Subject Article: "Downtown Las Vegas Is the Great American Techtopia."

Other Links: 1. "Why Density Matters."
2. "Looking Beyond the Maps of Richard Florida’s 'The Divided City.'"
3. "The Urban Tech Revolution."
4. "STATEMENT From Tony Hsieh, 9/30/14 Downtown Project Q&A: there are a lot of misleading headlines flying around out there…"
