Now i dont really like newspapers, especially the sun, a magazine where more often than not 2 3rds of the front page is a woman with haggis boobs trying to look nonchalant, probably by trying to pronounce the word correctly, but i was linked this article from all around nerdy site boing boing.net, and the accompanying pictures are weird enough to warrant and link and not copy-pasta.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/2651937/The-people-living-in-drains-below-Las-Vegas.html

its about a sub city below vegas of people living off the scraps of the city above in the empty storm drain tunnels.

Seems like this is how those sci-fi mega cities start with a filthy underclass below the smog given off by the wealthy and easy living people on the upper level from damn near every 60s sci-fi novel thats wasnt set in "modern day"

Still, dern' interesting though.

Now that their homeless population is known to the rest of the world, wonder how Vegas leaders will react? Regular police sweeps of the sewers to run off squatters?

-and then all the waste and stuff they dumpster-dive away is left there, rats to move in and you have a worse problem, the shitty circle of life.
