A fast-growing state, lagging incomes and a limited supply of developable land created an affordable housing crisis in Nevada before the pandemic hit. Supply chain constraints and construction costs experienced during COVID-19 only exacerbated the issue. In the pandemic's wake, have our elected leaders done enough to solve the affordable housing crisis? What's it going to take to put Nevada on a sustainable path to boost housing supply into the foreseeable future? And are our leaders pushing the right buttons or advancing limited solutions? The nonpartisan Guinn Center recently released the report on housing affordability in Nevada.

Grab a seat and join me as we journey through Nevada's most haunted spots. Featured Locations: The Silver Queen Hotel 28 N C Street, Virginia City, NV 89440 This hotel, built in 1876, reflects the opulence of the Comstock Lode era. It's rumored to be haunted by a woman who wanders the halls, her soft cries heard late at night. The Goldfield Hotel 400 N Main Street, Goldfield, NV 89013 Built in 1908, this grand hotel was once the pride of a booming gold town. The spirit of a young woman named Elizabeth is said to haunt its corridors after her untimely death within the hotel. The Hoover Dam Hoover Dam Access Road, Boulder City, NV 89005 Completed in 1936, this massive dam was an engineering feat, but over 100 workers lost their lives during its construction. Legend has it that the spirits of some of these workers linger, with many reporting ghostly apparitions and strange noises. Piper's Opera House 12 N B Street, Virginia City, NV 89440 Since 1885, this opera house has entertained locals and visitors alike. However, the ghost of a young actress, said to have perished in a fire, is often seen wandering the stage and backstage areas. The Overland Hotel & Saloon 662 Main Street, Pioche, NV 89043 Established in the 1860s, this hotel was a hub during Pioche's wild days. The ghost of a cowboy, said to have died in a shootout, has been sighted by guests and staff. The Clown Motel 521 N Main Street, Tonopah, NV 89049 Known for its eerie collection of clown memorabilia, this motel is located next to a cemetery dating back to 1901. Many guests report hearing strange sounds and seeing shadows moving near the graves. The Boulder Dam Hotel 1305 Arizona Street, Boulder City, NV 89005 Built in 1933, this hotel once hosted celebrities and engineers from the Hoover Dam project. Guests have seen the spirit of a man in a black suit wandering the halls. The Old Washoe Club 112 S C Street, Virginia City, NV 89440 Opened in 1862, this social club is famous for its ghostly residents, including the “Lady in Blue,” a spirit believed to have died on the premises.

Three Election Reformers Approach the Finish Line: Will Nevada Adopt the Alaska Model?

The Purple Principle

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 14, 2024 38:49


In 2024, Nevada voters will see a ballot Question 3 strikingly similar to the question on Final Five voting that passed by 6 points back in 2022. That's because a constitutional amendment must be passed by voters twice in succession, according to Nevada law.  And should voters approve Question 3 again this year, Nevada will become the second state (after Alaska) to implement this ambitious electoral voting reform system including a unified open primary and ranked choice general election.   “After we won,” recalls Cesar Marquez of Nevada's first passage of Final Five Voting in 2022, “Sondra, Doug, and I and so many others, we felt, okay, we now have two years to talk about ranked choice voting.” A former Tesla Engineer, Marquez is referring to his colleagues Doug Goodman of Nevadans for Election Reform and Dr. Sondra Cosgrove of Vote Nevada.  In this episode We learn how Goodman, a retired military veteran, began working on election reform in the Silver State a decade ago.  Initially, Goodman lobbied extensively for legislative action before pivoting to the ballot initiative process. He recalls:  “One of the questions I was posing to business leaders at the time was, if you had a more open electoral system, could that be a tiebreaker if a company was considering moving to Nevada?”  Sonda Cosgrove,  a history professor at Southern Nevada College, soon joined Goodman in that effort. She had noticed an alarming and counterintuitive trend in her efforts at Vote Nevada. Yes, more voters were registering to vote. But they were not voting in larger numbers.  “And so we started realizing that they were being turned off right at the get-go in the primary,” says Cosgrove.” That's when.. .they were just kind of opting out.” Marquez joined forces with Goodman and Cosgrove to place Final Five Voting on that 2022 ballot. But he came at political reform from a very different direction.  “The first thing I'll say is that I never liked politics, I still don't like politics,” admits Marquez. “ My background is in engineering, and I've worked in manufacturing for my whole career.” What do a military veteran, academic historian and engineer turned reformer have in common?  Is ranked choice voting best demonstrated by a “rank the drink” event in English or “rank the taco” evening in Spanish? The Purple Principles discusses these and other election reform questions in this latest episode of our season-long state election reform series. We began in Idaho then traveled to Washington DC, Alaska, South Dakota and Arizona, before landing here in Nevada.    The Purple Principle is a Fluent Knowledge production.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 28, 2024 is: deference • DEF-uh-runss • noun Deference refers to respect and esteem that is appropriate to show to someone, such as a superior or elder. Something done in deference to, or out of deference to, someone or something is done in order to show respect for the opinions or influence of that person or thing. // The children were taught to show proper deference to their elders. // In deference to those who voted against the change, we'll be having another meeting to discuss how we can mitigate people's concerns. See the entry > Examples: "The new bridge over the Colorado River linking Bullhead City and Laughlin officially has a name. It will be called Silver Copper Crossing.... The formal name was chosen in deference to the two states the bridge connects: Nevada is the Silver State and Arizona is the Copper State." — Bill McMillen, Mohave Valley Daily News (Bullhead City, Arizona), 21 May 2024 Did you know? As you might have guessed, deference is related to the verb defer, meaning "to delegate" or "to submit to another's wishes." But we need to be specific when we tell you that both these words come from the Medieval Latin verb dēferre, which means "to convey, show respect, or submit to a decision," because there are two defers in the English language. The defer related to deference is typically used with to in contexts having to do either with allowing someone else to decide or choose something, as in "I'll defer to the dictionary," or with agreeing to follow someone else's decision, wish, etc., as when a court defers to precedent. The other defer traces to the Latin verb differre, meaning "to carry away in varying directions, spread abroad, postpone, delay, be unlike or distinct." That defer is typically used in contexts having to do with delaying or postponing something, as in "a willingness to defer the decision until next month."

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more campus crackdowns, how the left really offers little besides destruction, President Biden condemning illegal protests only after they've finally been dealt with, and whether Trump and other Republicans might actually have a shot at winning in Nevada this year.First, they welcome California authorities ending the trespassing protests at UCLA and they also get a kick out of these agitators demonizing the University of California system as being a product of  colonialism. They also notice that these "encampments" are all coming down around the same time. Coincidence?Next, they largely agree with President Biden's comments on Thursday defending the right to protest peacefully but denouncing demonstrators who trespass, vandalize, and threaten other people. But where was this a week or two ago? Why does the statement only come now as the protests end?Finally, they dig into Nevada polling numbers and wonder whether Donald Trump can be the first GOP nominee to win the state in 20 years or whether the Silver State will prove to be fool's gold for Republicans yet again.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order.
