+Ryuu Ainaki Fallout's universe has both an alternate future and alternate past, so it's possible that in the alternate past, at some point between the 1950s and 2077 the two combined. Or in the 200 years following the war, the popular idea of calling Paradise what most people call it, Las Vegas, went from being the colloquial name, to the real name. There are also technicalities because Las Vegas Valley is a thing, and the ZIP/Postal codes for Paradise use Las Vegas mailing addresses.

both teams were tired of being second fiddle to the Yankees and Mets when it came to field useage. When the Jets played at Shea stadium, they couldn't have a home game until the Mets season ended, which was trouble in 1969 and 1973. the Jets didn't get any home games in 1969 until week six, and then played at Shea straight through to week 12. in 1973 they went clear to week 7 on the road. As for the stadium's location, the Meadowlands swamps were basically the only place in the metro area you could build a stadium that big with sufficient parking for 80,000 plus and not get anyone angry at you. When they tried to build a stadium on the west side of Manhattan for the Jets when Giants Stadium's useful life ended, political hell broke lose, which is why the Jets stuck with Giants and share MetLife (Which I still like calling "New Meadowlands" cause it sounds SO much cooler)

And in baseball we have the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Now Anaheim is an incorporated city approximately 30 miles south east of downtown Los Angeles. It's not even in Los Angeles County, it's part of Orange County and is better known as the home of Disneyland. Arte Moreno, the current owner of the Angels had the marketing idea/ego trip that he could make the Angels into a bigger and more lucrative property by associating the team with Los Angeles area even though the Los Angeles Dodgers hold a strong grip on most Los Angeles baseball fans hearts and Orange County fans more or less despise being identified with the Los Angeles. Anaheim is still an official part of the team's name because the Angels home games are played in Angels Stadium, which is owned by the City of Anaheim. So neither the Angels nor Anaheim are part of L.A., but the stupid name; which pretty much all baseball fans in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties think is ridiculous, persists.

Adam Weishaupt Population density has nothing to do with it. And besides, I hate highly populated areas

@adamweishaupt3733 7 лет назад

Steven B Las Vegas is a special case because it's dense but still unincorporated. It's not a strange thing for Nowhere, WA to be unincorporated because there aren't enough people for it to matter.

No reason to be disrespectful, and the population is about 750k FYI. She said it's unusual for a county to be unicoperated and I'm pointing out it's really not-there are lots of places.

@Original_Tenshi_Chan 9 лет назад

It gets even more confusing when you realize where the "las vegas" and "unincorporated counties" are, and how it screws with our utilities and licensing. For example, I opened a business ON Sahara Blvd. But when I went to submit my paperwork for the business license, I had to add an addendum to notate if I was on the South side of the street or the North side, because the Northern side of the street- that abuts the West bound half of the road- Is in "Unincorporated Clark County" and thus not subject to any of the city laws, taxes or licenses. However if I was on the Southern side- adjacent to the East Bound half of the road- then my costs would more than quadruple and I would have to obtain about 3 more "licenses and permits". To make things that much more fun, when I lived in one condo, on one side of my street, I had my water through the Las Vegas Valley Water District, whoever on the same street, just the other side of the street, and my water was now through the "City of North Las Vegas".. BTW, The actual City of North Las Vegas is about 15 miles from my house and in no way even adjacent to the particular "Unincorporated municipality" that I live in. OH! I almost forgot, let's make this a little more complicatedly fun.. Paradise is not the only Unincorporated Place; the majority of the Las Vegas Valley is in one of many "Unincorporated places". In some areas, the entire "Unincorporated Place" is no bigger than the one house it encompasses, and they are sporadic, uneven, and random. I've seen a few areas where two stores in the same strip mall end up in different "Unincorporated/Incorporated" places. In fact, our cops regularly fudge the mile markers where they pull people over, in order to increase the costs of tickets, since they change depending on whichever unincorporated/incorporated place you're in.... O_O

@ValidityJ 4 года назад

Wrong about our cops "fudging" tickets to get more money. Speaking as someone who used to be a police dispatcher in LVMPD. The ticket starts where the crime occurred so, if you ran a red light but it took said cop a block to pull you over and now you crossed from city to county and you're stopped in county, your ticket is reflected for the city, not the county. They often call over the radio to have the dispatcher verify where the city/county line is at. Cops don't care about pulling people over just to give the city more money. They are not sheisty & complicated like that, they are much more simple. They are pulling you over simply because you broke the law. And really, most want to deal with more exciting stuff like robberies in progress, a car stop where the person runs from them, etc. Your average citizen, they're gonna do their job but that's the easy, mundane stuff. I promise you, they don't care about the cost of your ticket or where you pay it to.

@hariman7727 4 года назад

And that's why cities should lower taxes and remove unnecessary licensing regulations. High taxes are just plain bad, and licensing is often put in place by the existing members of a trade to prevent new competition from coming into the city.

@Hopscotchlemonadespritz 3 года назад

This clarifies a lot! When you read that Las Vegas has a pop. of over 2M, a functional place that size with things like hospitals, libraries or schools doesn't sound compatible with "The Strip". All of it located in an immediately adjacent community with differing governance makes the whole affair seem more sustainable.

just an interesting note- while less official unincorporated communities are pretty common in the US (and obv there's Paradise) in the state of Alaska, there is the "Unincorporated Borough," meaning that it is possible to escape both city- and county-level regulations & taxes, as long as you're willing to go to somewhere that's considered the middle of nowhere even by Alaskan standards.
