Show Notes
Politicians on all sides of the aisle have pushed the acquisition of federal lands on the outskirts of Las Vegas as a solution for our housing crisis. But is outward expansion the answer? On today’s news roundup, co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman are joined by Nevada Current journalist Michael “MJ” Lyle, who recently interviewed housing experts about the problems with building out into the desert. Next up, the team looks at the growing fight over the possible shut-down of CCSD’s tiniest school, Lundy Elementary up on Mt. Charleston. And last, with the Mirage volcano’s demolition on the horizon, we talk about its storied history (was it really piña colada-scented?) and how we’ll pay tribute to this Strip icon.
