LV has 6000 people a month coming here, with no end in sight. CA might very well implode, lots of businesses are relocating to NV. The Dems have raped CA, virtually killed the Golden Goose. Lots of people love it here because there isn't any white stuff on the ground during the winter.

As far as style goes LV looks to LA for it's direction. As Detroit and Chicago looks to NYC. It is kind of vapid here.

Home design in CA etc goes through cycles in the 50's and 60's it was the Ranch style sprawling single story. In the 70's it was the CA Spanish/ Mexican with the Red tile Roofs, in the 80's and 90's it switched to a Italian/French Med look. Today it has gone to Spanish revival of the 20's, Med revival of the 20's...Wallace Nef.. Prairie School .. FL Wright.

I look at floor plan, when I buy a home. I personally like the Spanish revival of the 20's. Question I have to ask myself is will it age well, is the design timless or just trendy?
