Then how can you enjoy life there if it is so hot and so humid outside? And inside you can't live without AC?
Thats a mystery to me...
I have never been to Florida but what I heard it is not easy to stay there in summer.
Florida is great in the summer. There's this little cooling mechanisam called the Atlantic Ocean that can help you beat the heat if you're not into the whole AC thing.
Vegas is pretty durn hot in the summer but I've been here for so long that I'm very use to the heat. The only time of day that I won't go outside is around 5 o'clock becasue that's when the afternoon heat really kicks in (kinda like standing infront of a blow drier or a hot air gun) other then that it's not too bad. Concidering Las Vegas isn't the first of the desert communties in existance I'd say that almost anyone can get use to it, after all it is the fastest growing city in america and the largest city in the world built after 1900.
The only problem with Vegas is that there is a lot of gangs
This is so way off base. Ofcourse there are gangs here but they aren't any worse then those of anyother metropolitan city. N Las Vegas isn't the best part of town but having lived in Baltimore, i can tell you first hand that you really don't have that much to fear from N. Las Vegas. There are few neighborhoods in the city that you have to have concerns about dirive by's, turf wars or that kind of gang BS, it really doesn't happen here. I lived on Lake Mead and Jones (apparenlty a cop hotspot) with drug dealears living on all sides of my apartment then and It defiantely wasn't your typical "slummed out" area with dudes slinging rocks on the corner.
It ain't good when you live in a place you have to stay inside the house all the time and can't take a walk outside because its so hot. Most of the time you won't see a soul outside in the streets
This is a fallacy as well. I see TONS of people outside my apt every day playing basket ball, riding bikes, frisbee in the park. Just because the sun's up doesn't make the city a ghost town all of a sudden. It's a typical place like anyother, it just takes some time to adjust to the heat. The kids in my community are outside all day everyday during these hot summer months and they don't complain about the heat at all, mostly because it's all they've ever known but still they're out and about.
