A UNLV student in a Public Relations class was assigned to do a press release and media kit for a local non-profit. She picked Island Foundation and so we have been talking about blogs and social media and relaunching Island.
This is Rebbecca's blog, a post about the blight on Las Vegas Neighborhoods during this current recession. In my neighborhood as in the ones she describes, almost half the houses are vacant with foreclosure stickers.
Unlike the trens she observes in some neighborhoods, most people would consider me somewhat hip (in my nerdy square sort of way). And I am just about the last one standing in my neighborhood which has almost all my neighbors go the past 7 years I've live here.
After typing ”Las Vegas foreclosures” into the google search engine box today, the query produced six million results. The first three pages of such results were filled with companies involved in the sale of home foreclosures. I was actually looking for statistics on foreclosure rates, but decided I didn’t really need them. All I had to do was look around me, and only in my neighborhood’s vicinity.
For more on the Vegas forclosure scene, read the rest of her story at the link at the top of this post.
