i'd like to think they got jobs and went somewhere else
Surprisingly, I see less homeless here than I saw when I lived in colder climates, but that might be because I'm not downtown all that much.
But I'm guessing that Vegas attracts homeless from all over, and that there are relief agencies with that in mind.
