Tunnels beneath Vegas a refuge for homeless people
In Las Vegas, about 300 men live in a vast underground storm system beneath the city. The tunnels house camps from a few blankets to elaborate setups with beds and utensils and include hazards like filth, water, and unpredictable weather. Local officials note the network spans roughly 500 miles of pipes and basins, built to drain floodwater, with ongoing efforts to relocate tunnel residents to stable housing.
