Poet Squatting in Vegas

Many of us are taking hits, suffering unemployment and displacement due to the continuing collapse of the economy. The issue of foreclosures is far a more complicated nightmare as one of the poets we have published is finding out. In his blog Vegas Quixote Dahn Shaulis describes the ongoing struggle of squatting in his own condo after the owners were foreclosed on. He also gives us a picture of how the crumbling economy is affecting Las Vegas and how ineffectual and unprepared local government is in dealing with the escalating disaster.
