Las Vegas is growing, but still has water and housing issues to face

Las Vegas is growing.

Stories say we’ll be at 5 million people by 2050, that 115 people are moving here a day, and Clark County is the number one destination for homeowners looking for a place to move.

Now, cities progress through growth. But of course, we have our water issues. Maybe bigger than that, though, is our housing issue.

We don’t have enough homes. For that matter, what’s the current real estate market look like? Are people still buying homes?


Guests: Lee Barrett, president, Las Vegas Realtors; Jonathan Gedde, CEO, SimpliFi Mortgage; Andrew Woods, director, UNLV's Center for Business and Economic Research; Brendan King, founder, The Brendan King Group at Real Broker, LLC
