What's CITY Talking About?

⛺ Homeless Camps Move From Tunnels to Neighborhoods

Unhoused people cleared from underground wash tunnels in May are now showing up in nearby neighborhoods — and homeowners aren’t happy about it, citing an uptick in crime and downgrade in home values. [KSNV]

😣 Broadacres Marketplace Remains Closed

The decision to close Broadacres Marketplace was made after an ICE raid at a Los Angeles marketplace operated by the same parent company resulted in two detainments, although it appears neither one was a vendor or employee. Lawyers say Broadacres is considered a public space that doesn’t require a warrant for federal agents to enter. [KVVU]

🃏 Winner Nixed From WSOP Tournament

The World Series of Poker has declared no winner in one of its largest tournaments after allegations of “chip dumping” — a scheme in which two players conspire to increase one of the player’s stack of chips. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

🧨 Fireworks Show Faces Shortage

The fireworks delivery for Boulder City’s Damboree celebration was canceled after a deadly explosion at a fireworks factory in China. Organizers are moving forward with a smaller version of the show and dropping the vehicle entry fee from $20 to $10. [KLAS]
