenix san diego los angeles doomed as well san diego gets all ALL of it's water from mead and all electricity frm hoover dam and what's gonna happen first very soon is the dam will shutdown all transformers meaning no electricity to san diego vegas phoenix Los Angeles has aqueducts still but those are drying up as well The huge casinos in vegas have they're own underground water wells but again no water source means no water
When mead & powell reach dead pool in 2023. Vegas will be installing a big straw in the deepest part of that little pond, then proceed to drink every single drop lol. IMO 2023 is going to be a scary year.😔.
Summer 2022 isn't over yet, could happen sooner than you think. Evaporation becomes like a feed back loop and the lake will begin to drain at an exponential rate. It seems like it is already happening.
Actually, isn't the newest "straw" that's already in Mead lower than the intakes at Hoover? If so, then Vegas can still pull water (as it sends it recycled back into Mead) while Downstream users can't get water (cough, Los Angeles).
The number of Farms that are going to be deprived of water down stream is immense and this water is used for recreation and ascetics - What about the food??
When there is no more water there will be no more people. That's how every single city has died that ran out of water. And if they are going to sacrifice other water from the regular community to fill that rich people lake then they're just putting a big fat Band-Aid on their problem and causing a wound on everyone else's problem and then if this continues the cities that run out of water just die. Only a little slower. So how do you want it people, do you want to have your luxury or do you want to have drinking water? Your priorities indicate what happens.
The developer doesn't want to to raise panic with the depositors ! If I'm out a couple hundred thousand dollars I'll walk away better than the alternative !
The title is a play on words; sure the lake isn’t being filled, but it’s still being maintained at a level to satisfy the extremely rich and powerful. They couldn’t say that “No water is going into the lake,” because it’d be lying about their culpability.
And where do you think that water is coming from even how they say they bought billons of gallons of water from Henderson do they think Las Vegas people are that stupid that Henderson gets their fkin water from lake mead
Here in central Cal, we are building large track homes and water parks to prevent the drought from escalating. Maybe you should see if it will work for you too. We have very smart people here...
Smart would be not moving to the desert and realizing those cities shouldn't be there in the first place. Smart (after owning up to the first part) would also be selling while there's still some water and your property still has value. Stupid would be thinking you can outsmart mother nature in the long run...
doesn't make sense. How has Cali really handled the celebrities who are still using water like crazy for their megamansions? like S. Stallone who is #1 of wasting the most water or cali just NOW started water patrols (NV patrols have been going for 20 yrs) Is Cali passing laws requiring non essential grass to be replaced with artificial turf?
Good reporting Vanessa, thank you for your work. If I have drip line police driving around looking to see if I water my cacti at the wrong time of day I want to see how ALL of my neighbours are using their water then too. Let's see where this water is REALLY going
Oh, i guess we know now why lake Mead is running out of water. Las Vegas has to fill a man made lake for the rich...lol...Nothing lasts forever! Better sell quick!
Glad you asked😎 We were curious too, just filmed it this week and did a video overlay between July and August: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tNiVT5i4oXs.html looks filled to them brim & maybe even back splashing into the wash
The entire Great Basin will need ocean pipes with desalination on a level that is comparable to the Colorado River just to refill the empty reservoirs.
@@robhogenson8225 it’s possible to use it. Just very expensive. A 1,000 feet of elevation, massive electrical demand. Canals or pipe. Ocean pumps. Concrete. Dynamite.
Because there is a water shortage we are going to take extra. And because there may be a drinking water shortage we are going to take more to prevent evaporation from depleting the drinking water we use for lake water. And yes they have alternative plans to drill a very deep well and deplete the ground water,,, The water table has sunk 250 feet in the last 40 years,,, so we are going to take even more to piss it into a boating lake and sprinkle it on our golf course and lawns.
A fake lake in the middle of the desert. What could possibly go wrong ? Purchasing water to fill a recreation lake in the middle of a drought.....ideocracy indeed.
So…….where will the water be coming from? Is it fair that residents of Las Vegas have given up lawns and use way less water while Lake LV residents get to have a picturesque lake and water sports just because people of wealth live there? What about Lake Mead? I guess Lake LV residents will move when the water’s gone
This piece doesn't tell us much. Why hasn't local media dug more into the broader issue here? What are people (e.g., officials) going to do as the drought gets worse? How are people (e.g., farmers, residents) adapting to circumstance? There have been many news stories about water levels (e.g., Lake Mead, Lake Powell) over the past year. Most have focused on the dramatic elements (e.g., the marina having to move, human remains that surface as the water recedes), nothing more.
Yup. Build it in the desert. Everything will work out fine. It was doomed from the beginning. I would start looking at moving states before long. I hear New England has some pretty great humidity
"We have enough money to buy all the water we want and to bribe any official that objects to us wasting so much water that the common folk and farmers desperately need to grow food." ---Lake Las Vegas
Trust me people are watching this very closely now and that God damn Lake better not fill up because the rest of us are suffering now we are watching that
Hay that lake is full only full lake I've seen in many states it pays to be rich the poor will pay the penalty for over usage while rich live like kings
If ya drive over the bridge heading north on lake Mead Dr. You'll see lake Las Vegas on the left and lake Mead on the right, below the bridge you'll see a wash/river flowing into Mead from lake Las Vegas... Water is flowing into Mead all year round from lake Vegas.
For most of the year, the Virgin River, Muddy River, and Las Vegas Wash contribute a mere three percent of Lake Mead’s water. About ninety percent of Las Vegas’ water comes from Lake Mead....
Yeah right it's going to be fixed in three weeks. Maybe if you get 3 weeks of steady rain. Check out mead and hoover dam. The lake is dropping daily, the dam is about to be useless and people keep on building and wasting the little water you have.
