Listen "Las Vegas’ Tunnel Community - Should the Vegas “Tunnel Dwellers” Be Removed?"
Episode Synopsis
There are upwards of 1500 people living in the tunnels beneath the Las Vegas Strip. Local lawmakers, police and other authorities are all aware of this growing community. There’s even a local non-profit called, “Shine A Light” foundation dedicated to helping and supporting the tunnel community. But does this effort contribute to more homelessness? Are we only enabling bad behavior? These tunnels are known for illegal activity, including violence and drugs. So what should be done? And where will these individuals end up if we force them out? Guests: Victoria Seaman, Las Vegas City Councilwoman Rob Banghart, Outreach Director, Shine A Light Foundation
